Rochelle Hudson prides herself on being an African American lesbian. She came out in 2005 at the age of 30. She attended her very first Pride celebration that same year. It was an amazing experience. She was in awe at seeing people from every walk of life CELEBRATING who they were and allies CELEBRATING and SUPPORTING their family and friends. 

Rochelle was introduced to Pride Houston by her close sister-friend Venita Howard. She has been volunteering ever since. Being a part of this organization and all the happiness that it brings during Pride is by far her favorite part of the experience.
