"Being a part of Queer People of Color Collective (QPOCC) has been an awesome experience for me. Coming from a town that has a very small gay community in general; being here in Greensboro and connecting with this group of outstanding individuals finally gives me a sense of community. Being surround by so many supportive and talented people; it's really a blessing. I really Appreciate the work of April Parker and Parker T. Hurley for starting something I feel will have a lasting existence and is very much needed here in the Triad and I feel honored to be a part of this movement." Nevada Staples
