I like the direction this one is heading.
I like the big bow on her swimsuit most of all. Still a few too many different font sizes, though, boldly mixing serif and san serif.

Here we go, humping disco balls againPosted by admin in Bars, Events, Gay Design Disasters, PartiesI might have liked to go to this party, though. Let’s hope there are some gems!
My mentor and teacher, Lambda Literary Award winner Sharon Bridgforth, will be performing in NYC. Included in the event will be a video that Sharon and I made as part of the preparations for her staged version of “love conjure/blues.” The video features Laurie Carlos, Omi Osum/Dr. Joni L. Jones and of course Sharon. I can’t wait to see it, and I hope you will attend the performance, too.

S.O.S. Collective’s Safe Neighborhood Campaign,Posted by admin in Arts/Politics, Events, Partieshttp://alp.org/whatwedo/organizing/sos/2009_summit The Safe OUTside the System Collective of the Audre Lorde Project is proud to host the Second Annual Safe Neighborhood Summit, the most significant annual event for the S.O.S. Collective’s Safe Neighborhood Campaign, which works directly with the local community to prevent and intervene in anti-LGBTSTGNC violence without relying on the police. Last year’s Safe Neighborhood Summit inspired and educate over 80 Central Brooklyn Community members on how to prevent and intervene in violence with free workshops, performances, and speakers. We hope to continue the tradition this year. On April 25th, 2009 the Safe OUTside the System Collective, the anti-violence initiative of the Audre Lorde Project, will be hosting a Safe Neighborhood Summit to highlight and expand the measurable gains the Safe Neighborhood Campaign has achieved since its inception last year. Since 2005 the S.O.S. Collective has developed strategies to reduce violence against our community members without relying on law enforcement. Recognizing our own experiences of police brutality and the experiences of our family members and allies, we use community-based alternatives to law enforcement to prevent and intervene in violence. We created the Safe Neighborhood Campaign to address an increasing amount of harassment and violence that our community members are facing. Though we’re always seeking new Safe Spaces, we’re very proud of the organizations, businesses, faith based institutions, and schools who have designated their institutions as Safe Spaces, which pledge to intervene in and prevent anti-LGBTSTGNC harassment or violence on their premises. Some Safe Spaces have also agreed to be Safe Havens that provide sanctuary to community members escaping violence. Each of the current Safe Spaces and Safe Havens is one measurable step nearer to the achievable dream of a violence-free community, and we are very grateful for their participation. The summit, our effort to showcase and expand the Safe Neighborhood Campaign, will include speakers, workshops on preventing violence and challenging police violence, and community strategy sessions. This summit will be a place where community leaders will gather to take a stand against violence against LGBTSTGNC (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Two-Spirit, Trans, and Gender Non-Conforming) People of Color, with LGBTSTGNC community members. We invite you to join in remembering all who have survived and those we’ve lost to violence in our communities, and strategize on how to prevent future violence. After the summit, we will continue to work collaboratively with the Safe Spaces on how to prevent and intervene in anti-LGBTSTGNC violence without relying on law enforcement.
