The Normal Anomaly Initiative

Centering Black, queer plus persons to overcome barriers, end stigma and problematic narratives to actualize a new normal.

The Normal Anomaly Initiative is Houston’s premiere Black LGBTQ+ organization, fully emerging in 2018 into a nonprofit incubator at The Montrose Center in Houston, Texas. Starting as a grassroots movement in 2016 focusing on digital storytelling, The Normal Anomaly has understood the need to express our narratives honestly and innovatively while changing our stories to collective resourcing and community empowerment. Before receiving our nonprofit status, we had the privilege of our work being featured on Amazon Prime Video and working with social media departments at the United States Conference on AIDS and Logo/NewNowNext. Since receiving our nonprofit status, we have impacted the lives of thousands of people through direct services, capacity building, research, technical assistance, and advocacy programs.
