Who We Are
Our Mission
Black Queer Everything invests in the next generation of scholars, activists, and artists working toward Black liberation. We privilege queer voices as leaders in the pursuit of social and cultural transformation.
Our mission is to cultivate opportunities for the development of innovative research, humanities-centered collaborative projects, and transformative pedagogies and curricula that focus on racism, inequality, and injustice to engender thriving communities.
Our History
Black Queer Everything is the fruition of Black, queer, freedom-dreaming conversations held between Drs. Moya Bailey and Anika Simpson. Those conversations were given life through an incredible gift of incubator funding by Morgan State University’s Center for Religion and Cities, aka The Dream Machine. Black Queer Everything is now fully established through the generous award from the Mellon Foundation’s inaugural Higher Learning grant.
