V. told me that she knew this D.J., Cindy, and that she had a bad attitude. (V. told me she is a frequent customer at Amelia's). V. said that the D.J. had snapped and smarted off at her several times when she tried to make requests. I was unable to get back to Amelia's on Saturday night, so I didn't get to talk with the D.J., Cindy, personally.

Editorial comment

It is quite clear to us that Storme received the same racist treatment from this D.J. that many other women of color have experienced. Like Storme, we ask, "how can we justify lining the pockets of these women with our hard-earned dollars? If you are tired of these kinds of incidents, a member of the ONYX staff would like to start some dialogue about creating alternative gathering places. Interested women call 540-0671.

Black Women's Health Conference

The first National Conference on Black Women's Health Issues will be held at Spellman College in Atlanta, Georgia, on June 24, 1983. The conference, spon- sored by the National Women's Health Net- work, various Black organizations and consumer groups, will have workshops, self-help groups, and films.

Byllye Avery, who is project dir- ector of the Atlanta-based Black Women's Health Project, announced the conference during a presentation she gave to the South Berkeley Women's Clinic on health problems facing the Black women's commun- ity.

Health issues such as high blood pressure, diabetes, stress, diet, and nutrition concern us as Black lesbians. Let's find a way to attend the confer- ence. Those interested in attending contact:
