Notes

"The Black Stripe represents the cooperative effort of Same Gender Loving (SGL) "Queers": Lesbians, Gay men, Bisexuals and Transgendered people of African Descent. It was inspired by discussions on GLBPOC and Sistahnet.
As gays and lesbians of African Descent, we claim and are claimed by two communities--the black community and the gay community. Neither community fully accepts, appreciates or understands us."

"If you're a member of the (heterosexual) black community or the (white) gay community, or any other community, welcome. Explore, experience and learn. If you're a same gender loving person of African Descent; welcome home."

The site is somewhat dated, but includes links to useful resources, including articles, film and movie lists, notable individuals, and discussion boards.

Notes

Wellness organization dedicated to diversity and inclusion; offer ebooks and workbooks featuring insights from wellness experts and community events; experiences, including on- and off-line events; programming and curation for corporate and organizational training; diversity and inclusion workshops.
"CULTIVATING SPACE, COMMUNITY, CONVERSATIONS AND CHANGE FOR A MORE EQUITABLE AND ACCESSIBLE WELLNESS INDUSTRY."
"In 2019 we made the transition to only use imagery that reflected the identity of our members — BIPOC, LGBTQA+, and differently bodied people. But representation in media is more than just imagery; it's about providing the opportunity to tell their own stories by amplifying their messages. So we started two new feature series on holisticism — a monthly colun with Jordi (a community member of DIW), and a monthly feature on BIPOC or LGBTQA+ healer/practitioner. We instituted a company-wide inclusion rider, meaning if we are ever invited to an opportunity to be a speaker, podcast host, subject of a fewature, etc., an equal or higher value opportunity must be pitched to a BIPOC or LGBTQIA+ wellness expert, too. We also launched a scholarship and support series for all people who cannot afford our monthly membership."
