Athena Dion ENTERTAINER
Athena Dion has been Miami’s diva extraordinaire for years, doing everything from hosting drag brunches at R House in Wynwood to parties at Score. But it wasn’t until she was crowned Miss Miami Beach Gay Pride in 2015 that Dion decided to capitalize on her celebrity. “When I won the pageant, I really started to take my career on a more philanthropic path,” she says.
LGBT champions
“I have worked with a lot of amazing charities and met so many people that donate so much of their lives to our community, and I’m inspired to do the same.” Some of Dion’s work includes hosting and raising money for Impulse Group South Florida, Care Resource’s annual AIDS Walk and the This Free Life campaign, and working at the LGBT Visitor Center on Miami Beach. “The visitor center is the hub for all things gay in Miami,” says Dion. “Working together, we strengthen our voice and our presence here to show visitors the best places to go and have a good time. From award shows to travel commercials, we unite Miami with the worldwide LGBT community, and that’s an amazing thing.”
“Working together, we strengthen our voice and our presence.”
