Sylvia Ximi is the premiere president of House of Hues, after functioning as Troupe Manager while the Troupe moved between various owners before finding home under House of Hues. By day, Sylvia works as a graphic and web designer, and enjoys offering their design skills to House of Hues when not running things as a board member. Sylvia's passion lies in creating space for queer people to authentically express their truth, and values allowing identity to be discovered as it is celebrated. Sylvia is also a published writer and illustrator, and has worked in community theater in all variety of roles from performer, to prop and set designer, to director. Letting the community tell HoH how they wish to celebrate and share their own stories is the most exciting part of this work for Sylvia.

Whitney Williams has been a member of House of Hues since 2019. She was elected to the board as our Vice President in 2021 and was a part of the incorporation process that has led to House of Hues being a non-profit. She has her Bachelors in Elementary Education and is a local public school educator. Whitney is a born and raised Prescottonian and has been an avid queer rights activist in our rural town of Prescott working towards truly making her community “Everybody’s Home Town". Creating safe spaces for queer art expression is vital to moving forward as an inclusive community and combatting systemic discrimination. She thinks we can create sustainable change while dancing in heels. Whitney also moonlights as Swan Marie on occasion.

Clinton Slay is a proud father of two. He is heavily involved in local theatre, both on stage and behind the curtain. As a gay man, queer representation is important to him. He is proudly a founding member of House of Hues because it creates a space for his community to explore, grow, and blossom in self expression in alignment with the authentic self. Clinton performs with the Troupe as his drag persona of Mary Belle, the Northern Belle of the South. He was raised in Prescott, and has recognized the need for an organization for queer people who have been here like he has, but have been left disenfranchised in the past. The number one virtue Clinton hopes to teach through all that he does is empathy, so that one day his children may grow up in a world that truly values the meaning of love.
