JEEZY'S JUKE JOINT: A Black BurlyQ Revue JEEZY’s Juke JOINT WAS
CONCEIVED OUT OF A DESIRE TO CREATE A SPACE FOR BLACK PERFORMERS TO BE
SEEN AND CELEBRATED. After becoming enchanted with burlesque in 2009,
with the artists and their stories, the glitz and glamour, and the
freedom that came with creating her own artistic voice, Jeez Loueez
began to seek out other performers of color. What she found was a lack
of visibility. She knew of their existence but where were the
inspirational trailblazers? Where was Brown Girls Burlesque? Harlem
Shake Burlesque? Foxy Tann and the Wham Bam Thank You Ma’am’s and
how could she elevate them? How could she ensure that the black
community could see their experiences reflected on burlesque
stages?The answer was what Quilt Magazine has called, “the most
important show of the year” Jeezy’s Juke Joint. What started off
as a blog featuring black performers, has transformed into a live
weekend extravaganza. Over the past six years Jeez Loueez has produced
and curated an astonishingly thoughtful line up of glamour,
storytelling, and thought-provoking pieces. Past guest have included
Perle Noire, The Luminous Pariah, Marz Timms, Ray Gunn, The Lady Ms.
Vagina Jenkins, Jamila Woods, Miss Poison Ivory (2016 Queen of
Burlesque) and more.
Jeezy’s Juke Joint is more than just a show. It is an experience
that creates a safe space for marginalized performers to share their
voices, all while cultivating community, preserving and creating
history, and ensuring that burlesque is accessible to the black
community. It is a jump, jiving, foot stomping good time that leaves
everyone that witnesses it transformed.
