Big News 2x!

Family, our very own Anna DeShawn is honored to have received a scholarship to attend the 2024 SOS Conference! She has attended the last couple of years and it's helped to inform our award winning "Black HIV in the South: How Did We Get Here" Qube original podcast as well as build community and shape future projects.

SOS is a one of kind experience. This year’s theme, “Vibrance: The Kaleidoscope Effect,” speaks to the different experiences, approaches, voices, and diverse beauty of our communities to create the freedom and liberation we seek. I hope you’ll join me at the conference in Atlanta!

Listen to Second Sunday

This podcast explores the stories of Black queer people navigating complex relationships with The Black Church. The Church is a nostalgic pillar of the Black community but it’s also been the source of pain and ostracization for many.

It’s a second look at a topic that feels increasingly dismissed and minimized. It’s Second Sunday.
