HOW WE STARTED

This event mindfully replaces the previously announced Pride 2020 Drag Fest originally organized by Marti Gould Cummings in order to center on Black queer voices and offer a moment for healing, rejoicing, mourning, and love. A diverse collection of LGBTQ voices will celebrate Black LGBTQ people, and discuss pathways to dismantle racism, fight white supremacy, and pay homage to the queer people of color who started the revolution at Stonewall.

“Bob and Peppermint are incredible leaders and I am honored that our virtual pride event is now being produced by them. We must carry on the message of Marsha and Sylvia and I can’t wait for the world to see this incredible event that will uplift Black voices within our community.”
