<strong>Celebrating Atlanta Black Gay Labor Day Weekend 2010</strong><br />
<br />
The Black Gay Community is an ever and forever strong. An event started as a back yard picnic and now as grown as the largest Black Gay Pride in the world. People travel from places throughout the county and abroad. It is a celebration of history, culture, friendship/love, spirituality, community organizing, education, HealthCare, family and just plain fun.<br />
<br />
I served as a Board Member for In The Life Atlanta for seven years. I had the pleasure of meeting so many people who looked forward to fun-filled weekend. I choose this month to have an exciting dialog with four dynamic people – Brandon Bragg, Kathi Martin, Duncan Teague and Darlene Hudson. They have made strong marks in their efforts to seek equality for the Black Gay Community. <br />
<br />
Tune into the problem on Sunday, August 22nd BlogTalkRadio Show – Speaking Your Mind With ZeeCee. The show begins at 3:00 pm PST / 6:00 pm EST. You can go to the website - www.blogtalkradio.com/zeecee or call-in at 347.989.1309. If you miss the program, you can listen to the podcast at you convince.<br />
<br />
I personally invite to join us. This will be my first time opening up the chat room. You can post your questions for the panel to answer. It is will be great to have my audience be a part of the show. <br />
