Tuesday, June 30

A speed dating event for Black book lovers looking to connect with each other for dating, love & friendship. Are you a single Black book lover looking for the same?
Joy In Repetition invites you to connect with other Black book lovers like yourself through the speed dating method but with books!!
We invite you to bring 1 to 5 of your favorite books and spend time speaking to a roster of other Black book loving cuties about them.
This event is open to all Black LGBTQIA plus folks (especially those that love Black women specifically.)

Process:

  • When you arrive you be given a nametag, index card and pen/pencil.
    Your name tag will denote your name, pronouns, age range of interest and whether you are open to friendship, casual dating or love.

  • One group will remain seated throughout the night, while one group rotates.

  • You will be paired up with a different partner for each round, each round/date will last anywhere between 5 minutes and 10 minutes. (The length for each date will depend on the number of participants.)

  • During each date we invite you to chat about one to three of the books you brought.

  • Participants will write the names of the people they would like to chat with on their index card and we will collect them at the end of the night.

  • All matches will be contacted within 72 hours via email.
