Our Commitment to Justice
In 2020, Vaudezilla faced challenges sparked by an open letter that raised important conversations around racial equity. We’ve since reflected, learned, and grown, reaffirming our commitment to fostering inclusivity in all we do. We believe that burlesque and the arts have the power to uplift, inspire, and create lasting change. We stand firmly in the pursuit of equity, justice, and representation for all voices, and are dedicated to building a creative space where every person, no matter their background, can feel empowered and seen.
A Message from Annie
“My mission is to help you embrace who you are and express that boldly. Through my performances, classes, and coaching, I aim to inspire confidence, connection, and self-love in every body. I believe that by exploring our creative side and celebrating our sensuality, we can transform not only how we see ourselves but how we interact with the world. Let’s create something unforgettable together!”
