I’m a black ocean, leaping and wide,
Welling and swelling I bear in the tide.
Leaving behind nights of terror and fear
I rise
Into a daybreak that’s wondrously clear
I rise

Another Octave reaffirms our commitment to promoting equity and justice for our Black sisters through our words, actions, and music. Black Lives Matter. Black Trans Lives Matter. Say Her Name.

The murders of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Nina Pop, Ahmaud Arbery, and Tony McDade are just the most recent examples of the epidemic of violence against Black people in America. As a women’s chorus founded by lesbians and currently family to 50 women and gender nonconforming folks from a variety of backgrounds, Another Octave celebrates diversity and condemns discrimination - overt, unconscious, and systemic. We stand with the families of those whose names we’ve heard and those we haven’t who have been victims of racialized violence, police brutality, and vigilantism. We stand with people around the world protesting that violence. We recognize that our mission of giving voice to the lived experiences of all women includes that of Black women. We strive to be a community that uplifts the voices of the marginalized and celebrates rather than appropriates. Another Octave commits to being introspective as an organization and continually learning about and supporting racial justice.
