This year’s theme for UK Black Pride will be Freedom & Justice to mark its 19th year as the UK’s most inclusive Pride event.
Founded in 2005, UK Black Pride is the largest European pride celebration for LGBTQIA+ people of African, Caribbean, Asian, Latin American and Middle Eastern descent. It is a safe space to celebrate diverse sexualities, gender expressions, gender identities and cultures.
UK Black Pride organises annual celebrations during pride month and various activities throughout the year, which promote and advocate for the emotional, intellectual and spiritual health and well-being of the communities they represent.
The theme of each annual event has been a reflection of the UK Black Pride’s journey. From Love & Rage, looking at how the connection between joy, chosen family and anger fuels political action in turbulent times, to This is Me This is Home which catalogued the sense of safety and community UK Black Pride provides. Last year’s LEGACY was a nod to 18 years of progress, standing on the shoulders of giants and allowing future generations to feel a sense of ownership and empowerment to continue to protest and push for change.
“As we reflect on previous years, we are planning to make this the biggest and the boldest UK Black Pride yet”
