On April 22, CoCC brought the culture to the mic for SingOUT! Social, a night of karaoke, community, and good vibes at the Pride Cultural Arts Center. Guests sang their hearts out with light refreshments, connecting with other Black LGBTQ+ folks who already understood the assignment. It was exactly what it was supposed to be: simple, joyful, and ours.
