As part of Queens Museum’s Year of Uncertainty, the Caribbean Equality Project’s Live Pridefully: Love and Resilience within Pandemics reimagines and affirms undocumented Black and Brown Caribbean LGBTQ+ immigrants and asylum seekers as essential workers, creatives, and contributors to the cultural diversity of New York City.

The program will include a book reading of the acclaimed writer Rajiv Mohabir featured in Live Pridefully, a panel discussion with the exhibit’s trans rights and gender justice activists Qween Jean, Rohan Zhou-Lee, Darren J. Glenn, Tannuja Rozario, Theo Brown, and Tiffany Jade Munroe, cultural dance performances, and a guided exhibition tour by curator Mohamed Q. Amin.

Caribbean Equality Project (CEP) is a Queens, New York-based 501(c)3 non-profit organization that empowers, strengthens, and represents the marginalized voices of black and brown, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, gender non-conforming, and queer+ people of Caribbean origin and descent in the greater New York City area. The Caribbean Equality Project’s mission is to serve the local LGBTQ+ Caribbean population through advocacy, community organizing, education, cultural, and social programming. Since being founded in 2015, by Mohamed Q. Amin in response to anti-LGBTQ+ hate violence in Richmond Hill, CEP has been the only education-based agency serving the Caribbean-American LGBTQ+ immigrant community in the greater New York City area and acts as a liaison between our most vulnerable community members and government agencies and elected officials.
