Black Brothers Esteem (BBE), San Francisco AIDS Foundation's oldest prevention program, is turning 10! Since 1997, BBE has served members with drop-in discussion groups, workshops, community-wide social events, peer health advocacy, mentoring, and volunteer activities all aimed at improving overall health and community strength. Currently serving more than 400 African American gay, bisexual and same gender-loving men, BBE continues to grow. Last year members created a comprehensive brochure with culturally competent health resources for African American gay men, and also hosted a photography workshop in preparation for exhibitions in Tenderloin and SoMa galleries, showcasing BBE members' artistic talents.

Join us to celebrate 10 years of BBE work empowering African American gay men to be agents of change within their communities. The BBE 10th Anniversary and Kwanzaa celebration will be from 5-11 pm on Dec. 17th at the San Francisco Marriott: 55 Fourth Street, San Francisco.
