The We Got Mad Skills: Community Skillshare is a space where we can claim: WE ARE THE EXPERTS. It’s an action-orientated, free space where LGBTSTGNCSGL People of Color can connect with our communities through the exchange of skills and foster community-based solutions. We are empowering ourselves by taking the initiative to educate ourselves and learn from the vast array of skills that we hold in our communities.
Co-sponsored with: African Ancestral Lesbians United For Social Change (AALUSC); Latinos/as Unidas de New York (LUNY)
** We appreciate the support and solidarity of all our allies, and respecfully request that We Got Mad Skills be a People of Color space.

What is a skillshare?
A skillshare is a space where we can claim: WE ARE THE EXPERTS. It’s an action-orientated, free space where LGBTSTGNCSGL People of Color can connect with our communities through the exchange of skills and foster community-based solutions. We are empowering ourselves by taking the initiative to educate ourselves and learn from the vast array of skills that we hold in our communities.
We believe that all Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Two-Spirit, Trans, Gender Non-Conforming, and Same-Gender Loving People Of Color need a space where we can build our skill-set, access information/education, and continue to further our self-determination. We believe that everyone has skills to share.
** Unfortunately due to a staffing emergency, we are unable to offer child care at this event. We deeply apologize how this may impact our community.**
