We’re launching PMAF’s first-ever Artist in Residence — and we chose a culture shifter. DJ Honey Café brings sonic storytelling, community love, and unapologetic Black queer joy to the center of our work. Dive in to see what she’s curating with us and how you can be part of it.

Honoring brilliance is only the beginning — we’re building structures that sustain it. Here’s how PMAF is turning recognition into resources, mentorship, and long-term support for Black LGBTQ+ leaders. The work is bigger than a moment; it’s a movement in motion.

Pauli Murray’s sainthood isn’t symbolic — it’s a blueprint. We reflect on the radical holiness of resistance, the sanctity of truth-telling, and the courage to live beyond the boxes. Join us in honoring their legacy and recommitting to the work it inspires.

Meet the inaugural Board of Directors shaping PMAF’s vision with integrity, clarity, and care. This team brings deep experience across organizing, education, arts, and strategy — and they’re united by a purpose: resourcing Black LGBTQ+ brilliance. Here’s how we’ll move together.

Before PMAF had a name, we had a conviction — and Pauli’s presence at our shoulder. This is the story of how a community need, a lineage of care, and an audacious idea became a foundation. It’s where the mission began, and where it keeps returning for fuel.
