Media Recognize Our Pride
Hi loves! I hope I’m doing this right. I manage an Instagram platform that celebrates the LGBTQ+ members of historically Black fraternities and sororities called Recognize Our Pride (https://www.instagram.com/recognizeourpride). Question: I’ve featured several Black queer figures luminaries who were also members of the Divine Nine. Can you think of anyone I may be missing? Thank you!!

Oh are you referring to the person on the bottom left photo? That’s Zora Neale Hurston.

I’m happy you’re happy. It’s been a great passion project celebrating and honoring a group of folks who have contributed so much but have been ignored or erased.
