About U-BE

United Black Ellument (U-BE) exists to enable young, black same-gender-loving men to fulfill their greatest potential for good. We are creating ways for young men to come together, meet, socialize, and learn to support one another. We provide alternative social events and opportunities for same-gender-loving men to promote our diversity, well-being, and strength as individuals and as a community. We create a safe environment to talk and encourage each other about issues that are important to us, including safer sex.

HOW WE DO IT…

What that means is that we’re here when you need us! Here are a few things we’ve helped with in the past…
