Chaska Sofia, also known as DJ Precolumbian, is a party promoter and producer creating dream dance floors for queer and trans people of color. With a roving cast of queer DJs, performers and party producers, Sofia creates spaces and parties that center women just like her: black and brown, queer and trans, native and proud.

In this segment, DJ Precolumbian talks with us about what her dream party looks like, how dancing and trauma are connected and what it means to mourn Orlando while being brown, trans and queer.
