Kiel Hughes,
Board Chair / Director of Events
As a Hamilton-area native up to this point in his life, Kiel has seen many changes and witnessed many ups and down; however, he feels there is still a lot of work to be done, and a lot of things still need to be improved.
His road to social activism started when he was cast on a TV show; the impact he had on people pushed him to continue on this path. With a firm belief in equality, equity, anti-racism, anti-oppression, and human rights, Kiel has a desire to see and feel change. As a drag performer, Kiel uses drag as an outlet to help get his point of view across, to bring people together, to bring a smile to faces, and to encourage broadened thinking.
Joined Pride Hamilton in December 2020
