WHY THIS SUMMIT IS CRITICAL NOW

DISCRIMINATION

This summit is the first of its kind, providing a dedicated platform to promote the health and wellness of Black Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender men. We recognize the urgent need for this focused effort, particularly in the face of current challenges and political attacks on the rights and well being of the Black LGBTQ+ community

POLITICAL ATTACKS

Recent legislative efforts in several states have specifically targeted the rights of transgender individuals, creating a hostile and dangerous environment for Black transgender men.

HEALTH DISPARITIES

Black GBT men experience alarming health disparities, including higher rates of HIV/AIDS, increased risk of mental health conditions, and limited access to culturally competent healthcare.
