Meet Our Emcee
Hi! I’m Beaux Mason (also known as Sofanda Cox/Love). My pronouns are he/him, she/her, and they/them. I’m a gay, gender-fluid person, born and raised right here in Nebraska.
I’m one of the co-founders of Aurora Pride, and my life’s mission is simple but fierce: to make the world safer for our trans, nonbinary, and queer communities.
To anyone who feels like there’s no space for them—I’ve got one piece of advice: MAKE IT.
