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.

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.

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.

Meet the inaugural Board of Directors shaping PMAF’s vision. This team brings deep experience across organizing, education, arts, and strategy — united by a purpose: resourcing Black LGBTQ+ brilliance.

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.
