We had the good fortune of connecting with The rainbow’ Factory and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi The rainbow’, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
We noticed there wasn’t many places for POC in the LGBT community of Denver. We wanted to bring some thing more of the culture hip-hop, and like-minded people.

What should our readers know about your business?
My team is an urban LGBTQ event coordinator. We are here to bring hip-hop culture into the LGBTQ establishments and other members together as well as allies and supporters. We aim to create a safe space that is inclusive And welcoming to everyone.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
