“Breaking the Rejection Cycle, Building Community”
Welcome to Unchained! Launched in 2015, we’re proud to host a unique, culturally responsive support group in New York City, brought to you by the Caribbean Equality Project. For nearly a decade, Unchained has been an anchor to our Healing Justice work, and we’re excited to offer a warm, welcoming space for Caribbean LGBT+ immigrants, those living with HIV, and survivors of family rejection, discrimination, intimate partner violence, and sexual assault to heal and build community.
We invite you to join us in a supportive community where you can fully embrace your intersectional identity as a Queeribbean. At Unchained, we’re dedicated to creating a compassionate and inclusive environment. Through intergenerational conversations and shared experiences, we work together to end stigma, build healthier relationships, celebrate our rich diversity, and foster empowerment and family acceptance.
Here, you’ll find a brave space to creatively heal and talk openly about coming out, family dynamics, LGBTQIA+ issues, social norms, healthy relationships, dating, sexual fluidity, and overall health and wellness. We offer a place of guidance and understanding as we embark on this collective journey of storytelling and reflection, deeply rooted in our culture and shared intentions.
Our goal is to provide hyper-local healing spaces in neighborhoods with strong Caribbean ties, such as Little Guyana in Queens and Little Caribbean in Brooklyn. These meetings facilitate meaningful intergenerational dialogues on topics like ending stigma, building healthier relationships, and fostering family acceptance. Our discussions also cover important issues such as coming out, navigating social norms, and managing mental health.
Our experienced facilitators lead both in-person and virtual sessions, offering support and guidance tailored to the needs of our participants. We invite you to join us in this supportive community where you can find connection, understanding, and empowerment.
Come and be part of a community that values your experiences and is here to support you every step of the way. We can’t wait to welcome you to Unchained!
