NBJC

The 100 Black LGBTQ/SGL Emerging Leaders to Watch campaign is a component of the NBJC's Black LGBTQ/SGL Emerging Leaders Initiative. This initiative provides a platform for young rising stars (ages 18-30) to elevate and address the concerns of Black LGBTQ/SGL young adults, share best practices, and have a seat at the table. #100toWatch cohort members will be mentored by seasoned advocates and elders, and be supported while leading! The Emerging Leader perspective is critical to shaping policies for the future. Their active involvement is essential to help grow the leadership pipeline necessary to sustain a vibrant and impactful LGBTQ/SGL equality movement rooted in racial justice. NBJC's Emerging Leaders are exposed to opportunities such as educating key policy makers and influencers on Black LGBTQ/SGL priority issues, and learning the fundamentals of how our democracy works when you OWN YOUR POWER!
