Creating Space & Platforms exclusively for Black & Brown Trans People

Molasses is a Chicago-based collective manifested by and for black, trans and gender-nonconforming (TGNC) artists and organizers. The name Molasses, a substance with several ties to the history and power of Blackness, represents who is most centered in our purpose and work as a collective. Molasses aims to create both community and opportunity for black trans and gender-variant people and queer people of color through cultural work, coalition-building, and linkage to (self)care.
