"FIGHTING INEQUALITY THROUGH COMPREHENSIVE PROGRAMMING"
​
In 2014, a mother and son decided it was time to form an organization to affirm and uplift those that were deemed "the least of these." The results of this vision was the birthing of a 501c3 nonprofit organization namely called "Relationship Unleashed." The Clemonses knew there was a need to create space for the black LGBTQ community that focused on the wellness of the whole person(s).
The LGBTQ community in the Deep South is under attack especially with attempts to pass anti-gay laws disquised as religious freedoms.
Relationship Unleashed provide year round programs with monthly educational forums to address the intersections of systemic issues affecting the black LGBT community in the South.
