BLACK QUEER HISTORY IS BLACK HISTORY.
For Black History Month, BSA will be highlighting influential LGBTQ+ figures who have contributed to the community as cultural curators, innovators, activists, and more. Today, we honor Stormé Delarverie. An Icon, Drag King, and Activist.
Happy Black History Month! This month, we are showing that Black Queer History IS Black History & celebrating with a new line of merch! Your purchase will not only celebrate LGBTQ+ trailblazers, but will contribute to the work that we do to build & sustain queer & trans futures!
⭐️ We want to start the week off right with recognizing an amazing staff member and pillar of the Chicago Trans community, @stephanieskora! As COO, Stephanie keeps us together, makes sure we run smoothly, and brings incredible energy to the office.
Let’s give a warm welcome to Kimea (They/She), our new Executive Assistant to the Interim CEO! Kimea is a bright force and brings lots of laughs, good vibes, and unapologetic energy to the space. We are incredibly happy to have Kimea on the team & couldn’t do things without them!
Huge thank you to @LambdaLegal for their support on an inclusive SB 1534!!!
