Phase 2
We are firm believers in being the change we want to see! We wanted a Pride here in Columbus, Ohio for everybody that amplifies Black/Brown/Marginalized LGBTQ+ and puts our Melanin Magic on display.
It’s About To Go Down!
We’re not looking for inclusion, Black/Brown/Marginalized LGBTQ+ Individuals have been here and leading the movement!
This Pride is catered to the Black/Brown/Marginalized LGBTQ+ that get sprinkled in when we deserve so much more than just inclusion!
Columbus Melanin Pride is for us!
#SummerRenaissance #SplishSplash

We hope you enjoy!

Vendors Wanted
Become an official Vendor of Columbus Melanin Pride
Vending during “Columbus Melanin Pride” brings brand exposure and the perception of social and moral responsibility during this tense climate of social injustice. It also has the potential for mass marketing opportunities and sales leads. If you’d like to sign up to be a vendor for Saturday, please email us so we can contact you and add you to the Vendor’s list.

Kingfinity Pride Flag
Columbus Melanin Pride is the home of the Kingfinity Pride Flag
For Black History Month in 2020, we released a flag that builds on the idea of Philadelphia's People of Color Inclusive Flag (Philly Pride Flag). In 2018, Daniel Quasar responded to the Philly Pride Flag with the "Progress" Pride Flag to include the colors of the Transgender Flag.
We wanted to add to the inclusive flags that came before the Kingfinity Pride Flag to create a flag that not only included our Trans Brothers and Sisters, but placed the Pride Flag and Transgender Flag Side by Side to know we are all in this together. We added Black and Brown Stripes to the top and bottom of the flag to represent our Black and Brown GLBTQ+ Community. Black and Brown Bodies Helped Lead this Movement, and Black and Brown Bodies Will Help Lead Us Into The Future.
