About Global
Black Pride
Founded by GBGMC in 2020, Global Black Pride (GBP) is the first global Pride organization that brings together Black LGBTQI+ communities across all continents to celebrate culture and diversity, providing a space for activists and community-based organizations across the globe to engage and reflect.
What We Do

Based out of multiple international locations, we focus on education, major events, community support, and advocacy.

Our History TIMELINE
Creating healing spaces and nurturing ecosystems
Global Black Pride is dedicated to reimagining a world free from punitive measures and committed to building a society where Black LGBTQI+ individuals worldwide have access to essential resources—food, education, housing, healthcare, clean water, breathable air, and community safety. Our mission is steadfast; we are at the forefront, actively intervening in existing and emerging policies that perpetuate injustice. We acknowledge the profound wounds inflicted on our communities by oppressive structures. To address this, Global Black Pride focuses on creating healing spaces and nurturing ecosystems that support Black communities. These spaces are crucial for healing, thriving, and supporting system-impacted families. Global Black Pride, hosted this year in Atlanta, continues a legacy deeply intertwined with the rich, progressive history of Black and queer activism. From a small gathering of dedicated activists to a significant celebration, our journey reflects a continuous fight for the right to love, be seen, and live freely.
