Empowering Cultural Self-Determination in Trans and Queer BIPOC Communities

Agency, Autonomy, & Affirmation: Empowering Cultural Self Determination in Trans and Queer BIPOC Communities
According to the 2021 Tracking Report published by Funders for LGBTQ Issues, "$78.4 million, 31 percent of overall LGBTQ funding, was allocated to LGBTQ communities of color broadly." However, LGBT Data & Demographics at the Williams Institute stated that 42% of the LGBT community identify as people of color. Despite reporting more racial diversity than the general adult U.S. population, TQBIPOC (Trans and Queer Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) are challenged with disproportionate inequities such as higher rates of unemployment and housing insecurity. Through this conversation, presenters will share how cultural self-determination is a path for racial, gender, and economic justice.
Join J. HD Goodridge (Black Trans Fund), J Mase III (The Black Trans Prayer Book), Omni Romero (Pride Foundation), and Morgan (Mo) Willis (Third Wave Fund) to explore the intricate intersections of queer liberation and racial equity, and unveil actionable strategies for funders to uplift TQBIPOC artists and creatives.
