Body Positive Magazine Feature: How Do I Look

Body Positive magazine published an article about the documentary How Do I Look. The article focused on the community arts program aspect of this documentary, touching upon the potential educational effectiveness of community outreach programs such as the How Do I Look project. The article also featured first-person narratives by activist Luna Khan (Luna Luis Ortiz) and dancer Octavia St. Laurent.


The message in How Do I Look is that the members of the Ballroom community are creative and professional people making contributions to society by sending strong HIV/AIDS awareness messages through entertainment. The How Do I Look project is being called an EduTainment/DocuFeature film because of the complexity of this project and all the elements that it ties together. By educating through entertainment, the producers believe that they can reach youth of all races in many countries through this film by documenting this exciting artistic Ballroom community (Read the entire article about the How Do I Look documentary in Body Positive magazine).
