The House of LaBeija is a short documentary film featuring members of the prominent ballroom family, the House of LaBeija. The House of LaBeija is the first ballroom house-- established in 1972 by Crystal LaBeija. The film pays homage to the House of LaBeija through a series of letters from its members and features original music composition from Manhattanite, Khalif Diouf, formerly known as Le1F. In 2022 the House of LaBeija's members continue the tradition of being a safe space for transgender women, a safe space for queer people, and a safe space for those who need one. They are family and New York City is their home.
