Mobilizing Our Brothers Initiative (MOBI) is a series of curated social connectivity events for gay and queer people of color to see their holistic self while promoting community, wellness, and personal development. MOBI engages communities through free programming supported by public funding. With a focus on health and wellness, MOBI seeks to cultivate a more informed, better equipped, and supportive network for the communities we serve.
For the first time, we’ve moved our signature live MOBItalks event series to a digital platform in an effort affect greater audiences. The MOBItalks digital film series is a reincarnation of our namesake personal and professional development series launched in 2017, and we’re excited to share it with everyone.Framed through the lens of themes including sex, mental health and overall LGBTQ experience, the series documents the intersectionalities of LGBTQ life and culture.
MOBI has created this page for our viewers of the series that live in the New York City metropolitan area as an additional resource for services that are discussed per episode.
Check back after the premiere of each series for an updated list of available services.
