I Am Human Foundation

I Am Human Foundation is a national nonprofit building health, wellness, and economic opportunity alongside Black and brown LGBTQ+ communities. Headquartered in Atlanta, with a San Francisco office opening Summer 2026, we work in barbershops, living rooms, gyms, clinics, and online, wherever our people already are.

Our work is led by people who share lived experience with the communities we serve. That changes everything. It changes who walks through the door. It changes how long they stay. It changes what is possible.

Our programs include:

• Men Like Us, a peer-led HIV prevention and navigation initiative for Black and brown gay, bisexual, and same-gender-loving men
• Navigate to Life, a cancer screening navigation program closing the early-detection gap for Black and brown men
• Black Boy Joy, a 3-day healing and empowerment retreat where Black men gather to rest, reconnect, and remember that softness is also a kind of strength
• Capacity building and sensitivity training for organizations that want to better serve LGBTQ+ communities of color

We exist because the same data tells the same story year after year. Black and brown LGBTQ+ people in this country are still carrying the heaviest health and economic burdens, and the resources meant to reach us too often do not. We are working to change that, program by program, person by person.
