a dynamic new initiative designed to empower and elevate Tennessee’s BIPOC LGBTQ+ community
Inspired by the legacies of Ernestine Eckstein, Marsha P Johnson, and Bayard Rustin, the EJR Institute is fostering leadership skills and driving change in both professional and societal spheres.
Our goal is to uplift the legacy of past queer leaders and develop the next generation brown queer folks to live boldly and take on the mantle of leadership to progress our society forward.
