Vegas Black Pride®, formerly known as Vegas Pride Block Party, was created in 2018 by Johanna P. Perez to bridge the gap between the straight and LGBTQ+ communities, erase color lines, and create a Pride where everyone could celebrate together without judgement. What began as a three-day celebration welcoming more than 500 people has grown into year round work supporting Black LGBTQ+ wellness through HIV testing and prevention, community care and pathways to healing. Today, that legacy continues as a program of Reclaiming Us, A Black Pride Wellness Movement.
