QTIPOC Meal - Ocean Basket
Ocean Basket, 52A High Street, Kingston Upon Thames, KT1 1HN,, Kingston, 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 Ocean Basket, 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. At each event, we discuss venues 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!
