In 2018 I joined Party Noire, an events collective centering Black women, femmes, and queer folks in Chicago, after returning home from university. I'll sum up my college sob story by saying college was very lonely and boring for me. I was so excited to return to the city as an adult me; a me more confident and sure of myself than I was when I was growing up here. Since working with the collective, I've learned some important lessons, gained opportunities, and most importantly, some amazing friends! I feel so grateful to learn from and have the collective—Nick, Rae, Karlie + D'Frantz—in my orbit! Here's my set from our summer szn opener. Come party with us in celebration of all the hard work it's taken to make it to eight years!
