Hey Y'all!
As you might already know, school is starting back up pretty soon.
Ugh, I know.
But, not to fret, because at the same time school will be back in session,
the 5th annual Hispanic Black Gay Coalition Youth Empowerment Conference will be taking place!
You may be asking, "Kyle, now, what is the Hispanic Black Gay Coalition Youth Empowerment Conference?"
Good question Friend!
Just in case you aren't familiar with the organization,
let me first tell you about the Hispanic Black Gay Coalition,
An excerpt from their website:
"Hispanic Black Gay Coalition (HBGC) is one of few non-profit organizations in Boston dedicated to the unique and complex needs of the Black, Hispanic and Latin@ LGBTQ community. Founded in 2009, we work to inspire and empower Latin@, Hispanic and Black LGBTQ individuals to improve their livelihood through activism, education, community outreach, and counseling.
Hispanic Black Gay Coalition (HBGC) es una Organización en Boston dedicada a servir y unir a la comunidad LGBTQ Afro Americana y Latina. Trabajamos para inspirar y fortalecer individuos de la comunidad, LGBTQ Afro Americana y Latinos, para mejorar sus vidas a través del activismo, educación, y consejeria."
Copacetic, right?!
Okay, now to tell you about the youth empowerment conference,
"HBGC's Annual Youth Empowerment Conference is a FREE space for LGBTQ Youth of Color to connect with one another, share resources, and gain useful skills for navigating life and creating social change. It is currently the largest conference gathering of LGBTQ youth of color and their allies in New England!
This year is our 5th year of holding the conference and we are excited that it continues to grow in size and in diversity of topics and attendees.
At The Conference Expect To:
- Be inspired by our keynote speakers
