UHIMWE Pittsburgh (fiscally sponsored by the Afro American Music Institute) offers safe spaces, community and connection to all of their brothers and sisters through programs, mentors, pedagogy, and annual the Bayard Rustin festival. UHIMWE particularly connects with to those brothers who continue to be marginalized because of their sexuality, and presently are living double lives in this region which further threatens and reduces the quality of life that all should experience as human beings-especially black and brown and queer brothers.
