Dulcé Sloan is one of the sharpest, fastest rising voices in comedy. *Bust Magazine* calls her “comedy gold” while *Indiewire* describes her as “a fresh and unique voice in the world of stand-up comedy.” She was included in *Variety Magazine*’s prestigious *Top 10 Comedians To Watch* list, and *SLiNK Magazine* just crowned her “The New Queen of Comedy.” *Rolling Stone* recently hailed her as one of the *10 Comedians You Need To Know* declaring “she speaks and they simply fall in line behind her.” Dulcé has been a correspondent on *The Daily Show with Trevor Noah* since 2017. Her segments, including “9-1-1 For White People Emergencies” and “Dumb Solutions to Policing Problems” have garnered millions of views. This November, she starred alongside Malin Akerman, Alec Baldwin, and Bella Thorne in the action-comedy feature film *Chick Fight*, with *The Hollywood* Reporter declaring “Dulcé Sloan…not just steal(s) the movie but make(s) sure that no one else even comes close.” Additionally, Dulcé launched her podcast *That Black Ass Show* on Starburns Audio in April 2020. Every Wednesday, Sloan talks to special guests to celebrate some of America’s iconic black shows that have and continue to shape the world. From 90’s classics like the *Fresh Prince of Bel Air* and *Martin*, to modern shows like *Insecure* and *Atlanta*, Sloan does a deep dive into the show’s origin, classic moments and fun facts that everyone can enjoy. In October 2019, Dulcé’s *Comedy Central Presents* stand-up special premiered on Comedy Central. *The New York Times* included the half hour in their “Best Comedy of 2019” roundup. She will also be seen in the cast of the upcoming animated FOX series *The Great North,* joining an ensemble of comedy heavyweights including Jenny Slate, Nick Offerman, Megan Mullally, and Paul Rust. The series, from the creators of FOX’s hit animated show *Bob’s Burgers*, will premiere in 2021 and has already been picked up for a second season. Dulcé has “a voice that doesn’t pander or bully but comes at you straight. With a chaser of Joy,” according to Ozy.com. She offers a fresh and honest perspective that speaks truth to power and eviscerates the status quo. She can currently be seen in OWN’s four-part series *Black Women Own the Conversation*, in which the world sees black women coming to together to talk about the issues that are important to them. In addition to *The Daily Show*, she has made multiple appearances as a correspondent on “E! News Daily.” She has also been featured on several comedy fan-favorite TV series including Comedy Central’s *This Week at the Comedy Cellar*, TBS’ *Conan*, Amazon Studios’ *Inside Jokes*, TruTV’s *Comedy Knockout*, and MTV’s *Acting Out*. She was also a cast member on the FOX pilot *Type-A* opposite Eva Longoria and the Amy Poehler project *Dumb Prince* for NBC. Dulcé is a favorite on the comedy festival circuit, with appearances at *The Edinburgh Fringe Festival*, *The Melbourne Comedy Festival*, and the Montreal, Toronto, and Vancouver installments of the *Just For Laughs Festival*. She tours nationally and internationally, performing her signature stand-up to sold out audiences at clubs and theatres across the country.

Think again, and join us for a screening of Pixar’s Oscar-winning film, Soul. Jamie Foxx voices Joe Gardner, a part-time music teacher and aspiring jazz pianist, whose life is dedicated to making it as a professional musician. On the day of his big break, he is nearly killed in a freak accident. On a conveyor belt to the “Great Beyond”, Joe escapes to the “Great Before”, a bardo in reverse, where the unborn are prepared for life on Earth. There he meets “22”, voiced by Tina Fey, and together they find out what’s makes life worth living. It’s rare that any film, animated or live action, can be so entertaining while simultaneously giving you so much to think about. Stick around after the screening for a discussion of how the film speaks to you.

***PLEASE*** be sure to RSVP if you plan to come so I can give the restaurant advance notice! Come on out and join us for a fun evening of conversation, laughs, friends (new and old), and delicious food. If you're looking for a chill, no-pressure event geared entirely toward meeting new furs in a low-key setting, look no further! Fursuiting is NOT allowed at this event, but tails and accessories are perfectly fine. These meets will be recurring every month at the IHOP in Fairfax. We might switch up locations in the future, but for now, this one seems to work great for us. We will begin to congregate at the benches out front around 6:30 PM, and heading inside at 7 PM. If you have any questions, or need any help locating us once you arrive, please message me on Telegram - @VelvetyFoxxo, or in the event chat on Meetup. Can't wait to see you all there!!

***Spirit Island*** is a complex and thematic cooperative game about defending your island home from colonizing Invaders. Players are different spirits of the land, each with its own unique elemental powers. Every turn, players simultaneously choose which of their power cards to play, paying energy to do so. Using combinations of power cards that match a spirit's elemental affinities can grant free bonus effects. Faster powers take effect immediately, before the Invaders spread and ravage, but other magics are slower, requiring forethought and planning to use effectively. In the Spirit phase, spirits gain energy, and choose how / whether to Grow: to reclaim used power cards, to seek for new power, or to spread presence into new areas of the island.--
