Topics such as politics, healthcare, religion, media representation, and

financial literacy will be discussed during this nationally broadcast,

holistic conference. The Power of Us National Convention will bring

together a vibrant mix of people to openly discuss their community

issues, strategies and implementations in order to better the overall

African- American community.

 

NBJC CEO, H. Alexander Robinson explains that "Although the conference

focuses on the needs and achievements of the Black gay community, we

also recognize that our successes, community building efforts and the

solutions to our challenges cannot be done without the support of our

families, friends and allies. We welcome input, suggestions, and the

participation of our entire community regardless of race, ethnicity,

sexual orientation or gender identity."
