BFD 15: ROLL CALL POTLUCK

--//-->> BRING A DISH TO SHARE <<--\\--

In the times we're living in it's increasingly critical that our community unites in life-affirming ways that strengthen our dignity and struggle and enhance our cultural technology and collective power. 

In a city self-proclaiming "progress" while devaluing and underserving Black lives, we've gotta converge and conspire like our lives, our children's lives, and our grandchildren's lives depend upon it - because they do. 

Black Folks Dinner Seattle is a step on that path - a watering hole along the journey to a just, thriving, and self-determined destination - for all who identify within the Black & African diaspora.** 

Our agenda is simple and intentional: 
1: feed and be fed
2: see and be seen
3: love all black bodies*

We come together every month (or couple months) to connect over a potluck dinner and kick it.

*BFD is a place to love all black bodies. We have zero tolerance for transphobia, sexism, islamophobia, homophobia, ableism, colorism, etc. If you're out of integrity with these values, BFD isn't for you. 
**BFD is an affinity event for Black/African/MixedRace folks ONLY. We love and value our legit allies and look forward to converging in other shared spaces. If you have any questions or concerns, or you'd like to contribute an in-kind or monetary donation to support us, please contact Barbara Jefferson.

Customer Discovery Workshop

Bring your imaginations and leave your inhibitions at home.

Black Folks Dinner 6 will be a beautiful night of art making and music with co-host Jamila Dow and music by DJ Zeta Barber, at the new Black Dot Cultural Innovation Center.

We'll come together with other beautiful black people and unwind our creativity, using materials provided to make our own art and craft. There will be an open mic for those inclined to share spoken word and we'll build an altar to honor the memory of other artists and community members that have passed on. You do not need to be an artist or consider yourself creative to come and have a great time with us.

If you happen to be an artist and have work that you'd like to share, please feel free to bring some of your pieces (photographs, ceramics, dolls, paintings, etc). We'll give you some time throughout the evening to show and share about them.

***BFD is a potluck dinner party*** Bring food and/or drink to share. We encourage you to bring something intentional or meaningful to you. Something from the heart. Through potlucks, we're literally nurturing the bodies of Black Seattle. What will you come with?
