“Excellence is paramount. As the Founding California Mother, I am deeply committed to the well-being of all our members. I advocate for excellence within and beyond the ballroom floor. I value confidence, humility, love, sportsmanship, and setting a standard both for oneself and for LaBeija. Remember, whether it's a win, loss, draw, or chop, take it in stride, keep pushing harder, and maintain consistency.”

- Reanté LaBeija

In ballroom, a “house” is a safe-haven for queer people of color and a home with a family for those who don’t have one. As with any traditional home, it is structured with a Mother (the head/leader/financier of the house) and Children (younger members of the house). A staple that is still implemented today.
