Blockorama/Blackness Yes!
Welcome to Blockorama
Blockorama and Blockobana are two events organized by Blackness Yes!, a volunteer collective made up of professional DJs, stage and visual artists, community organizers, healthcare practitioners and activists.
We have a 21-year history of building and sustaining safe spaces for African, Black and Caribbean (ABC) LGBTQ communities through art, music, AIDS awareness and outreach.
