“WHO DIED AND MADE YOU PRESIDENT?” is a conversation for black LGBTQ+ folks about how we have (and continue) to navigate white spaces as beings that deviate from what it means to be popular, acceptable, beautiful, funny, valuable members of society and so much more. Moderated and led by Salem Kentish. @salemwhang

This is a safe, open conversation that’s purpose is for black LGBTQ+ folks to vent with their community about the ways we have operated in these white spaces and to realize in what ways we subconsciously operate ourselves to exist and survive in the white world, whether it’s at the 9-5 or the local gay bar.

Healing and community is at the core of this event, we are here to work on demolishing colonizations programming that has affected every aspect of our life. When black LGBTQ+ people try to live our lives authentically while still being overshadowed by white society, we sometimes need to take a step back and ask “Who died and made you president?”

This is an ALL AGES event.

Donation sliding scale of $5-$15; NO ONE will be turned away for funds. The conversation itself starts at 3:00pm and roughly ends at 4:00pm. Come at 2:30 to mingle and get comfortable, event ends at 4:30 to decompress from the conversation.
Salem Kentish will be leading the conversation, DM for any questions.
