Bi Talks: Bi PoC
Event Information
About this Event
Bi People of Colour are a key, important part of the Bi community, and yet are often under represented and under supported. According to a 2015 survey by Bi’s of Colour, 68% of Bi PoC had experienced negative responses or experiences for their identity.
Join us for a panel featuring some amazing Bi PoC activists. This will be a great experience to learn more about the specific issues concerning Bi PoC, to share experiences, to uplift one and another, and to ask questions during our Q&A session at the end of the session.
