The Rise of Drag Events... In recent years, the world of entertainment has witnessed an incredible surge in the popularity of drag artists. What was once an underground subculture has blossomed into a mainstream phenomenon, captivating audiences worldwide with its creativity, diversity, and unapologetic self-expression. Drag artists have evolved from not only being icons within the LGBTQ+ community to becoming internationally celebrated entertainers who embody the life of the party. From weddings and corporate gatherings to parties and charity fundraisers, the versatility of drag artists knows no bounds, making them a sought-after option for event planners looking to provide a one of a kind experience. https://lnkd.in/e3uDgeXP

The humble journey of the Smiling Rainbow platform begins on February 19, 2019, with only one mission: SHARING PAIN MUST NOT BE EXPENSIVE. Over this period we have provided free counseling to thousands of individuals nationwide. Initially, our platform catered exclusively to members of the LGBTQ+ community. Over time, however, we began to receive inquiries and calls from individuals of various backgrounds. Based on our experience we have observed many trends in society, whereas few trends are ironic and on the other hand few are disturbing. In an attempt to spread awareness, we are going to share many such information in our #NoMotivationOnlyInformation campaign. The purpose of that series is simply to spread information in society instead of motivation.   No one desires to succumb to depression. When individuals find themselves immersed in the depths of despair, all they seek is steadfast support to prevent them from sinking. We aspire to be that unwavering support, by offering a new, comprehensive platform that provides free or affordable counseling for all without discrimination. We did our best for years to ensure  #FreeCounselingServiceForAll. Finally, we had to stop our free counseling service from August 2023 onwards due to a funding constraint. To resume our #FreeCounselingServiceForAll we need your support. Your generous contribution could bring much-needed relief to many lives.
