Happy Brooklyn PRIDE! Four years ago, we made our inaugural debut at the annual Brooklyn Pride, Inc. Twilight Parade in Park Slope, Brooklyn. Last year, in full solidarity and support of #WorldPride, our Caribbean LGBTQ+ contingent won the Brooklyn Pride 2019 Ron B “Simply The Best” Award. It is with great pride that we can declare, that we were the only Caribbean-themed section of this Parade procession in partnership with GMAD, as we marched throughout the streets of Brooklyn in celebration of our intersectional values, Caribbean culture, and the Black & Brown Queer and Trans Caribbean immigrant community in NYC. Thank you to ALL of our PRIDEful community members and partners for being a part of our visibility and representation journey at Brooklyn PRIDE (2016-2019) Powered by: #GMAD @nycdjecho @richardp_teamxse @mrdesignsnyc @haydenreed_production @proof032000 @enjprodu . While we can’t be together in person for 2020, we will continue to fight together in spirit for Caribbean LGBTQ+ immigrant rights, justice, and equity, as ONE Caribbean community in NYC. #LivePRIDEfully #Caribbean #LGBTQ #QueerCaribbeans #NYC #Famalay #CaribbeanEqualityProject #NYSTRONG #RoadToRecovery #strongertogether #BrooklynPride2O2O (at Park Slope) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBYmX2XB7Di/?igshid=177o1garar5bz

Five years ago, we made our inaugural debut at the annual @queenspridenyc Parade in #JacksonHeights, #Queens. Here are some highlights from our 2019 #WorldPride Caribbean LGBTQ+ contingent, consisting of prideful community members, partners, and allies. While we can’t celebrate together in 2020, we will continue to fight together in spirit for Caribbean LGBTQ+ immigrant rights, justice, and equity, as ONE Caribbean community in NYC. #LivePridefully #livingpridefully #Caribbean #LGBTQ #QueerCaribbeans #CaribbeanEqualityProject #QueensPride2019 #queenspride https://www.instagram.com/p/CBQ3dgXBqTj/?igshid=1fo32p19b9ty6

HAPPY PRIDE MONTH, EVERYONE! In 2020, we can still celebrate the liberties and merriment of PRIDE, owing to the advocacy efforts of Black & Brown LGBTQ+ people protesting police brutality and discrimination against Black bodies. In 1969, two Black and Brown Trans women, Marsha P. Johnson and Silvia Rivera decided to RISE UP and take a resolute stand against homophobia, transphobia, racism, and police brutality during the Stonewall riots. This is where the Queer and Trans Liberation movement was birthed, and even during a pandemic, we are still forging ahead in the fight for LGBTQ+ equity and racial justice. What would have usually been a festive season of advocacy, Caribbean LGBTQ+ visibility, and renewed hope and pride, we are now collectively faced with one of the biggest challenges that we’ve ever encountered in this generation. Yet, we continue forward, together, on one accord as a Caribbean LGBTQ+ immigrant family towards equality and fair treatment for our most vulnerable community members. To move forward, it would be remiss of us to neglect to remember that we are all together in this fight to become unchained from the shackles of colonialism and neo-colonialism, and to break down white supremacist barriers and obstacles to our Black and Brown Caribbean intersectional growth and progress. We will also take this time to heal, open dialogue, and unshackle ourselves from the open wounds left behind by the abject disrespect and violence inflicted upon Black and Brown bodies since the colonizers uprooted us from our respective Mother Lands. We stand in solidarity against racial and gendered violence, what supremacy, state-sanctioned violence, patriarchal systems of oppression, and mass incarceration in Black communities. Thank you to our partners and allied organizations for the collective activism being done in New York City and around the world to advance the efforts of racial justice and equity in an imbalanced democracy (and whatever form your government appears in). The resistance continues, for this fight is NOT a sprint, but a marathon. And the marathon continues. #LivePridefully #Caribbean #LGBTQ #BlackLivesMatter #BlackTransLivesMatter https://www.instagram.com/p/CBBmYd1BpLq/?igshid=11jn0fkuyu1cx
