Come and be part of a community that values your experiences and is here to support you every step of the way.

Launched in 2015, Unchained is a pioneering initiative in New York City, offering a  culturally responsive, unique peer-to-peer support group through the Caribbean Equality Project. For a decade, Unchained has been at the heart of our Healing Justice work, providing an empowering space for Caribbean LGBT+ immigrants, those impacted by HIV, and survivors of family rejection, discrimination, intimate partner violence, and sexual assault to heal and build community.

Unchained is dedicated to creating a compassionate environment where individuals can embrace their cultural identities and experiences as Queeribbeans. Our goal is to provide hyper-local healing spaces in neighborhoods with strong Caribbean ties, such as Little Guyana in Queens and Little Caribbean in Brooklyn. Unchained is a brave space focusing on healing and community-building through intergenerational dialogue and discussions to end stigma, foster healthier relationships, celebrate diversity, promote personal empowerment, and encourage family acceptance.

Our members find solace and support in conversations and creative healing around coming out, family dynamics, LGBTQIA+ issues, social norms, healthy relationships and dating, sexual fluidity, and overall health and wellness. We’re excited to offer a warm, welcoming space for Caribbean LGBT+ immigrants, those living with HIV, and survivors of family rejection, discrimination, intimate partner violence, and sexual assault to heal and build community. Here, you’ll find guidance and understanding as we navigate a collective journey of storytelling and reflection, rich in culture and intention. We can’t wait to welcome you to Unchained!
