We Walk for Us. We Walk for Equity. We Walk for Life.

The BlaQue Agency Inc. is honored to walk in this year’s Indiana AIDS Walk: a vital community event that raises critical funds for HIV prevention, testing, and treatment across Indiana.

But this walk does even more: it directly supports The Indiana AIDS Fund/DEFA Fund , helping people living with HIV cover urgent needs like housing, utilities, food, and transportation.

As a Black & Q***r-led organization, we walk to fight stigma, amplify lived experience, and ensure our people can not only survive but THRIVE.

Walk with us. Give if you can.

Your donation fuels hope, health, and home.

From the desk of Eddie Benson Jr., Cofounder of The BlaQue Agency Inc.

🌟✨July 19th Is My Birthday; But This Year, I’m Asking for Something Different ✨🌟

Another year around the sun. Another year guided by purpose, passion, and people. As I celebrate my birthday, I’m reflecting not just on life’s blessings, but on the legacy I’m building with The BlaQue Agency Inc.; a labor of love rooted in the brilliance, beauty, and resilience of Black and Q***r communities.

This year, I’m not asking for gifts. I’m asking for fuel.

Fuel to keep the fire burning.
Fuel to support our future leaders, our creatives, our changemakers.
Fuel to sustain healing spaces, culturally-rooted programs, and community-powered transformation.

The BlaQue Agency was born out of a vision: to build a world where Black and Q***r folks don’t just survive; we thrive. And every dollar you give helps us get closer to that reality. Whether it's $5, $25, or $100, your gift is a candle on the cake of collective liberation.

🎁 Donate in honor of my birthday and help us continue this sacred work.
🖤 Let’s build power, together.
✨ Let’s make joy, justice, and legacy a shared gift.

🖤✨ Freedom for Who? ✨🖤

While fireworks light the sky this “Independence Day”, we remember:

When the Declaration was signed, Black people were enslaved, Indigenous people were being displaced, Women didn’t matter and protections for Q***r or Trans bodies were non-existent.

Fast forward to today, and the same systems still thrive, just with new packaging.

🏳️‍⚧️ Trans and Q***r folks are being erased through policy.
⚫ Black communities are policed and underserved.
🌍 Immigrants are demonized and dehumanized.
📜 And bills and executive orders are designed to keep us poor, unhealthy, unhoused, and unheard.

This isn’t freedom.

It’s a reminder that the fight for liberation isn’t over; it’s just evolving.

We won’t be silent.
We won’t celebrate stolen freedom.
We build our own paths to liberation that are rooted in justice, equity, joy, and radical care.

ANNOUNCEMENT :

The BlaQue Agency Inc. is proud to introduce our inaugural Board of Directors : a dynamic, intergenerational collective of leaders who will be boldly guiding the flame of equity, justice, and liberation for our communities.

With intentional diversity at the core, our board reflects the brilliance of Black q***r and trans experiences while welcoming the power of true allyship. Together, they are committed to ensuring that all voices are seen, heard, and represented in every corner of our work.

This is more than leadership, this is legacy and it is just the beginning.

As we grow, there will be a need for our board to expand as well so look out for those times, as they will soon come.

“Juneteenth is not just a celebration, it’s a declaration.”

In a time when the truth of our history is under attack and the Black experience is being silenced, we remember, we honor, and we resist.

At The BlaQue Agency, we affirm that our freedom story is not up for erasure.

Juneteenth reminds us: they may try to bury our truth, but we are the seed. 🌱🖤❤️💚
