Griot Circle Incorporated
GRIOT (Gay Reunion In Our Time) Circle is a community based organization which addresses the needs of older lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ) people of color. Members of our community have been systematically overlooked and underserved and have endured discrimination and violence based on age, race, and sexual orientation, gender, and gender identity. Our mission is to counteract these damaging conditions by maintaining a safe space for elders, and providing programs and support systems designed to alleviate fear and isolation that affirm their lives and encourage self-empowerment.
