Speaking Up was an invitation-only event that gathered advocates for queer people of colour who have demonstrated a commitment to improving the health and well-being of the QPOC community.
The event created an intentional space for those who self-identify as a queer person of colour – a safe place where participants were able to share their experiences and truths. The purpose was to envision the future of health for queer people of colour in BC with facilitated discussions and open dialogue on issues and priorities with accessing health services, and challenges and opportunities in community building and engagement. The role of race in navigating queer spaces and health services was a thread throughout this discussion.
