June 22, 2007 PRIDE ‘07 Celebrations<br />

Second annual<br />

<strong>Seattle</strong> Black Pride<br />

Mark your calendars for the second<br />

annual <strong>Seattle</strong> Black Pride (SBP). “This Is<br />

Why We’re Hot” is this year’s theme, and<br />

incorporates a celebration of wisdom, unity,<br />

leadership, <strong>pride</strong> and endurance within our<br />

Black GLBTQ community.<br />

Join SBP for 4 days, July 19-22, for<br />

culture, education, enlightenment and<br />

entertainment. We are celebrating with<br />

performances by the very best local and<br />

out of state talent, guest speakers/town hall<br />

discussions, educational workshops, live<br />

performances, Old School dance party and<br />

the big “This is Why We’re Hot” dance<br />

party, family barbecue and our second film<br />

festival showcasing cutting edge features<br />

and short films focused on our people of<br />

color and diversity.<br />

SBP Board President and founding<br />

member, Kiantha Duncan-Woods notes,<br />

“<strong>Seattle</strong> Black Pride gives voice to the<br />

Black GLBTQ in Washington. We are more<br />

than an annual event we are a culture; that<br />

culture is celebrated during this event.<br />

<strong>Seattle</strong> Black Pride offers the community a<br />

space to highlight and recognize<br />

the beauty and strength within<br />

our Black GLBTQ community.<br />

We are making history here in<br />

Washington and this is just the<br />

beginning.”<br />

<strong>Seattle</strong> Black Pride is a not-forprofit<br />

organization that organizes<br />

the SBP event in <strong>Seattle</strong> to<br />

commemorate and celebrate<br />

all Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and<br />

Transgender individuals and<br />

groups.<br />

SBP welcomes participation<br />

of all, regardless of race, age,<br />

creed, gender, gender identification, HIV<br />

status, national origin, physical or mental<br />

developmental ability, religion or sexual<br />

orientation.<br />

Duncan–Woods adds, “<strong>Seattle</strong> Black<br />

Pride is so much more than a party, it’s an<br />

experience. It offers a sense of belonging<br />

to the bigger picture for Black GLBTQ<br />

people”.<br />
