What places should we hit in #Cali? #BLAGRASSROOTS2020 #tour #tbt “In 1980, “Becoming Visible – The First Black Lesbian Conference” took place at the Women’s Building in San Francisco, CA. A two-day event, the conference was an outgrowth from the First National Third World Lesbian and Gay Conference by the National Coalition of Black Lesbians and Gays which was held in 1979, in Washington, DC. Although there had been previous conferences supporting both lesbians and gays, the “First Black Lesbian Conference” was the first in the United States with the mission to hold a conference with the sole focus of supporting African-Americans lesbians.[3] In the decades leading to the conference, it was not uncommon for other various organizations to push African-American lesbian women out, as a result of the lack of knowledge surrounding diversity of sexual orientation and race. In the decades leading to the conference, it was not uncommon for other various organizations to push African-American lesbian women out, as a result of the lack of knowledge surrounding diversity of sexual orientation and race. One of the conference goals was to address the wide spectrum of needs for black lesbians and “to provide the courage and strength necessary to make those needs felt in places where it becomes necessary.” Angela Davis gave the conference’s keynote address.” - @outwire757 #calilesbians #blacklesbians #lesbianwomen #blacklesbianarchives https://www.instagram.com/p/B6JIpeUFDvQ/?igshid=1t43wcx9rsf1j

Much Love to @thehostilenegress for the write up @thegeorgiavoice 📌it was good talking to ya boo “Black Lesbian Archives to document, share the story of black gay women for generations to come. Ask lesbian activist Patricia McCombs whether she saw women who lived, loved, and most importantly, looked like her growing up pre-Stonewall, and her answer is swift and firm. “Never,” said McCombs, a Chicago woman who, decades later, would play an unexpected role in changing that pattern. Her work as a party promoter and vocal lesbian rights activist earned her a spot in the Black Lesbian Archives, an Atlanta-based historical preservation project looking to document and share the story of black gay women for generations to come. Comprised of nearly 1,000 scrapbooks, audio files, videos, poems, newsletters and photos, the exhibit is an effort of Krü Maekdo, who this month kicks off a 30-stop traveling tour. Her goal: highlighting the existence of what many consider a marginalized community within a marginalized community. The tour kicks off in Atlanta, and will include a Feb. 23 showing at Charis Books and More. It will wrap up this July in Chicago, where Maekdo got her archiving start. What she’s discovered so far ranges from the everyday to the exceptional. There are magazines detailing regional black club life, and screenshots from popular underground movies. Black-lesbian-authored books and newspaper clippings, flyers, and copious pictures of black women of all ages living out and proud” #BLAGRASSROOTS2020 #blacklesbianarchives #blacklesbians #atlanta #lgbt #media https://www.instagram.com/p/B8coEG8lLKu/?igshid=19qyeeu9w38yh

#NEWEPISODE When the universe tells ya to take some time. TAKE IT. Sometimes we often miss the lesson because we are too consumed with distractions all around us. The message will fly right over your head. These past two weeks without a phone gave clarity I didn’t know I was looking for. So busy “tryna get things done” do this and do that. You look up and realize life is just passing on by. I looked up and it clicked. Wow...there’s a level of disconnect when I look around this “connected” world. Sometimes you just need a break to restore without the very things you “think” you need to see another day.. send your submissions through to blacklesbianarchives@gmail.com our #BLAGRASSROOTS2020 #blackpodcast #blacklesbian #podcast https://www.instagram.com/p/B8ceQdhFMYz/?igshid=rrqsa11qrgij

CALLING ALL HOST. Looking for host to stay with in different cities. Instead of paying for hotel stays, Airbnb’s etc. we are creating a resource list that includes safe places to stay with people in the community/allies. Compensation will be in the form of cash, donations, goods, trades, etc depending on what we agree on. Looking for space(s) to rejuvenate, maybe even a local guide and my Rooster Anubis to chill. If you interested in being a host. Feel free to drop the city, dates or DM. Thanks for your support! #BLAGRASSROOTS2020 #blacklesbians #lesbianartist #tour #lesbiantravel #lgbt https://www.instagram.com/p/B7oZFn0leFu/?igshid=1teujkpjjiqnb
