We will be having a Black to The Future discussion with topics surrounding Afrofuturism and Black women in the film industry with renowned writers, and actors from 7:30 pm, The evening will transition to get us dancing with an hour of Queer Kizomba class from 8:45 pm (back to due popular demand) followed by DJs to carry on dancing until late. For those unable to join us in person, we've got you covered! Tune in for a live stream of the panel discussion starting at 8 pm.
