BLINC (Black LGBTQ+ Liberation, Inc.) uplifts and connects BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) LGBTQ+ communities in South Florida through art, advocacy, and access. Founded out of the Thou Art Woman art event series in 2014, BLINC treats art not as a supplement to our mission but as the intervention itself, creating space for connection, healing, and collective power. Our programs include Thou Art Woman and BLINC 360.

We envision a world where BIPOC LGBTQ+ people are safe, seen, and free. A world where joy leads, creativity thrives, and community flourishes through collective work and shared purpose.

BLINC is committed to building a liberatory workplace and community rooted in equity, accountability, collaboration, joy, transparency, and shared power.

The Administrative & Programs Assistant keeps BLINC's day-to-day operations and programs running smoothly so the rest of the team can focus on community. This is a hands‑on, detail‑oriented role for someone who enjoys variety, stays organized under shifting priorities, and wants to contribute directly to a growing BIPOC LGBTQ+ organization. The Assistant will work closely with the Executive Director and program leads across all of BLINC's initiatives.
