Meet AfroDite.
The icon. The muse. The baddest babe in the Pacific Northwest.
AfroDite Bust 2019
She's bold. She's radiant. She's unapologetically herself and she's here to remind you that the revolution has a soundtrack, and it’s FUNK!
About AfroDite.
AfroDite is the official fatbabe mascot of What the Funk?! — the first BIPOC burlesque festival in the Pacific Northwest. Brought to life by the extraordinary illustrator Lori Collins, AfroDite embodies everything the festival stands for: beauty without apology, Blackness without limits, and joy that cannot be contained.
You'll find her on the posters. On the merch. In the energy of every performer who takes that stage and dares to take up space.
She isn't just a mascot. She's a movement.
