Black Femme Brunch

Black Femme Brunch builds community by being a radical, irreverent, and unapologetic celebration of trans and queer black femmes of all genders. Founded in 2014 in Washington, DC by Tuere Khanyisa and Shaan Wade, Black Femme Brunch began with a simple idea: to create an oasis for black femmes in the desert of white queer events, black straight spaces and cis-heteronormative LGBT events. Under the stewardship of current creative co-directors, Tuere Khanyisa and Janae Williams (juh weems), since 2015, Black Femme Brunch has curated an Annual DC Black Pride Concert, hosted kink and sexual health events, artbuilds, film screenings, parties and picnics amongst other rich offerings. Black Femme Brunch has been featured on podcasts, The Read and the Black Joy Mixtape and in the Collective Action for Safe Spaces DC Communal Care against COVID zine, Black Femme Brunch has collaborated with Blk in Space, Halcyon Arts Lab, BYP100DC, BLMDC and Woolly Mammoth Theatre. BFB has presented at the International Mx. Leather & Bootblack Conference, Common Field Annual Convening and at the Inaugural Black Sex Workers Conference. Black Femme Brunch will continue until the entire world is Black Femme Euphoria!
