Black Queer History and Building Community Wellness

As part of Black Futures Month we are pleased to welcome Veronica McKenzie to Bayes for what promises to be an informative and insightful session.

This talk will highlight selected actions and interventions from black queer history, to see what we can learn about building community wellness, from a black queer perspective.
