We connect to celebrate. I feel so lucky to be able to organize with such beautiful humans and get the people to the spaces that have their ass shaking. Shout out to anyone who has ever supported any event that I’ve been a part of and I am so excited to do more in venues ! I started organizing 18 years ago in my apartment and did house parties for so long along with things outside and it’s so nice to see creations and collaborations come to life in this capacity. Where Dem Niggas at came from people just being late to a meeting and idea was born 😂

Usually on Juneteenth people don’t know where to go so we made sure there was a place for everyone to go at @goldenratio510 . I’m so excited to see what else we can do. Thank you @blkinmotion @blacktransmasccollective @b.tourmaline_ We are so brilliant

Calling All Lesbians, Sapphics & Queer AFAB’s!!! 🏳️‍🌈💜❤️🩷🌸🤍💛🧡🏳️‍⚧️

I’m hosting a Tea Party for Lesbian Visibility Day, & would love for you to join me, as this will be my first ever event hosted, & free to attend 🤗 RSVP & Google Forms linked in my bio!!

While this event prioritizes the “L” of the alphabet mafia for this particular day 🥹🫶🏽 all WLW & gender-nonconforming sapphic identities are welcome 🥰🏳️‍⚧️⚧️

We’ll be gathering together for a special time of tea, food, watching the sunset, floral bouquet making, learning several things about lesbian history, will have a photo booth to capture these memories, vibing out to gay ass music & playing a couple games with a couple prizes to win!!!

I will do my best to provide accordingly, but it would be so helpful if you could bring your own pillows/blankets for extra personal comfort! 💕

Special thanks to our comrades in community who organize other BLACK QUEER TRANS events @blkinmotion @blacktransmasccollective where a lot of our volunteers were from. Support their collectives and events as well. I love the ways we can support each other. Stay tuned for more pics and videos. Also we will have a play event on Feb 28th 😈
