Spend Baltimore Black LGBTQ+ Pride 2018! with The Center for Black Equity-Baltimore

I’m excited because in a little over 2 weeks, Baltimore will continue a long-held tradition of honoring and celebrating Black LGBTQ+ life in the city. With roots going back into the 80s, Baltimore Black Pride has served as an opportunity for all of us to come together and appreciate how far we’ve come–as a community as well as a society more broadly. Additionally, I’m excited because the Center for Black Equity gets another opportunity to bring us all together and strengthen our connections to one another. They have some great events lined up this year and I look forward to attending and seeing you there!
