MOBIfest is also teaming up with community partners including GLAAD, Gilead, Human Rights Campaign Foundation, The New Group, Out in Tech, The National Black Justice Coalition and many more, along with a grant from the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene to produce their annual festival in the time of coronavirus.
“The goal for MOBI has always been to link our community with various health and wellness activities while celebrating contributions to the arts, entertainment, and culture” DaShawn Usher, MOBI's founder, said in a statement.“The pandemic has negatively impacted the world, especially queer people of color, so it was even more important for us to be resilient and continue to build community because there just aren’t that many options for us.
