QWOC+ Boston is a social networking organization dedicated to increasing diversity by creating and sustaining safe spaces for LGBTQ women of color and allies in the Greater Boston area.
We've hosted numerous facilitated discussions and workshops; planned seminars and coordinated weekend conferences; produced live performance shows and exhibitions; hosted film screenings and literary readings; we're the organizers of QWOC Week, a week-long festival featuring a variety of events intended to increase visibility for LGBTQI people of color and allies, and we throw one helluva party during Boston pride.
