Yusef Williams—known in the Ballroom world as Yusef Miyake-Mugler—is a creative powerhouse whose influence stretches from haute couture catwalks to the heart of the Ballroom floor. As one of the most sought-after hairstylists in the world, Yusef has styled everyone from runway icons to Rihanna herself, cementing his legacy with a record number of Vogue covers by a Black hairstylist. “This month is extra special for me and my chosen family and friends,” Yusef shares. “We walk around proud of ourselves and our accomplishments and things that we’re working towards every day, but when Pride Month gets here, it’s an extra celebration. It’s an extra bonus to who we are and what people went through for us to be here to live our true lives.”

In BET.com’s 12 Days of Pride, which documents the diverse expressions of Black LGBTQ+ pride and power, Yusef shares his dual role as artist and community architect. Now streaming on BET+, House on Fire brings Yusef’s dual worlds into sharp focus. This 8-episode docu-series pulls back the curtain on modern-day Ballroom culture, following the chosen family that is the House of Mugler. While balancing his high-profile career and launching his Y by Yusef haircare line. In 12 Days of Pride, Yusef reminds us that legacy isn’t just what you leave behind—it’s what you build, protect, and pass on with love.
