Watch Anna At Chicago Pride 2024

Family, I had a ball MC’ing the Sidetrack The Video Bar float in this years Chicago Pride Parade. We are so beautifully & wonderfully made & I got to see it up close & personal!

My final spot of the day had to be Chicago Urban Pride Biggest LGBTQ Events. Ion how Trina Truluv Robinson & Deonte Pennington do it. They continue to cultivate these spaces for Black LGBTQ folks & there was a so much love in Jackson Park. This Pride was one for the books.

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.
