Melanated Health Forum

The Melanated Health Forum is a space designed for adult LGBTQ+, Black folx to discuss issues that impact the conditions and environments where we are born, live, learn, work, play, worship, and more. These topics have real impacts on our health and our ability to thrive. It is packed with transformative, real conversations and discussions from professionals who also identify as Black and in the LGBTQ+ community. Lunch is available and free for the first 60 people to register.

At the intersection of being both LGBTQ+ and Black, our community gets talked about quite a bit. And, there are often conversations about us, and sometimes for us, but often not by us. Come join us for this one-of-a-kind event with the support of our community partners where you will also meet some other great members in the Black, LGBTQ+ community.
