A sponsorship proposal · She & HER

We'd like to sponsor Atlanta Black Pride — and pay for it in work.

Terence — Desirée Mayon, founder of She & HER. We're a sapphic-led community platform, and we'd like the Presenting tier. Instead of a check, we'd like to give you the year of work below. It comes to about $35,000, and it's the same thing we'd invoice a client for.

What we'd do

TotalMatches your Presenting tier.$35,000

If Presenting is already spoken for, switch anything off and the total will land on whichever tier is open. We'll shape it to that.

Where we'd start

Your sponsorship sheet promises every sponsor a logo and a link. On the page today the logos are there and the links aren't yet — so a brand that pays you can't see any traffic come back. It's the kind of thing that only gets fixed when someone owns it, and nobody's been resourced to.

Here's your page now, and here's the same page rebuilt. We already built it.

Who sits in which tier is a guess on our part — you'd tell us. Once it's grouped and linked, you can finally tell a sponsor how much traffic their placement sent them.

A few small things, while we're in there

None of these are urgent. They're all same-day, and we'd do them in the first week.

  • The countdown in your site header shows as text instead of counting down same day
  • The ZIP in the footer has an extra digit same day
  • The sponsorship page still says 25th Annual, and prices the top tier as “$35,00” same day
  • Your 2026 dates aren't published on the site — the listings sites have them, you don't same day
  • atlantablackprideweekend.org points at a parked page, not at you worth a look

Why us

She & HER exists to give sapphics somewhere to belong. Community first, then self, then someone. We were an official sponsor of NYC Pride this June, we're a partner at AfroTech in Houston in November, and we're backed by Google for Startups and NVIDIA Inception.

I'm a data scientist — I built product at Google, and before that Microsoft, Etsy and Nordstrom. I'm a Black sapphic woman from Houston, and I sat on the board of Pride Houston. We also run our own marketing stack in-house, built for this community specifically, which is why we can offer the work rather than just the money.

And plainly: we're a sapphic platform asking for a seat at a Black Pride table. Atlanta Black Pride has always been for all of us. Showing up for each other is the oldest thing we do.

The ask

Thirty minutes with you and Amber, this week or next.

If it sounds right in principle, we'd start the first phase straight away so the page is sorted before your gates open. If the timing's tight, the rest of it doesn't depend on that.

And if Presenting is spoken for, or a trade doesn't work for your board, just say — we'll shape it to whatever tier is open. Either way, the list above is yours to keep, and I'm happy to hand over the details whether or not we do business.
