Not gonna lie, when I moved to New York I worried a lot of the q***r and WLW spaces would be predominantly 🏳️⚪️◽️❕️.
Don't get me wrong, I love all shapes, colors, and backgrounds. But there is something about finding spaces where you see yourself reflected, whether through culture, identity, music, or shared experiences.
Thankfully, I've found a few q***r homes:
🍯
If you're looking for spaces centered on Black and brown q***r joy... where you know you'll break a sweat, want a variety of curated events from general QTBIPOC to 28+ saphhics or for the Bois... Raw Honey has it all.
👑
A Latina-led q***r community creating everything from dancing to game nights, Saturday hikes, camping trips, and community events. If you're looking for q***r women, culture, friendship, and community, this is one of my favorite in the city.
🌸💎 with her Petals Parties for all, and for femme only parties her Jewelry Box parties.
Think sapphic nightlife with a sexy, playful yet elevated energy. Petals creates spaces for q***r women to dance, flirt, connect, and celebrate being exactly who they are.
Grateful for the people creating these spaces and the people that continue to show up for them. 🌈
