A little late to the recap, but we’re still VERY proud of this one. 🧡

It’s been a summer of fun, pride, and Q***r Caribbean joy, and we’re reflecting on how we kicked off the season with Pride Vybz—a powerful night of gathering, connection, and celebration.

So grateful to our partners at Out N Bad Out N Bad, everyone who showed up and brought their people, and especially Maljo Blu Mallory Josephine Blu for a beautiful performance that made the night unforgettable.🌈

Good Trouble Lives On ✨

Jahajee is proud to join and communities across New York to honor the legacy of Congressman John Lewis and take action in defense of our people.

As an organization rooted in the power of Indo-Caribbean women and gender-expansive people, we know our liberation is bound together. The fight to protect Black voting rights, defend immigrant communities, and end state violence are deeply connected. When one community is under attack, we all have a responsibility to show up.

Join us as we rally, march, and remind those in power that our communities belong, deserve dignity, and will continue organizing for justice.

A month later, we’re still carrying the energy of May Day.

It was powerful to take the streets alongside NYIC and our Caribbean Equality Project family, marching with thousands who believe that dignity, safety, and justice should belong to all of us.

As descendants of workers, migrants, and survivors, we know that every right we’ve won has come through collective struggle. May Day was a reminder that our power has always been in community.

None of us are free until all of us are. ✊🏾❤️‍🔥
