Black and Bold: RVA's Unsung Black LGBTQ Community Gala

Black and Bold is a grassroots effort to offer the RVA community an opportunity to celebrate and commemorate everyday out and bold Black LGBTQ individuals. We believe this recognition is critical to creating more awareness about the contributions of Black LGBTQ persons in the Richmond community. We also believe the grassroots nature of this project is significant as the selection process for this honor was by self-disclosure and we established no rigorous criteria as we believe each of us makes bold contributions every day simply by proudly living our lives.
