We are literally in an ongoing Black mental health crisis- and we literally train Black communities across the country on healing justice and crisis support, fund an entire network of Black mental health orgs and people are like “but how is that movement work?” Its ridiculous

If a gay is in their 40s or older they likely grew up when AIDS was a death sentence and before PREP.

There is one in NYC already. It’s called MOBI Fest. @Mobi_NYC
Thinking out loud. I wish I had unlimited funds to produce a two-day (or three) Black LGBTQ music festival in Atlanta, NYC, or DC — like our own Coachella. There’s so many talents to book for this 2024. I’ll come up with a potential list later. Would you attend?
