This February, TKO Society moved with the intentionality that Black liberation is built on the pillars of health equity, radical education, and unapologetic community care.

We honored National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day at Alabama State University for GLAAD’s Generation Z & HIV HBCU Tour, where Executive Director TC Caldwell joined fellow advocates to center Southern solutions.

Our monthly Schoolin’ Life Zoom session gave queer youth and college students a stigma-free space to discuss the intersections of queer youth identity and substance use harm reduction.

As we look ahead, we are reclaiming our communal spaces both digital and physical: the return of our Chat + Chew lunchtime series on Feb. 24 invites you to personalize the political from your own screen; THE BLAQOUT on Feb. 26 celebrates the brilliant constellation of Black queer lives that light our paths; and the March 14 relaunch of DIVA 2 DIVA offers a sanctuary for trans and femme-presenting individuals to celebrate their joy through makeup and wig-making.

From the campus to the community table, TKO knows that liberation is found in how we show up for each other.
