The Rooted Collective is a liberatory gathering of Black LGBTQ people to define, dream, and expand on the ways in which we heal from oppression and practice joy and pleasure. We root our work in the knowledge that healing for all Black people is political resistance.

 

Black Same Gender Loving and LGBTQ people exist beyond borders and walls. We constantly find ways to love each other living in the midst of an oppression that attempts to silence us daily.
