The T Lounge is here and we are ready to vibe. Powered by and .djpc, in partnership with , , , , and Transition Atlanta, this virtual space was created for trans men, trans women, and nonbinary folks who want a place to connect, breathe, and just be themselves.

Think of it like a weekly kickback where you can talk about life, gender, joy, wellness, dating, transition, and anything else that is on your heart. No pressure. No judgment. Just community that gets you.

A lot of us do not have local spaces where we can show up fully as ourselves, so we created one you can join from anywhere. If you want connection, laughter, support, and a space where everyone affirms who you are, this is your spot.

Come hang out with us. Scan the QR to register or find the link in our bio.

Meet The Uncaged, our new virtual group for LGBTQ+ people who are justice involved. Powered by and .djpc, in partnership with , , , , and Transition Atlanta, this space was built for real conversations and real support.

If you are inside, recently released, navigating probation or parole, or rebuilding your life one step at a time, this group is for you. We talk about reentry, access to care, housing, community, wellness, relationships, and what it feels like to start over while staying true to yourself.

This is a judgment free zone. We center harm reduction, dignity, and real life experiences. Most importantly, you get to be around people who understand the journey and hype you up along the way. So pull up from wherever you are. You deserve community.

We’re so excited to welcome Dr. Christy Perez (also known as C. Dreams) to the Inclusive Recovery Athens team as our new Community Engagement Specialist for Virtual Programs.

Dr. Perez is a theologian, historian, and abolitionist whose work stretches from prison cells to policy tables. She has dedicated her life to building a world where everyone has space to belong and be seen. As the first tr*******al woman admitted for study with the Third Order of Carmelites, she brings a unique mix of faith, knowledge, and strategy to every space she enters.

Her writing has been featured in The Appeal, Business Insider, Salon, HuffPost, and LGBTQ Nation, always with the goal of exposing harm and creating real solutions. She currently serves as a Community Advisor at Emory University, is a Columbia University fellow, and was named Grand Marshal for Atlanta Pride 2025.

We can’t wait to see how she expands access and helps remove barriers to recovery, healing, and community support across the country.

We are excited to share that Omar Phillips is stepping into a new role as Peer Services Specialist with Inclusive Recovery Athens. This is a well-earned step in his journey and a powerful moment for our program as we continue growing and reaching more people who need connection and support in recovery.

Omar has already made a real impact at Acceptance Recovery Center, Inc. through his work as a Recovery Assistant. He leads with patience, care, and quiet strength. He believes deeply in showing up for people with dignity and respect and he brings warmth and honesty into every space he is part of.

A proud Carrollton native, Omar is five years strong in recovery. He is grounded in purpose and growth. He recharges in nature, creates through art, and teaches with heart. He also cares deeply for animals and is rarely seen without one of his dogs by his side. Most of all, he leads by example and lives in a way that lifts others.

This move is a major win for our community. Omar represents everything we believe in. Real recovery. Real leadership. Real humanity. We are proud of him and grateful to walk beside him in this work.

Help us show Omar some love in the comments. 💜

🌈 Join us at for this year’s Recovery Meet-Up! 🌈

Atlanta Pride has always made space for recovery, and we are proud to continue building that tradition together. Year after year, we create space for connection, support, and belonging right in the heart of the festival.

On Saturday, October 11 at 12 noon at the Greystone Patio in Piedmont Park, we are hosting a non-denominational all-recovery meeting chaired by recovery champion Neil Campbell. Everyone who identifies as being in recovery or seeking recovery is welcome.

We honor every pathway to recovery, from 12-step to Dharma and SMART Recovery, to harm reduction and non-abstinence. Your path is valid and celebrated.

Join us as we hold space for our own and celebrate recovery in all its forms. Bring a friend, bring your story, bring yourself. 💜
