SUMMARY:Dope Black Queers: The Forum
DESCRIPTION:Dope Black Queers is an space for and by the Black LGBTQIA+ community\, to provide grounding\, connection\, and to feel seen & heard. \nThe Forum follows a Town Hall Meeting format\, less like a panel\, but more of an open floor discussion. \nThis is an event where we can really talk about the things that matter to us\, to raise questions and find answers both for ourselves and for others. \nOur specific life experiences give each of us different perspectives\, and that is what we want everyone to come and share\, because it is in the specifics that we can relate and build community. \nWhilst participation is encouraged\, no one has to share if they don’t want to. \nBut the more interaction\, the more there is to learn. \nCome\, meet new people\, build a community\, and share your perspective. This month’s topic will be looking at Books and Literature. What are the stories that made you feel? Who is a writer that forces you to think? Have you felt represented by the words on a page? Which Black queer authors can you recommend? \nThis event is exclusively for the Black LGBTQIA+ community! (Allies are welcome to donate to help continue our work.) \nComplimentary cakes provided. Affordable teas and coffees are available for purchase on-site. \nCovid safety at the London LGBTQ+ Community Centre: \nTo keep our community safe\, we ask that all visitors do not visit the centre if they are feeling any Covid symptoms including headache\, fever\, sore throat\, consistent cough and chills. \nYou can wear a mask if you feel more comfortable.

Our immersive experiences go beyond relaxation—it’s about empowerment\, wellness\, and forging meaningful connections. \nOur vision is for queer people of colour to see the outdoors as a space where we belong. A Natural England study found that White people are 70% more likely than Black and Asian people to spend time in the countryside. We want to change this. We deserve to reap the benefits of improved emotional well-being and physical health too. \nWe believe creativity and nature go hand in hand\, which is why most of our events encourage you to embrace nature and your inner creative spirit.
