SUMMARY:Queer BIPOC Sapphic Picnic
DESCRIPTION:This picnic is an invitation for queer BIPOC sapphics to gather softly\, casually\, and in community. Just blankets\, snacks\, laughter\, and conversations. Maybe some flirting\, dancing\, and playing.

Come solo or with friends. Come overstimulated\, shy\, excited\, awkward\, soft\, tired\, chatty\, quiet. There is no “right” way to arrive.

Liv and Amal (your “hosts”) have been craving more spaces where we don’t have to search for each other in handfuls among mostly white queer crowds. \n\n\n\nWe love queer community deeply\, and also know the particular exhale that happens when BIPOC sapphics gather together. The softness. The familiarity. The shared cultural nuance. The relief of not having to explain certain parts of ourselves. \n\n\n\nSo we thought… what if we simply made the thing we’ve been longing for \n\n\n\n🌸 The Vibe + what to bring:Think easeful\, low-stress and pleasurable picnic.
Bring a blanket if you can! Bring a snack and/or bevie\, enough for you + maybe 3 friends to share. \n\n\n\nIdeas: a dip + something to dip into it lol\, berries\, oranges\, watermelons\, other fruits\, chips\, sparkling water\, juice\, pastries\, store-bought or homemade snacks (literally whatever feels easy). And if elaborate is your easy\, go for it! haha \n\n\n\nIf the weather is giving rain and thunder\, or if it’s smoky\, we’ll gather at a secondary location\, please RSVP so that we can send you the address Monday morning). \n\n\n\nLooking forward to being together. 💐🌸
