SAY IT LOUD!
2024
*CELEBRATING LGBTQIA+ BLACK, INDIGENOUS, AND PEOPLE OF COLOR
18 YEARS
In Our Own Voices (IOOV) is proud to present our 18th annual Pride
event: Say it Loud! BIPOC* Pride!
This is a truly unique event for our region. Say it Loud! BIPOC Pride
is an opportunity for us to celebrate the courage, resilience, and
contributions of our vibrant LGBTQIA+ Black, Indigenous, and
People of Color (BIPOC) communities in New York’s Capital Region.
Not only do we seek to provide a safe and enjoyable space for
LGBTQIA+ BIPOC and our allies, we also link our communities with
inclusive, sensitive, and affirming resources and health screenings
free of charge through our Health & Wellness Expo.
We are also proud to partner with A Big Gay Market this year to
provide a safe space for LGBTQIA+ small businesses, makers, and
consumers.
Pride has come to symbolize a moment of respite for our
community members. And Say it Loud! BIPOC Pride helps us
improve health outcomes, create safer spaces to combat isolation,
and provide access to resources and services that LGBTQIA+
BIPOC individuals and families would not receive otherwise.
This June, we’re honoring strength and power– not only in who we
are, but also in what obstacles we are able to overcome.

A MESSAGE
FROM OUR CEO
In Our Own Voices (IOOV) is exceedingly excited to host Say It Loud! BIPOC Pride 2024, a
celebration of LGBTQIA+ Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) communities. At
a time when attacks against LGBTQIA+ communities across the nation have intensified,
it is more important than ever for us to come together in unity to celebrate community,
strength, and talent.
As one of the oldest LGBTQIA+ organizations to serve BIPOC individuals and families in
the nation, we know that communities of color face difficulty when communicating our
perspectives within the larger community. Say it Loud! BIPOC Pride is an opportunity to
acknowledge the diversity of 5,700+ LGBTQIA+ BIPOC members in our local community,
and to ensure that their voices and experiences are at the table and amplified.
IOOV remains committed to advancing the health and wellbeing of our family here in the
Capital Region (and beyond). As we celebrate another year of service, we look forward
to increasing our capacity to combat marginalization, develop strong leadership, and
create positive, long-lasting change for all.
So, if this is your first BIPOC Pride, “Welcome.” If not, thank you for joining us for another
year to say, “We are here and we are PROUD to be who we are!”

HEADLINER SPOTLIGHT
FEATURING
INIKO
Expressive and existentially curious, singer/songwriter Iniko makes music for soul searchers. The Brooklyn
native fuses sinewy vocals, the musicality of a multi-instrumentalist, and an adventurous imagination to
tackle anxiety, damaged romance, and philosophy with warmth and whimsy. In the process, Iniko (they/
them) has generated an inimitable brand of cosmic soul—and a growing fan base that includes 4 million
TikTok followers. The artist has continued doing so with “The King’s Affirmation,” and then their rebellious
2023 single “Jericho” which pulsates with the electricity of a star coming into their own.
With a new project on the way, Iniko looks to use their music as a mirror for them and the rest of
the world. “My new music’s not just about who I am. It’s about who we all are and who we would
like to be,” they share. “Right now, where I am is the freest I’ve ever felt.”

Salt n Pepa), as well as local DJ’s from NY. After making a name for himself
DJing private events it would only be a matter of time before he was
catching the attention of promoters, organizations, and nightclubs. Over
the years DJ Jeminii has played at many events, including: NYC Pride, an
after party for a Jay-Z concert at Yankee Stadium, Video Release events,
college events, and more. DJ Jeminii has traveled the country doing what
