A week after Hurricane Melissa brought heartbreaking devastation to Jamaica, an incredible coalition of community partners came together in solidarity: Taslan Protective Services, The 519 Black Collective, Pride Toronto, Craig Dominic (Blaq like this), Polly Perry Events, DJ Blackcat, Blackness Yes, Bubbles Entertainment, Lounanjio Brown O’Sullivan and Black CAP united in love and purpose to support q***r & trans communities in Jamaica affected by the Hurricane.

To everyone who attended, danced, and donated, and to those who couldn’t be there in person but still gave so generously; thank you from the depths of our hearts. Your solidarity turned this effort into something truly powerful. You reminded us what community care looks like!

Your kindness will travel far beyond the dance floor helping our q***r and trans siblings rebuild, recover, and know they are never alone. Stay tuned for updates on how your support made an impact, including photos and stories from our outreach efforts in Jamaica.

With endless gratitude💛
