Omni delivers lectures nationwide, helping to furthering HIV/AIDS education and awareness. As of 2019, Omni estimates he has lost more than 600 friends in the ballroom scene, at some points feeling he was attending one funeral after the next.

Omni started attending house ball culture events in 1979, “They were colorful, very "Las Vegas showgirl", very "Cabaret", full of entertainment. People knew how to sew their own garments, and took pridee in being able to pay for what they put on their backs.” Omni founded the ball house of Omni in 1980–which was renamed the House of UltraOmni in 1990–and has chapters across the country. Omni came from Thomas "Dimples" Baker who picked it out of a dictionary. The house system that supports the ball culture traces back to at least the early 1900s. Costume balls where LGBTQ people, including people of color, could attend and even be celebrated. The modern house system and ball culture started in the 1970s and became a social network for many gay and trans black and Latino homeless teenagers.

In 1988 he appointed Michael Wooten, a dancer and a singer who does shows throughout New York and New Jersey, as the first official house father in 1988. In 1990 the documentary Paris Is Burning debuted taking the culture and its signature dance style, voguing, mainstream. The same year Madonna—who celebrates many dance forms in concerts and videos—released “Vogue” which featured the dance taking it global.
From 1973-1976 he attended Clara Barton High School for health professions in Brooklyn, New York. He majored in medical lab technology and hospital office procedures.
