About Us

Ebony Pride of San Diego provides visibility to the African American Lesbian, Gay, Transgender and Bisexual community of San Diego. It's purpose is to be a visible and positive force through enrichment, empowerment and education. We're a unifying organization that fights discrimination for people who experience it on two levels: as a black person in America and the larger LGBT community, and as an LGBT person in America and the African American community.

Most important of all, we give visibility to the African American LGBT community. We help those sisters and brothers who still find themselves in the closet. We let them know that it is okay to be themselves. We show that there is a community out there, and a support network. We also demonstrate to all of San Diego (and the world) the diversity of the LGBT community. We give LGBT people of color a sense of identity, respect and empowerment.

We do this by engaging in a variety of activites throughout the year:

The Ebony Pride Festival.
Ebby Awards.
Film Festival.
Other activities.

Staff

Ebony Pride is run by an incredible group of dedicated people. We work hard together, and play hard. We're more than just volunteers . . . we're family. We work together as a team, and we support each other. Through our teamwork, and the community as a whole, we make Ebony Pride of San Diego a success!

Our organization is comprised of members who help run, manage, and shape the future of the organization. These members volunteer their time and talents to make Ebony Pride the best it can be, and help run our various events throughout the year.

A few of these members are also on the board of directors. The board runs and manages the overall orgazniation, and makes sure that it is meeting the needs of the community. To see the current board of directors, click here.

And most importantly, our organization is nothing without the countless volunteers that help us throughout the year. These are folks who participate in various functions in our festival and other activities. Without their tireless efforts, our events would not succeed.
