This is not your run-of-the-mill Pride. ABP, now officially a nonprofit, kicked off in 2016 to better represent, celebrate, and empower Austin’s blaqueers. And, as they continue to grow, that’s exactly what they continue to do. From their signature Austin Black Pride Weekend to their near-monthly events, ABP doesn’t just throw a damn good party (though they definitely do); they also host art shows, brunches, book groups, and panel discussions on living at the intersection of black and queer to better showcase and support Austin’s thriving black LGBTQ community.
