3 DAYS!

💙 The 2nd Annual SLCY Fundraiser & Showcase is four days away, and today we’re celebrating a movement rooted in community, culture, and youth leadership. ✨ Meet the Southern Kiki Leaders Collective (SKLC): 🪩 Youth Leadership SKLC is a grassroots youth leadership pipeline designed to empower Black, LGBTQIA2S+, and gender-expansive young people across the South, centering the kiki ballroom community. 🩹 Community Health & Advocacy Through culturally relevant sexual health advocacy, SKLC expands access to HIV and STI self-testing, PrEP and PEP navigation, and sexual health education. 📖 Legal Education Young leaders build legal literacy through workshops and clinics covering issues like name and gender marker changes and housing rights. 💼 Workforce Development SKLC creates pathways for young people through job-readiness opportunities and peer leadership fellowships, helping young people build skills while stepping into leadership in their communities. And at the heart of it all is community. SKLC creates spaces where young people can connect, learn, lead, and experience joy while building a future on their own terms. ❤️‍🔥 That’s what we’re coming together to celebrate on September 10. Not just the work, but the young people leading the way. Can’t make it to the fundraiser? You can still donate toward our $25,000 goal! All proceeds help SLCY invest in youth leadership, community health, legal empowerment. Thank you for supporting our youth. 💙 🔗 slcy.org/fundraiser Slide 3 📸 @angelicmemoirs #SLCY #SouthernKikiLeadersCollective #SKLC #YouthLeadership #SupportYouth
