October 10, 2024 – A groundbreaking tour is set to hit the cities of Atlanta, Houston, and Washington D.C., bringing together three of Black culture’s most trusted voices—comprised of a Black Trans Activist, a Black Gay Podcast Host, and a Black Cis-Het Media Influencer—to tackle the pressing issues and intersections of race, identity, and sexuality. The Unlikely Throuple Tour promises a series of electrifying and thought-provoking events throughout the South.
This collaboration unites Hope Giselle, a national organizer and trans activist; Jai The Gentleman, the founder and host of the Dear Black Gay Men podcast; and The Conscious Lee, a renowned educator and media influencer. Each brings a distinct perspective and unique lived experience navigating the world, yet together they embody a powerful synergy that is both “unexpected” and profoundly compelling.
The Unlikely Throuple Tour is made possible by the generous support of HIV & All of Us’s Help End HIV the HIV Vaccine Trials Network (HVTN), with a mission to elevate conversations around health, community, and change. Attendees are invited to engage in meaningful dialogue while partaking in performances that promise to be as educational as they are enjoyable.

“What makes this tour unique is the beautiful blend of our stories. We are weaving a fabric of varied but interconnected threads of experience,” said Hope Giselle. “The Unlikely Throuple is a testament to the power of Black voices coming together.”
“Expect to be enlightened, entertained, and maybe even challenged to see things differently,” said Jai The Gentleman. “For me, this tour is akin to having a heartfelt conversation with old friends. We’re here to break barriers, sure, but also to laugh, to learn, and to lean into the beautiful complexity of our identities and experiences.”
The Conscious Lee noted, “We want folks to feel at home in this space. It’s about creating those ‘aha’ moments through laughter and shared stories; it’s like a big family reunion where everyone leaves with their spirits lifted and perspectives broadened.”
