Chedino performing as Divas in Cabaret

“Divas in Cabaret is my baby. Beauty pageants like Miss Temptation and club performances like Divas in Cabaret make a difference in our community. These activities give us a chance to show people that there is more to us than just make-up and beautiful clothing. It’s a platform where we get to be ourselves with no faking or pretending. We get to teach the audience that style, posture and grace are our unspoken elements. For most of us it’s the way we walk, the way we talk and the manner we present ourselves.

I sing a variety of songs but mostly Whitney Houston, Gladys Knight, Diana Ross, Jennifer Hudson, Gloria Gaynor and Donna Summers because these are all strong women that went through hell but somehow managed to hold their heads up high.

All these women had a dream and went full steam ahead to make that dream a reality.”
