Celebrating 10 years of Black Queer and Trans Recovery - Come experience a night of beauty, excellence, and Black Joy! All are welcome! The Blackyard Collective &ldquo;Black Love&rdquo; Gala &mdash; Celebrating 10 Years of Black Queer &amp; Trans Recovery Join us for an unforgettable evening of elegance, joy, and liberation as The Blackyard Collective commemorates a decade of Black queer and trans recovery, resilience, and community care. For ten years, BYC has created Black space, cultivated Black connections, and conjured Black joy&mdash;trailblazing a community where our stories matter, our brilliance is centered, and our healing is sacred. This year&rsquo;s Mardi Gras&ndash;themed Gala invites you into a world of color, celebration, and Black queer magic. Think feathers, beads, bold glam, and all the vibrancy that Mardi Gras traditions offer&mdash;from pageantry to second-line spirit. Expect a night overflowing with culture, rhythm, and unapologetic abundance. Hosted at The Center, this formal celebration welcomes guests to embody Mardi Gras elegance in Black &amp; Gold attire, honoring both New Orleans pageantry and BYC&rsquo;s tenth-anniversary glow-up. The Gala also serves as a fundraiser for the 2026 BYC National Conference, the first-ever international gathering dedicated to Black queer and trans recovery. Your presence, your contribution, and your spirit help ensure that this historic convening becomes a transformative space for hundreds across the diaspora.
