Blaque/OUT Magazine is starting this new year by honoring some of the brightest spots of last year! Join us in celebrating these incredible members of our international Black & Brown, Q***r & Trans communities around the globe. We believe in giving everyone their flowers tuh-day! We asked our readers for nominations of the people, events and organizations who changed lives and created change through-out 2023 with their voices, their work, their visibility and authenticity. And ya'll CAME THRU!

We did try to reach out to all of our awardees to give them a heads-up and make sure we could tag them (if you didn't see it, check ur email and/or inboxes) and some folks sent us dope quotes and pics, the rest we grabbed from wherever we could find 'em. Hopefully we can tag ya'll but social media can get a lil glitchy so if you see someone you know, make sure you tag 'em for us

Save this and play in the morning and at night. These affirmations were a game changer for my healing process. As an artist and content creator….I am understanding that i am on the cusp of something with these healing mediations/affirmations + music. No I’m not a therapist or mental health professional, I’m just a artist who found the courage to write their story 🫶🏽 Save this sound or share with someone who needs it.

At 80, Gayle Freeland is struggling to keep a roof over her
head.
The retired welder said her Social Security check only allows
her to rent a motel room, at most, for two weeks, and then she
is on the street trying to find a doorway or some other place
to sleep.
That’s why Ms. Freeland was grateful to learn that she could
find a warm space to spend the night at the newly opened RVA
Sister’s Keeper shelter at 2807 Hull St. The South Side location
was formerly the New Pathways counseling center.
Ms. Freeland was among the early arrivals at the 40-bed shelter
for women and women with children that partners Kia Player,
a licensed therapist, and Gerri Archer, a real estate agent, have
opened, with a promise of city financial support.
“We just wanted to help people,” Ms. Archer said. The shelter
provides cots to sleep on and provides guests with two meals
and counseling to assist in getting them off the street. Read the entire story by our staff writer Jeremy Lazarus: http://m.richmondfreepress.com/news/2022/nov/17/2-city-supported-shelters-temporarily-open-homeles/ or pick up this week’s edition. Photo by Jeremy Lazarus/ Richmond Free Press.
