I Am One’s aims and objectives

I Am One has developed several national and regional projects, which includes the Trinidad and Tobago Pride Arts Festival, The King Conference, The King Show, and the ‘Your Story’ Research Project.

These initiatives directly engage with LGBTQ communities and seek to effect social and cultural change.

The Pride Arts Festival provides a safe place for hundreds of people to interact, share ideas and build sustainable community.

‘Your Story’ is key to understanding the specific needs of LGBTQI Caribbean people, to identify gaps, and to analyse issues and trends in our community.

The King Show and Conference focus on trans masculinity and LBQ masculine culture, which is heavily under researched and discussed in the Caribbean.
