The Black Leadership AIDS Crisis Coalition (BLACC) powered by AHF in partnership with iN-Hale Entertainment & All Tea, No Shade Productions present the filmed dramatic reading of "All Boys Aren't Blue" in support of National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day with the theme of “Stigma Gotta Go.”

The partnership presents the filmed dramatic reading and special virtual event on Monday, February 8, 2021 at 5:00PM PST / 8:00PM EST of George Matthew Johnson’s Amazon Best-Book of the Year and critically-acclaimed book, All Boys Aren’t Blue: A Memoir-Manifesto, recently optioned by Gabrielle Union and Sony TV for television.

The short film, which is directed, adapted and produced by Nathan Hale Williams is a filmed dramatic reading of three chapters from the book performed by Jenifer Lewis (“Black-ish”), Dyll´on Burnside (“Pose”), Bernard David Jones (“The Mayor”) and Thomas Hobson (“Sherman’s Showcase”). The three-part virtual event will feature live performances, a virtual art installation curated by African American Contemporary Visual Arts Advocate/Curator, Rodney LoveJones of byLoveJones and music featuring Black and Black queer artists. The evening will conclude with a roundtable discussion moderated by Tai Beauchamp with the goal of moving out the fear that creates stigma and replacing it with love through the event while also having a sobering discussion that needs to be had.

All Boys Aren't Blue: A Memoir-Manifesto is the bestselling and award-winning debut book by George Matthew Johnson - an award winning non-binary writer, author and activist living in New York City. Johnson's memoir-manifesto, explores his childhood, adolescence, and college years in New Jersey and Virginia. From the memories of getting his teeth kicked out by bullies at age five, to flea marketing with his loving grandmother, “Nanny” (played by Lewis), to his first sexual relationships, this young-adult memoir weaves together the trials and triumphs faced by Black queer boys. Both a primer for teens eager to be allies as well as a reassuring testimony for young queer men of color, All Boys Aren't Blue covers topics such as gender identity, toxic masculinity, brotherhood, family, structural marginalization, consent, and Black joy. Johnson's emotionally frank style of writing appeals directly to young adults. The book was selected as one of 2020’s best by Kirkus, Amazon and Goodreads. Johnson identified as he/him when the book was written.
