Member Juliana Huxtable has been in Berlin while being unable to perform, joining local protests against racism and police brutality.
House of Ladosha proposes chic, politically conscious designs for the world that the LGBT community wants. Members of the House of Ladosha work in video installation, performance art, drag, and music. On occasion, the members of the House of Ladosha collaborate and work on content together. House of Ladosha create diverse content that makes one think about the content that they are looking at or listening to. Some members are inspiration for other members, while some members help each other with technical problems. Their music has been cited as a "deconstruction of hip-hop masculinity and sexuality" and Blair and Radakovich have referenced the film Paris is Burning as a major influence on their music as well as clothing.
