Who Are We...
Leadership
Our Community, Our Legacy!
In more ways than one, we continue to inspire our community through events, programs, philanthropy, etc. We are always looking for membership and expansion!
"As the original member of the AVG Legacy, I strive to put forth my best self and in turn it reflects on my family to do the same. I am proud of what we have built, the relationships we've maintained, and the partnerships we cherish. As we continue to build this legacy and introduce others to a perspective that includes diversity and inclusion, I can whole-heartedly say I am excited for the future!"

"Since joining the AVG Legacy years ago, I can honestly say I have met some amazing individuals, with amazing stories to tell. As a performer, I am akin to the beauty and magic of being who you want to be. So as Legendary BQ Motha I make sure to inspire others to be the pinnacle of who they truly are. This journey has taught me so many things, and now being a leader I am always ready to share my experiences to help shape the next generation."
- Legendary BQ Motha Heaux'Tell AVG
"I have always been a role model to the younger generation through my career and my artistry as a performer. Being a member of the AVG Legacy, I get to expand that guidance to those I would never have reached. I love being able to relax and be myself around others I share a familial bond with. Going into my second year with the Legacy, I am ready to reach more of our youth in imparting this wonderful opportunity to be something bigger than yourself.
- Pittsburgh Fatha AVG
"As the mother figure of the organization, I am often most nurturing to not only the success of what we make existential, but the core of who we are as a family and individuals as well. We share a bond like no other and it has been an amazing road thus far. It has been a sight to see young people build an entity of professionalism fun, and innovation. I am proud of everyone in the Legacy and I will continue to support the mission for years to come" - Overall God Motha AVG
Established in 2017...
The Avant Garde Legacy was founded in Cleveland, Oh in 2017 during the time of a decaying black LGBT community. It was established to be the change wanted, needed, and soon to be had by those within the family as well as those involved. We say "Legacy" and not family because a family is bound by biological means, whereas a legacy is forged through impacts and events that are left behind for the future to relish in and be proud. And with that it shall be, a Legacy we intend to carry and leave for those after us to continue to be positive and pure in the community.
A V G.... LEGACYYYYY!!!!
