At the Rise Up: Black LGBTQ People Winning Network Gathering, we will convene Black LGBTQ "winners who are helping others win" to advance our National Strategy for Black Gay Youth in America. We will share organizing values and strategies across our many different areas of expertise, create media together, and grow the connections we need to thrive as an LGBTQ people of color movement. The Rise Up Network Gathering will bring together the powerful network of Black LGBTQ community leaders who have been profiled through our online publication, Frankie Magazine. These individuals have been recognized for their constant work to lift up other Black LGBTQ people to transcend competition with one another and work towards our mutual advancement. This network gathering is open to our current network and those interested in joining the movement.
