SINT MAARTEN (GREAT BAY) – The island sparkled with glitter and pride as beloved local drag performer Mdm. A took the stage at Tortuga Maho for a spectacular Drag Bingo Fundraiser in support of the FREEGAN Foundation. With a crowd of 82 guests, the night was bursting with joy, energy, and inclusivity—and raised an impressive $2,000 for the cause.
Mdm. A not only hosted with flair but also treated the audience to live performances, using her platform to share a powerful message about the importance of queer visibility and community care.
