CAYA: Come as you are.

"Come as You Are" was created by Afari Dioum and me working together. It’s an event night for Black and Brown LGBTQ+ people, focused on providing a safe space and fun activities like parties, talks, game nights, and more. All the money raised from these events goes to support a Black or Brown LGBTQ+ person who needs funds for gender-affirming surgery. CAYA is about building community and creating meaningful experiences.
