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 />
