Better Brothers Los Angeles and The DIVA Foundation
Better Brothers Los Angeles is a 501(c)(3) organization that educates, inspires and connects the Black LGBTQ community in Southern California. Our mission is to develop a stronger sense of community and overcome the challenges of cultural and religious opposition to our orientation. BBLA’s year round social, educational and overall affirming programming is anchored by the Truth Awards Ceremony, an annual recognition and celebration of the Black LGBTQ community and its allies.
The DIVA Foundation, founded in 1990 by Tony nominated actress and HIV/AIDS advocate Sheryl Lee Ralph, is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization created as a living memorial to the many friends she lost to HIV/AIDS as an original cast member of the Broadway musical DREAMGIRLS, and because of her concern for the threat HIV/AIDS posed to women and children. Over the years, the DIVA Foundation has worked to break the silence and erase the stigma still connected to HIV/AIDS and encourage people to get tested in order to know their HIV status.
