Have you filled out our poll? 📈📊 Here is why you should!! 🖊️ There is no data in the state of Louisiana on Lesbians of Color. If we are not counted, then the rest of society will continue to ignore our existence.

By proving our existence through data, we will then be able to funnel resources into our community. WE NEED TO BE COUNTED! ✊🏾🌈✨ Click the link in our bio to take our survey today! 🖤

We will be here Saturday! Come check us out! 🖤🌈✊🏾💃🏽💖✨ #JusticeForAll #LGBTQ+ #Empowerment #CommunityHealing #Bipoc #LGBTQ+Equality #blacklesbianactivist ���#LesbiansOfColor #LGBTQMovement #POCLGBTQ #QueerWomenOfColor #RepresentationMatters #InclusiveFeminism

Ultimate goal: is to establish a full service clinic that will cater to all the needs of Lesbians of color. 🌈💖✊🏾 #LesbiansOfColorMovement #LesbiansOfColorLetsBeCounted
