Black Women & The Men Who Love Them: Speed-Mixer Singles Event

---

PLEASE READ FULL DESCRIPTION BELOW

SEVERAL OF OUR PAST EVENTS WERE SOLD OUT! During our events, people have had so much fun that they stayed behind after the event to have dinner/drinks with several of the attendees as a group! This singles speed mixer will combine the elements of speed dating and also a social mixer. Bring your business cards as this is also an opportunity for networking and meeting new friends.

We will start with free time for mingling followed by a few rounds of a group icebreaker activity and games. Attendees will then have a few rounds of 7 minutes to chat with anyone of their choice and at the sound of the bell will select another person to chat with. It is better than speed dating as you are not obligated to sit and speak with all attendees! No need to be nervous, just remember that everyone is in the same boat. All you have to do is show up and just start talking to anyone even someone of the same gender! Come with an open mind and positive outlook as you never know who you may meet and where it may go.

TICKET INCLUDES AN ALCOHOLIC/NON-ALCOHOLIC DRINK.

Attendees are encouraged to initiate exchanging contacts at the event. (If you are asked for your contact information but do not feel a romantic vibe with the person, you can always let them know that you would be happy to exchange contacts but that you feel more of a friendship vibe). If you want to be connected with someone but are not sure if they are interested, feel free to send us an email after the event we will try to play matchmaker after the event is over! Make sure to pay attention to attendees names and a description of what they look like.

Feel free to provide honest feedback to the host so future events and attendees can benefit.
Dress to impress! No extremely casual clothing.
The event will start promptly so please arrive early. Parking can be found in nearby parking lots and side streets.
If the gender ratio is very unbalanced, the event will be postponed.
