Black LGBTQ+ Liberation, Inc = BLINC

Are You Ready to Take the Couch?®️ Tonight I'm on the couch with G. Wright Muir. She is an LGBTQ+ advocate and writer. She’s the co-founder and executive director of the nonprofit BLINC (Black LGBTQ+ Liberation, Inc). G has been partnering with her pal Nik Harris to produce the “Thou Art Woman” event series since 2014. They later founded BLINC to expand their work and have a greater impact in the community. G received her B.A. in Black Studies and Psychology from Amherst College and her J.D. from Pace University School of Law. She practiced law for over 20 years and most recently worked as a law professor. BLINC is launching BLINC 360, its holistic health and wellness initiative addressing health disparities in the Black community. BLINC 360 was recently funded to program panel discussions led by subject matter experts addressing mental health, HIV/STDs, and more.
