Landon Bone’t Dickerson
Landon B. Dickerson is a New Orleans native, community advocate, fashion stylist, and performing artist with more than 20 years of experience in entertainment and LGBTQIA+ leadership. He currently serves as a community outreach specialist for Project Red Paint Inc. and is the founder of RichStylz Fashion Closet, a personal styling and fashion consulting brand.
Proudly living within the LGBTQIA+ community for over two decades, Landon uses his story as a source of strength and advocacy. After contracting HIV more than 15 years ago, he chose to walk forward with confidence and faith. From that journey came his platform, “I’ve Been Walking.” The message is simple but powerful: sometimes the journey begins alone — you walk, then you run, and eventually you have the courage to jump. Through jumping, you experience life at its fullest.
A seasoned entertainer, Landon has spent 20 years performing, with 15 of those years dedicated to both male pageantry and the art of female impersonation. After relocating to Atlanta, he became a cast member of “The Five” and a weekly host and performer at the legendary Marquette Lounge. His stage experience evolved into a dynamic pageant career, earning him an impressive list of titles including:
• Mr. North America Prince 2019
• Mr. Duval Newcomer 2019–2022
• Mr. Galaxy Worldwide 2020
• Mr. All Star Icon 2020
• Mr. Duval Universe 2020
• Mr. Duo of Distinction 2021
• Mr. East Coast National 2023
• Mr. Black Pride International
• Current Mr. Cosmopolitan 2025
Now based in New York City, Landon works with fashion brands, television productions, and community organizations, serving as a celebrity stylist and runway/image consultant. He is an active participant in the New York/New Jersey ballroom scene, competing in Best Dressed, Glitz & Glam, and All-American Runway categories. Landon proudly holds the position of NY Overseer for the Exclusive Kiki House of Giuseppe Zanotti.
Grounded in purpose, Landon remains committed to LGBTQIA+ youth and community empowerment. Through mentorship, outreach, and visibility, he strives to educate, uplift, and inspire every individual he encounters.
