A platform that centres the voices and experiences of African/black WLW ⚢ women-loving-women (LBQ/Zami/Amazons/Da-icks) here on CH. We know there are many rainbow groups already and none yet that bring the women together. So L’Ilu Birin is a platform to do just that. We meet as community together to share our stories, hang out, network and share wellness resources. If you are a woman/womxn, and you love women/womxn, this is home.
We are particularly concerned with stories of survival and thriving as alphabet mafia🏳️🌈 women on the African continent and in the African diaspora. Consider this a space for the seasoned sapphics to respectfully and consentingly mingle with the youngins and vice versa.
Once a week we shall host a discussion group for parents and caregivers of African LGBTQ+ youth who want to figure out how to support and love their children and siblings unconditionally.
Given this club centres the voices & experiences of African & Black women-loving-women, we privilege LBQ women speakers on the stage. Welcome!
