COLOURS
Welcome to COLOURS!
At COLOURS, we center health, healing, and community for queer people of color. Whether you’re seeking support, connection, or a way to get involved — you belong here.
Colours Missions
To impact, improve, and empower the lives of communities of color, especially those of the African Diaspora, within the greater Philadelphia metropolitan area across all genders and sexualities. With an intentional focus on LGBTQ+ communities, through holistic wellness & safety, intersectionality, and community mobilization, we strive to support and uplift the experiences of those too often left in the margins.
ABOUT US!
WHO ARE WE?
COLOURS works at the intersection of health equity, social justice, and community empowerment, prioritizing services for individuals of color from all genders and sexualities, who are disproportionately impacted by HIV, stigma, and systemic oppression.
We noticed huge disparities in healthcare, education, and emotional support within the community, so we became an official nonprofit resource organization in 1994. Since then, we’ve been educating our fellow community members about targeted issues like HIV/AIDS prevention, sexual health issues, and mental health issues

Conversations at Colours
In COLOURS’ continued efforts to “understand what matters most in the community” and to “assure culturally relevant communication,” we develop a new project “The Conversations @ COLOURS”, a social media, platform-based initiative, in a talk show format, that creates a safe place for all persons to speak their truth and highlight taboo and systematic stigmas within the community.
