Melanin Vybz (LGBTQ+ BPOC 50+ Meetup)
About the event
A monthly group for LGBTQ+ Black people and people of colour over 50. **Melanin**<strong><strong>
</strong></strong>**Vybz**<strong><strong> is a progressive social
meetup group for 50+ Black LGBTQ+ elders. </strong></strong>
The meetup group brings together elders to foster connection, community,
and mutual support. Our continued focus is to raise awareness about
loneliness and isolation among our elders in our communities and also
actively address it.
With our events calendar which includes guest speakers, walks, talks,
storytelling, film and more, we aim to create welcoming spaces for
meaningful conversation, shared learning, and authentic friendships.
Whether you’re seeking companionship, personal growth, or a supportive
network, this group offers a place to be seen, heard and valued, also,
feel connected in community.
