What we’re about
**Attention Black Kings and Queens!** Would you like be a part of an atmosphere where black people can connect and build relationships while having fun in Tucson? Anyone who'd like to make new friends, be a part of a community, or just have fun is welcome to join! Events will include brunches, physical activities like hiking and pickle ball, happy hours, game nights, and other fun events around town.
Your Meetup hosts give time, energy, and financial resources as well to continuously host these meetups. As part of our ongoing efforts to keep our community active and engaged, we ask that members RSVP only when you are actually coming, and change the RSVP as soon as you can when you decide not to. Members who no-show at least 3 times to RSVP'd events within a three month period will be automatically removed from the group. If you remain inactive for more than 2 months, please be aware that your account will be marked for removal from the group as well.
If you wish to remain a member kindly log in to participate in our activities or reach out to Taniyah or Ashley via Meetup message or GroupMe.
Want to join the group chat to talk in the meantime in between time, attend informal events offline, seek business recommendations, etc.?

FREE Loft Outdoor Screening of SCREAM!
Main Gate Square, 800 E University Blvd, Tucson, AZ, USWe can’t let the fall go by without making sure we really hang out outside!! It’s October, and you know what that means… SCARY SEASON! Let’s start it off right with a screening of “scream” ! I believe this is the original, but I really haven’t seen any of them so maybe yall are like me lol? Anyways, parking is free at Tyndall garage with validation from any participating merchant  and there is food all and shopping all along University. Sounds like a good time to me.
I’m thinking we can meet early at 6PM and grab seats together! I figure after that some may go and get food somewhere, etc. and come back, but at least we’ll have our seats.
(The actual screening will be held outdoors in the oLiv Courtyard at Main Gate Plaza, 943 E University Blvd (behind Bacio Italiano), near the corner of University Blvd. and Tyndall Ave.)Find more info here —> click here!

Catalina Park Night Walk
Catalina State Park, 11570 N. Oracle Road, Tucson, AZ, USAs a rare turn of events, you all are seeing me post a hike… a night hike! Looks like a cool Tucson experience so I thought I’d try it. Hopefully you all think so too!
According to the site, this hike is approximately 1.5hr. & “begins and ends with a short, steep hill with a slippery gravel from the parking lot, but is largely accessible for many different ages, from young children to the more mature” & “follows a one-mile loop through the towering saguaros and desert landscape, while learning from the ranger about the flora, fauna and geography of the park. Along the route, you’re likely to see desert dwellers up close, including scorpions, bats, night hawks, tarantulas and even javelinas.”
The only price for attendance is admission to the park ($10 entrance fee for vehicles with one occupant and $20 for vehicles with 2-4 occupants).** Registration is required. DO SO ASAP AS THERE ARE ONLY 18 SPACES AVAILABLE CURRENTLY AND ALL DATES UP UNTIL OCTOBER ARE ALREADYY SOLD OUT**
You can do so here !!We’ll meet a bit early at 6:15pm before meeting at the main trailhead parking lot near the restrooms with the ranger at 6:25. For those interested, we can grab ice cream after!
please note that any meetup activity requiring $$ is a self pay situation 😉 Please also note you will be marked as a no show if you do not attend and have not changed your RSVP within 1hr of the start of the event
