The Journey

STORIES IN BLACK (SIB), is a multidimensional project dedicated to exploring and elevating the narrative of being a Black Gay man in America. SIB was founded in 2006 during a candid dinner conversation between two friends (Eugene Robinson, Jr and Ladu Pearson) who realized their journey to becoming their authentic selves was one in the same. The transformative experience of sharing their parallel journeys deepened their belief in the power of collective storytelling within the Black gay community, and inspired them to create a safe space for other Black gay men to share their own stories.

Covering everything from coming out, identity, relationships, family/friends, and mental health and wellness. Stories In Black aims to build a movement that gives voice to the individual journeys of Black gay men through personalized storytelling from the life author. These stories will display a level of emotion and vulnerability with the hope they will inspire other Black men to want to share their stories, and create a community of love, support and courage.

In addition to its online presence, Stories In Black also provides a community and an opportunity to connect with others who share common experiences. No matter where you happen to be in your life’s journey, through our posts, videos, and forums, SIB aims to encourage and empower you to live your best and courageous life.
