FUCK YEAH FAT DYKES

Fuck Yeah Fat Dykes is a space showcasing anything and everything that affirms, celebrates and inspires my queerness, fatness, and dykery. Dyke is not a gendered term nor is this a gendered site. The affirmation of my body is always in tandem to the affirmation of my Puertorriqueñidad.

DONATE! Support Young Black Queer Women in Chicago

qtpocchicago: CLICK ON LINK TO DONATE! SIGNAL BOOST!!!!!

This is an amazing program for Black LGBTQ women and a phenomenal organization for the Black LGBTQ community. KOKUMO who put together the first ever midwest trans, genderqueer, and intersex pride was a part of it and many other amazing individuals. Please contribute what you can or spread the word! The program will only continue if we raise $25,000 in a month!

Who is Affinity and What is the Scholars Program?

The Scholars Program is a leadership development experience for queer and transgender young women of African descent between the ages of 18 and 24. Up to four candidates receive a 10 month opportunity for training in social justice, non-profit management, and community organizing. Scholars also work on individual research projects and coordinate an annual youth summit while receiving mentorship from LGBTQ women of color and allied community leaders.

Affinity is a social justice organization that works with and on behalf of Black LGBTQ communities, queer youth, and allies to identify emergent needs, create safe spaces, develop leaders, and bridge communities through collective analysis and action for social justice, freedom, and human rights.

The Scholars Program was previously funded through a multi-year grant that has ended. Our goal for the Scholars Campaign is to raise enough funds to operate the first six months of the program while we continue to secure new foundation funding. Because of our belief in community and personal power, supporting “now leaders,” and sharing knowledge, suspending the Scholars program is not an option — for Affinity or justice movements!
