African American Lesbians United

AALU has come into existence due to the need for a place where womyn of color can come together in a safe and comfortable environment. We come together to not only to be able to express the joys and a struggle of our individual daily experiences, but also to learn from each other's experiences. We all have expertise in one area or another, but not in all areas relative to our lifestyle, needs and concerns. AALU is that liaison that brings the topics that touch and affect us womyn, mothers, wives, daughters, professionals, students and womyn of color. Through AALU, my goal remains to address and focus on health, educational, political, economical, social, and emotional issues that effect our lives and loved ones daily. This organization was created with you in mind. We welcome your input and support.
