BLACK LESBIAN CONFERENCE 2016 (BLC2016) , the first of its kind in Harlem and the first in New York City in over 30 years welcomed over 200 LGBTQ women, allies and supporters in March 2016 to Barnard College to explore the conference's theme "The Evolution of Our Community". Presenters led sessions, workshops, discussions that were all designed for  attendees to celebrate & assess our lives, connect to resources that will keep us living healthily and to explore ways to continue this important legacy-building work.
