Unity Through Diversity: The Power of Unity is our biennial health, wellness, and capacity-building conference for LGBTQ+ Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) communities. Hosted locally in Albany, NY, Unity Through Diversity offers participants the chance to enjoy workshops, panel presentations, and keynotes by activists and scholars from across the nation!
About
In 2008, In Our Own Voices, Inc. hosted our first LGBTQ+ BIPOC Health Summit. That year, over 150 scholars, administrators, activists, and students gathered to reflect on the status of health and wellness, substance use, spirituality, and political advocacy within the LGBTQ+ BIPOC community. By 2011, this statewide summit grew into a national conference: Unity Through Diversity: The Power of Unity! The purpose of our Health Conference is to lift up the voices of LGBTQ+ BIPOC communities, while promoting social justice, healthy sexuality, violence-free living, social activism, and safer spaces.
