Welcome to the Collective Healing and Empowering VoicEs through Research and Engagement (¡Chévere!) Lab!

¡Chévere! was founded in 2018 by Dr. Roberto Abreu! Under the guidance of Dr. Abreu, ¡Chévere! lab members seek to serve and liberate oppressed communities through research, mentorship, teaching, and advocacy. ¡Chévere!’s main mission is to enhance the well-being of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) individuals, people of Color and Indigenous people (POCI), and those who self-identify at the intersection of LGBTQ and POCI identities. At its core, ¡Chévere! explores how communities of Color use cultural values and beliefs to navigate relations, embrace, and celebrate their LGBTQ members.
