YMSM Panel Presentation
As In Our Own Voices, Inc. celebrates our 25th year of strengthening and empowering LGBTQIA+ BIPOC communities, we’re so proud to announce that the next Unity Through Diversity: The Power of Unity National Health Conference will be held in-person from October 25 to October 29, 2023 at the Hilton in Albany, New York!
Join us and a diverse group of folks from across the nation as we work to promote social justice, healthy sexuality, inclusive, safer & braver spaces, and holistic wellness in LGBTQIA+ Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) communities.
In 2008, In Our Own Voices, Inc. hosted our first LGBTQIA+ Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (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 LGBTQIA+ 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 LGBTQIA+ BIPOC communities, while promoting social justice, healthy sexuality, violence-free living, social activism, and safer spaces.
In honor of In Our Own Voices’ 25th anniversary this year, we’re excited to offer students and young adults under 30 a special reduced registration rate of just $25! In addition, a limited number of full and partial scholarships are available to cover the costs of attending the Health Conference including hotel, registration, and travel. Scholarship applications will be accepted on a rolling basis!
