Bridging the gap: Dinner Convo w Straight Black Men x Trans WOC
2022-08-06 18:00 - 21:00 (America/New_York) | tbd, Tbd, Boston, MA, 02125, United States
Black men and Trans women of Color are coming together to have a dinner and conversation to bridge the gap through dialogue.

BMEN Foundation partners with the Transgender Emergency fund to put together an event that highlights connection and dialogue between black men and Trans women of color. The event will consist of dinner, icebreakers, small group conversation, and mythbusting. The goal of the event is for individuals to walk away with awareness and understanding of the issues that prevent open coexistence within our communities. We are also accepting organizational sponsors.

For any inquiries or questions please feel free to reach out to transgenderemergencyfundinc@yahoo.com or info@bmenfoundation.org
