Notes

"The Black Queer and Trans Community is beautiful, diverse, and full of power. There are many factors in this world that often cause our power to be siloed, or worse, it is often hidden. However, together we make a tapestry of power that changes this world in ways that only we can."

"Black Queer Power is a brand created to harness, promote, and galvanize that power in an effort to promote change making efforts and to support the work of Black Queer and Trans Creatives and Entrepreneurs. BQP offers community based organizations the opportunity to benefit from the buying power of the very communities they support. Through apparel and product lines that celebrate us and boldly make a statement to the world, BQP provides a viable fundraising mechanism for selected beneficiaries without the tedious costs of inventory, shipping, or e-commerce infrastructure.

Notes

"Queer Appalachia is an artist collective. Anyone is welcome at our table regardless of addiction status, mental health, socioeconomic status, identity, race or how "out" you are. When we use hashtags like #nooneisdisposable, it's not marketing or branding. We invite anyone to work along side us. For far too long, depictions of these regions have been white-washed and have made invisible the communities of color that live and struggle alongside us. We acknowledge the necessity for our work to not emulate these patterns and seek that both the project and its contributors accurately and appropriately reflect our diverse community."
Projects and Efforts Include: Harm Reduction; Transformative Justice; 'Electric Dirt' (magazine celebrating Queer voices and identities from Appalachia and the South); Community SOS & Rapid Response Funding; monthly Spotify playlist. Continuously evolving, so check website for new projects and efforts.
