WELCOME TO OUR QRIB
Willow River Centre and Spectrum’s Black, Racialized and Indigenous Queers (BRIQ) House are co-organizing a series of events called QRIB (Queer, Racialized, Indigenous and Black) community hangouts to help foster a safer community for self-identifying queer, racialized, Indigenous and Black individuals.
The two organizations started hosting these hangouts last year from Aug. 9 to Dec 13. Initially focused on karaoke, the hangouts have since evolved to include other community-focused activities like bonfires and discussion circles.
The name “QRIB” is a play on words for the word crib and was chosen to evoke a sense of home or gathering space. The Willow-River Centre, an event venue based in Kitchener, played a key role by offering a space designed for the Indigenous and racialized queer population, incorporating culturally specific elements, local art and non-hierarchical, healing-focused community values, instead of clinical or colonial support models.
“They bring a sense of safety for a lot of Indigenous and queer people locally,” Karla Gomez, a facilitator of the QRIB hangout, said.
Spectrum provides funding and support, including food and resources at hangouts. Though the organization wasn’t initially inclusive, recent leadership changes made it more committed to reconciliation and community prioritization.
“The hangouts are non-hierarchical, free, and community-led, fostering healing and connection in ways that feel safe and liberating to those involved,” Roni Noodle, a director of the QRIB hangouts, said.
Noodle also explained how QRIB is unique in Kitchener-Waterloo, and no other local spaces offer the same intersectional support for 2SLGBTQIA+ and racialized individuals. Noodle described BRIQ House as another supportive space for Indigenous and queer people in the area but noted it holds a different relationship with the community compared to Willow River Centre. Although Spectrum started hosting QRIB hangouts to create a more inclusive space, it’s not a space designed for racialized, Black and Indigenous individuals. Even though they’re attempting to change, they decided a partnership with Willow River Centre will help them.
“It’s a space where you don’t need to translate your soul. It’s designed with you in mind,” Roni said.
They said that people from within the racialized or queer community are not always comfortable in public spaces and they do not feel acknowledged or seen, but this is a space where those individuals can feel comfort and express themselves more freely.
Noodle explained that last year’s QRIB hangouts went very well. However, Spectrum’s director changed earlier this year and the two organizations were not sure if they had funding for the hangouts this year. However, the new director was very supportive of the events.
“Events like this are too important to the community for us not to prioritize funding for it,” Gomez said.
She said events such as the QRIB hangout need to exist, saying that Spectrum continues to show commitment to supporting these hangouts, by applying for funding for racialized Indigenous Queers.
These events have had a successful turnout so far, with returning participants and new individuals joining the hangout, these events also address local issues revolving around the racialized, queer, and Indigenous communities such as peer support, food insecurity, loneliness, and isolation.

J.K. Rowling sagt, jeden Euro den sie an Harry Potter verdient, wird sie dazu einsetzen, Transitionen zu verunmöglichen und trans Personen zurück in den Schrank zu drängen, aus dem einst Harry Potter gekrochen ist.
Dies sagt eine Frau, die, wie sie selbst zugegeben hat, gerne selbst ein Mann wäre. Sie hasst uns, weil wir das sind, was sie nicht geschafft hat und niemals schaffen wird, nämlich frei.
WICHTIG:

Aus aktuellem Anlass, habe ich mal einen neuen Beitrag geschrieben, um zu verdeutlichen, was Transgeschlechtlichkeit, oder Geschlechsidentität ist und wie man die trans* Community unterstützen kann.
Das ist sicherlich nicht der Stein der Weisen, sondern spiegelt nur meine Meinung, mein Wissen wider.
Verbesserungsvorschläge sind sehr erwünscht.

Öfter mal das Kopfkino aufräumen 🤓
"Die Erinnerung an die Vergangenheit kann gefährliche Einsichten aufkommen lassen, und die etablierte Gesellschaft scheint die subversiven Inhalte des Gedächtnisses zu fürchten."

Und das sehe ich genauso wie #Tasso. Alle wundern sich, wieso nix aufm Land los ist. Aber es wird ja auch nix gemacht dagegen. Die #IBUG ist ein Meeraner Projekt. Hier gestartet. In meinem 14k Einwohner Kaff. Und hier gibt es genug industriegeprägte Käffer und Ruinen. Da braucht man keine Großstadt dazu. Die Szene geht halt in ihren #safespace Großstadt und nicht nach draußen. Schade!
