Sheridan Pride 2025: Raise the Rainbow 🏳️‍🌈

May 29, 2025  

Drop by in person or broadcast online to indulge in the artistry of our host and drag queen, Guy Anabella, learn about the SSU’s ongoing efforts to foster inclusive and safe spaces, and grab some free pride stickers and mini flags to wave high and proud. 🌈✨ 

 

 

Meet Guy Anabella!

By day, Guy Anabella is a fierce Creativity Professor in Ontario, empowering her students to be their true selves and use creativity to change the world for the better.

At night, she transforms into Guy Anabella, a drag artist drawing inspiration from her Guyanese heritage. Her mission in drag is to dismantle traditional gender binaries, celebrate Caribbean culture, and empower individuals through creativity.

As a powerlifter, she uses her physical strength to challenge societal expectations of gender, blending her muscular physique with bold, feminine aesthetics. She was recently featured on Crave’s Drag Brunch Saved My Life, showcasing her unique blend of brains, brawn, and beauty to a national audience.
