SUMMARY:Dope Black Queers: The Forum
DESCRIPTION:Join us for The Forum x BQC Groups – a special collaboration between Dope Black Queers and Black Queers Connect! We’re excited to co-host this month’s forum with Black Queers Connect on the topic of Mourning Tradition. Come\, meet new people\, build a community\, and share your perspective. \nWhether you feel it has been purposefully eradicated\, a consequence of not being practiced enough\, or even something that feels at odds with your identity. How do we reckon with that\, and in what ways can we make space for ourselves in those traditions? \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. Our 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. Whilst participation is encouraged\, no one has to share if they don’t want to. But the more interaction\, the more there is to learn. \nEventh highlights: \n\nGames\, open discussions\, connection and grounding\nFacilitators: Quamina + Chloe (DBQ) & Nic Farmer (BQC)\nSafer Space Holder: Julie-Anne Ntege will be present to offer support throughout the event.\n\nThis event is exclusively for Black LGBTQIA+ folks. (Allies can support by donating.) \nAbout Dope Black Queers (DBQ): Dope Black Queers is a space created by and for the Black LGBTQIA+ community to foster grounding\, connection\, and visibility. The Forum follows a Town Hall-style format — less like a panel\, more like an open discussion where every voice matters. \nAbout Black Queers Connect (BQC): Black Queers Connect empowers Black LGBTQ+ adults in the UK by creating inclusive spaces for connection and support. Through online and in-person Black Queer Connect Groups\,  events and resource-sharing\, BQC nurtures spaces where Black queer individuals can be seen\, centred\, and uplifted. \nAffordable teas & coffees are available for purchase on-site. \nAccessibility Info: Everything is on one level with no stairs to entrance. However bathroom is not wheelchair accessible\, but we have 2 locations near by (both 2 mins away) that are available for use. Can find full accessibility info here. \nPlease contact us for any other accessibility queries/questions x dopeblackqueers@gmail.com \nFind us on Instagram\, Threads\, Twitter\, and Facebook \n\n\n\n\n🌈Black Queer Connect Groups – House Rules \nHelp us reach our goal of building a supportive space\, one where people feel respected and heard\, please abide by these House Rules: \n\nNo Shaming: We’re here to uplift and support each other—no judgment or shaming.\nRespect Boundaries: Be mindful of others’ boundaries.

SUMMARY:Fat Liberation Book Club
DESCRIPTION:A book club that celebrates Fat Liberation politics\, ideas and activism in a safer space. \nWe’re back for Book Club! This will be a monthly occurrence with regular breaks so there’s plenty of time to read the source material before coming along to an accessible\, safe discussion with fellow fats and fat allies. If you’re new to fat liberation\, curious about what it is or looking to see how it differs from body positivity\, this is the place for you. \nWe’ll be exploring a mix of non-fiction\, fiction\, poetry\, comic books and everything in between\, with supplementary material from fat academics\, essayists\, TikTokkers\, podcasters and more. \nFor this month’s Book Club we’re looking at Fearing the Black Body: The Racial Origins of Fatphobia by Sabrina Strings. \nGrab your copy here. \nWe are switching it back to non-fiction for April\, a great opportunity for us to build on our understanding of the ways race and fatness intersect. This insightful book will take us into the past for an eye-opening and in-depth observation on the history of anti-fatness\, anti-blackness and gender prejudice. \nThis is quite a dense text and expect this Book Club to be saturated with valuable and necessary discussion that we want to make sure we leave enough time for. So we’ve split it into two parts. We’ll be looking at Chapters 1-4 for this month\, and May’s Book Club will look at Chapters 5-9\, finishing the tome. \nFrom Goodreads: \n‘Sociologist Strings (sociology\, Univ. of California\, Irvine) explores the historical development of pro-thin\, anti-fat ideologies deployed in support of Western\, patriarchal white supremacy. Beginning in the aesthetic ideals circulated by Renaissance thinkers and artists and bringing her narrative up into the 1990s\, Strings charts how white Europeans and Anglo-Americans developed ideals of race and beauty that both explicitly and figuratively juxtaposed slim\, desirable white women against corpulent\, seemingly monstrous black women.’ \nFor information on how to obtain the audiobook version of this book\, please contact us on Insta @fatliblondon or @fatclubbtn! \nAccessibility \nThe Centre’s accessibility statement is here. \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-19 and/or mpox symptoms including headache\, fever\, sore throat\, consistent cough and chills. \nYou can wear a mask if you feel more comfortable. We also have masks and hand sanitiser available at the Centre. \nFor current information on Covid please visit the NHS website. \nDonate to the Centre \nWe rely on donations to ensure that the London LGBTQ+ Community Centre can keep its doors open for years to come. \nTo donate or become a Friend of the Centre\, visit our website.

His work explores trans masculinity\, class\, and neurodivergence through poetry\, storytelling\, and zine-making. \nSam has also worked in youth advocacy and homelessness support\, with a focus on care-led\, accessible spaces. \nHe lives with ADHD\, dyslexia\, and dyspraxia\, which informs everything he does. Whether Sam’s behind a camera or holding space in a group\, he’s interested in gentleness\, visibility\, and real connection. \nAccessibility \nThis is an informal group with prompts for inspiration which Jay will provide both written and verbally. People are free to explore their ideas or be given instruction as required. It will be a quiet space where people can take breaks as required. \nThe Centre’s accessibility statement is here. \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 unwell including headache\, fever\, sore throat\, consistent cough and chills. \nYou can wear a mask if you feel more comfortable.
