Black AND Poly Panel

Calling all BLACKITY BLACK AND Polyamorous or Consensually Nonmonogamous people!! We have a panel full of the top advocates and educators!

Do you identify as Black American or someone of the Diaspora?

Do you identify as, practice, or are curious about Polyamory and Ethical/Consensual Nonmonogamy?

For the 2nd Annual Nonmonogamy Visibility Week by OPEN (Organization for Polyamory and Ethical Nonmonogamy),

We have gathered together some of the top adovcates and educators in our community to share their wisdom, discuss the changes within our community, addresss some of the challenges within our relationships, and explore their vision for the future of being Black and Polyamorous/Nonmonogamous.

Often in polyamorous and nonmonogamous spaces AND in the media, there is a considerable lack of US. But we EXIST. This year, within this growing movement, not only did we want a seat at the table, we wanted to create our own table.
