It's been TOO LONG! So we're coming together for UK Black Pride, and for each other.
We've missed seeing you and we know you've missed each other too. So when UK Black Pride suggested hosting watch parties, we jumped at the chance. So, while observing the best practice guidelines to keep us safe from the COVID19 virus, we decided to invite the fam to get together on the final afternoon of UK Black Pride to share the occasion, raise a glass in solidarity, and try our best to revive the final vestiges of our social skills.
The fabulous team at the swish new Riverside Studios in Hammersmith (the historic TV studios, theatre and cinema complex that has been completely rebuilt to look out over the Thames, and now makes the most of its iconic views, while inside now boasts state-of-the-art production spaces) were up for celebrating Pride with us, They've reserved us our own bar for the afternoon, so we can be physically distanced and use table service for food and drinks.
We will also be welcoming the producers, presenters and guests from Yanga TV's brand new LGBTQ+ show - Slay Storiez - who will be offering us a sneak peek at their groundbreaking work - broadcasting Black queer content to African communities in Britain and globally.
BLKOUT will also be revealing our plans for new events that you won't want to miss - remember, we have no desire to go back to normal, we're after the new extraordinary. Join us for an afternoon of entertainment, laughter, and pride.
