QTIPOC Meal
Wagamama, 16-18 High Street, Kingston upon Thames, KT1 1EY, Kingston upon Thames, GBAre you LGBTQIA+ and a Person of Colour? Do you want to meet others of similar backgrounds, in a relaxed and welcoming space? Look no further!
After the successful turnout at UK Black Pride, it has come to our attention that there is still demand for specific QTIPOC (Queer, Trans and Intersex People of Colour) spaces. It can be hard to find people of shared experiences across intersections, so we're trialling this space with that in mind.
Join Aaron for a friendly, relaxed meal at Wagamama, located near the river in Kingston. No agenda - just food, fun and friends!
While respectful allies have been welcomed as guests in certain spaces, we kindly ask that this event is a Safe Space for QTIPOC only. POC explicitly includes Mixed Race People Of Colour.
If you have any ideas for what you would like to see for local QTIPOC, we will be more than happy to hear your suggestions. We shall be discussing ideas for upcoming meals, so please bring suggestions for us to vote on.
Nervous about not knowing anyone? Try not to be! You will soon be smiling and feeling more connected to community. We do exist!
Meal is at Wagamama Kingston, 16-18 High Street, Kingston upon Thames, KT1 1EY
Table will be booked in advance, so please kindly keep your RSVP updated, out of respect for Aaron and the venue. We shall meet at the restaurant for 18:30, please arrive on time, so we can order and eat together.
Spaces are limited, please confirm attendance by:
1.) Answering the pre-requisite questions.
2.) Confirming with Aaron you are definitely attending, either by direct message, a comment on here or via email aaron@kingstonlgbtforum.org.ukPlease note, your place is not secure without these communications. If you can no longer make it, please inform Aaron asap and change your RSVP. QTIPOC events are few and far between and this ensures that everyone can access a much-needed, valuable space.
Access: Please see below AccessAble link for access information. Please do not hesitate to reach out regarding any access queries and we shall do our best to get these answered. We strive to make our events as inclusive as possible and understand the additional difficulties faced by disabled QTIPOC.
