Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

✨ Thanks to Sampson for your professionalism, preparation, and on-the-fly work “behind the scenes” (aka via Zoom direct message) during the show. You are the man, and the vibe. ✨ Thanks to each of the writers for sharing yourself, your time and your work with us; and out into the cosmic chorus of Black expressionism that was Black Voices In Conversation. ✨ Thanks to Joe Hawkins and the Oakland LGBTQ Center for your partnership with ItsQwere since we started in 2018. ✨ Thanks to Josh Silverman for your timeless hours of visionary design consulting; the ItsQwere promotional aesthetic is so magnetic with your collaboration and it keeps getting better. ✨ To everyone who bought a ticket, promoted on social media, shared the deets with someone you love: thank you. Through your support, we recognize the interest in community centered around the experiences of queer Black, Indigenous, and people of color folks, and we’ll continue seeking new ways to engage and uplift BIPOC humans shining under the LGBTQ spectrum.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. ✨
