DJ & Trans Activist Lina Bradford to Host A NIGHT OF A THOUSAND GENDERS After Party

Hosted by Legendary DJ and trans activist Lina Bradford, the After Party will feature great music and a chance to win a host of raffle prizes, including airfare from Delta, Broadway and Shakespeare in the Park tickets, Michael Kors Accessories and more. The funds raised at the After Party will support the Gender& Family Project's important programs, gender inclusivity training at schools, family therapy and support for children and teens.

Lina Bradford was born and raised in New York City, across the street from famed Carnegie Hall on the Upper West Side. She identified as Trans at a young age and her career in entertainment began at an early age as a dancer. She studied modern ballet, tap and jazz for 11 years and performed in several companies throughout NYC. Those same moves she learned in rehearsals became a part of her signature style when she began her DJ career 18 years ago by performing throughout the gritty East Village scene. She traveled through Europe, appearing in Sardinia, St Tropez, London and Paris. Accolades soon came rolling in, including DJ of the year and Lifetime Achievement awards at the Glammy and Sage Innovator. She began a residence on Fire Island in 2005 and has been holding it down every weekend since. DJ Lina is often seen hosting the biggest private parties from NYC to Europe. Even with all her accomplishments, she feels as if she is just beginning to hit her stride. "I've never felt more sexy and solidified in my life," she says. "This is by far the most beautiful spot I've been in." http://www.djlina.com/
