Part 2: Jacen Bowman | A $25,000 Moment in History | Produced by

Our YPS Clubhouse two-part series continues with none other than Jacen Bowman, who didn’t just walk the ballroom floor, he made history on it. Becoming the highest paid person in ballroom history by winning $25,000, Jacen proved that talent, dedication, and authenticity always cash out.

But his story is bigger than a check. Jacen’s win symbolizes what’s possible for Black and Brown LGBTQ folks: turning culture into currency, artistry into advocacy, and community into a movement.

Catch Part 2 of our interview and hear how Jacen transformed ballroom brilliance into generational inspiration.
