The Founder, started her work as a way to give Womyn of African Descent and Womyn of Color the 1st Womyn of Color East Coast Music Festival in 1993, since other festivals were so European, in style and not for filling the cultural needs of multi-cultural womyn.
This story is legendary due to that need. The Founder created a Womyn of Color Tent at several festivals. This gave a voice to the multi-cultural womyn giving them a place to meet to play their songs, drum, and discuss issues important to them and thus this grew into Circle of Voices Inc.

Lesbian AIDS Project (LAP), New York State and City's premiere program geared specifically toward outreach, HIV prevention education information that supports the reduction of high-risk behaviors of lesbian, bisexual and other women who have sex with women. LAP is the host of our world-famous Pussy Packs, safer sex kits especially designed for women.
