Wednesday, June 14, 2023 - 6:00PM to 8:00PM EST
Join them for "Pride: No Prejudice: A BIPOC Pride Month Celebration," proudly presented by WHYY News and N.I.C.E.
This special event is crafted as a platform for queer BIPOC musicians from across New Jersey, Greater Philadelphia, and Delaware. Our goal? To highlight and celebrate the astounding talent within our community.
Happening at the intersection of Pride Month and Juneteenth, our celebration aims to accentuate our region’s deep and vibrant culture, inspired by the rich history of artistic expression and community building by notable figures like New Jersey native Marsha P. Johnson, Chester County-born community organizer Bayard Rustin, and author James Baldwin.
We believe in the power of perspectives, and through this event, we wish to give queer BIPOC artists the stage to share their voices.
Hosted by WHYY News' Tennyson Donyea, with vibes by DJ Poetik Selektions, the showcase will also include a segment dedicated to hearing your thoughts on news media coverage of LGBTQ+ issues.
Good eats provided by Camden’s Corinne’s Place, an award-winning soul food restaurant.
Come, be part of this celebration of Pride without Prejudice, where music, community, and culture converge!

Often overlooked, the LGBTQIA+ community frequently experiences higher incidences of domestic and sexual violence. Recent studies reveal that lesbian and gay individuals report a higher prevalence of abuse, including rape, physical violence, and/or stalking by an intimate partner compared to heterosexuals. People who are transgender experience disproportionate rates of violence and homicide, particularly transgender people of color.
They will begin by providing a boxed meal to all in-person attendees from 5:00 - 5:30 pm. Then, we are honored to begin the conversations with the following guest speakers.
1) Ashante Taylorcox, President and Founder of You Are More Than.
2) Dr. Jamie Washington, President and Founder of Washington Consulting Group , Campus Pride Board Member and Board Chair for Many Voices, a Black Church Movement for LGBTQIA + People.
3) Bianca Mayes , Director of Health Equity at Planned Parenthood.
