This Saturday, October 10th, 10A-12P 💙💛 let’s make it happen

During the week, we get to see volunteer groups from local colleges and corporations, like our returning friends @constellationenergy featured here on these great projects.

This weekend - it’s your turn! Bring your friends and family out (kid friendly!) to help us serve member organizations around the city and beyond. You’ll have some fun, put in some elbow grease, and learn about the great events the blue tools you work on will be going to.

Registration link in bio 🔗🌳 see you there

This was my first time making studs and I opted for the fun/funky aesthetic 🐣✨

Super excited to create more studs bc me personally, I feel naked when I don't have some in 🫩🤭

Best part? The studs are also apart of the "Charm Bar" so you're able to pick out your own charms to create your own personal studs 🥰✨

Weeeeeee 🤸🏾‍♀️✨Our love for Baltimore continues, as there’s always some Black queer shiii to get intooo 🤎🌈

We got BLAQ Pride is still pride-ingggg, UPRISE! Conference and a Burlesque Festival bringing Black and POC queer kink community together. More parties, Homecoming, brunches, community events…da list continues!

Soooo we’ve been connecting the dots over at The Mahogany Pages to make it a lil easier to figure out where ta go and find your ppl. 🤗

Especially for our Black queer travelers coming into Baltimore for Homecoming, we added more than just events. You can find Black-owned restaurants and dining, some of our favorite queer bars and nightlife, and Black lesbian/sapphic promoters we LOVE (who you should absolutely keep on your radar after this weekend too). 😆

And this is why being locally tapped in matters so much to us. TMP is built with community, not just for community. Our very own @dvn__an and @_4theloveof22 have deep Baltimore roots, and we’re constantly learning from the people who actually live, organize, party and build community here.

Cus finding your people shouldn’t require 37 open Instagram tabs and somebody’s cousin sending you a flyer from a group chat. 😭

Alsoooo, the sun is still SUNNING right now ☀️😂 and daylight savings and those gloomy ass winter months are creeping up on us.

So get your vitamin D, go shake some ass, go to that leather workshop…shiii, try talkin to somebody new, exchange those numbers. Don’t just find community and stay in da house all winter…STAY connected to it.

The Mahogany Pages is just here to help you figure out where errrbodys at. 🤎🌈

Follow our new page @themahoganypages for more queer updates, and full Baltimore guide in our bio. See y’all outsideeeeee. 🤸🏾‍♀️✨

BLACK Pride is HEREEEE and this time we get to represent one of our home bases. 🥹🤎🏳️‍🌈

Baltimoreeee, we OUTSIDE this weekend!! Ion care that it’s not summa anymore…Pride is 365 days a year, and building community doesn’t stop just because seasonal depression months are around the corner. 😭😭 Take them vitamins, get off da couch, and letsss gather dis fall. 🤗🍂🍁

We’ve been in the Baltimore Black queer scene here for YEARSSS and our very own @dvn__a is born and raised here, so we’re extra excited to bring The Mahogany Pages to Baltimore BLAQ Pride and help our fellow queers navigate everything happening across the city.

And there is a LOTTT going on 😂 Brunches, parties, creative spaces, polyamory and kink events, community programming, volunteering…all the things that really bring the best outta our community. 🥹🤎

As always, The Mahogany Pages represents the broader Black Pride scene while putting some extra love on the Black and BIPOC sapphic promoters, spaces and experiences that can be a lil harder for our community to find.

Soooo if you’re Black and queer explorin BLAQ Pride…and especially if you’re one of our Black sapphics wondering “where da ladiesss at???” 😭😂…come find your people with us.

Link in bio for da full interactive itinerary, where ya can click straight through to tix and share your schedule with your friends! Alsooo sign up for our new newsletter, so when we drop new finds, you’ll be the first to know…instead of finding out about that lesbian party when tix are suddenly $1 million dollas. 😭😂

I promise, we queers are EVERYWHERE…and we made it our mission to find ’em, then help y’all find where tf yo people at. 🤸🏾‍♀️✨💗🌈
