About us

Introvert or extrovert, you might be a little awkward or shy. You meet people all the time, but you may find it hard to make real connections because you can be shy. And people often mistake your shyness for being uptight, snooty, aloof, unapproachable, weird, or uninterested.

But that's not you at all. You're compassionate. Considerate. Thoughtful. Caring. Adventurous. Creative. Quirky. Unique. You’re awesome. And you're not alone.

I've been judged for being "different"--left out of groups, wondering why no one seemed to “get” me. And I've always wanted friendships with Black folks who could look beyond stereotypes and connect with the real me.

You too may want those kinds of friendships. This group is the place for that. Let's have the relationships we want. Let's be the supportive, life-loving women and men we want to be. Let's share our stories with others who can relate and want to have fulfilling, honest friendships, too. And let's have a great time while doing that. We're unique, and that's a wonderful thing. We're Black Unicorns. Let's get to know each other.

No matter your sexual orientation, gender or lack thereof, or religious belief, you’re welcome here!

    A FEW RECOMMENDATIONS:

    1. Monica S. - Omg these guys are absolutely amazing.. They are fun talented men that put their pride into their work. I am so glad we got to go and have such a great time. Always making you feel comfortable and unique.. great group... I will definitely be attending more shows when they come around our area.. my girls best be hiring you and your dancers if I ever get engaged…

    2. Alisha E - I'm not sure how anyone could have a bad thing to say about this. When my MOH booked this for my bachelorette I was like " ugh, men shoving their parts around"... boy, was I wrong! From the moment these men stepped on stage, I couldn't stop giggling, and screaming! They could’ve been the ugliest men alive, and still made it a fun night! One of the best nights of my life by far, I've never laughed so hard! The music is great! Just an all-around great atmosphere! I can't wait for another girl’s night event so I can go again ha!

    3. Kay L - These guys are amazing! Saw them for the first time last night and was blown away. Ladies if you haven't seen these guys you MUST! Besides these guys being incredibly hot with superhuman strength, they are talented dancers and true showmen. I regret not having the balls to sit in the hot seat. Next time I go I will happily get tossed around like a ragdoll.

    4. Tamara V. - This was amazing. You get WAY more for your money and it's much more personal. You get photos and hot seats and dances without paying like $200.
