Join us next Tuesday for a night of silliness and games with our Intergenerational Game Night, in partnership with NOAGE (New Orleans Advocates for LGBTQ+ Elders)!

Games have a long history of bringing people together and creating community. Come out for a fun and fabulous night full of social gaming with your community members from across generations. We have many different games on hand, but feel free to bring your favorites to play. It’s an opportunity to get to know some folks from the community in a relaxed, playful environment at the Pride Center. Feel free to invite friends! And, there will be snacks!

🌈 Writing from the Rainbow🌈 is our NEW ongoing monthly LGBTQIA+ workshop focused on all aspects of writing, including how to get your first words on paper to getting published and sharing your work with the world! ✨ ✏️

Award-winning publisher, editor, and writer Sorella Smith will host this event which will also feature other writers as guest presenters. This is an ongoing workshop, so you can attend as many meetings as you want! This is a free event, but everyone should bring their own pens, notebooks, computers, and tablets.

Everyone has stories to tell, fictional, factual, or otherwise. This workshop will assist you with such concepts as world-building, plotting, character creation, continuity maintenance (unless you're just that stream-of-consciousness writer, then forget continuity maintenance), editing, sharing and constructive criticism of work, and the journey forward, either to publishing or wherever you want to take your writing. All prose types are welcome, including poetry, fiction, nonfiction, etc. We hope to see you there!

Attention EVERYONE!Please save the date for this wonderful event that you guys would not want to miss meet me there.❤️
