…positive vibes every time we meet as always encouraging #selflove and #selfexpression thru our visuals and we definitely showed that thru this event… Aisle3 Films goes behind the scenes with us and you can check out their video feature on our Shooters Lounge excursions by clicking here. Be on the lookout for more events from them as well as if you interested just go to our Meetup page where we’ve begun to share all events Afrosensual. More details and links coming on that soon.
Denova is going through a transformation from Chaos to JOY. Photographer Costello Knight was inspired to capture this BOLD and BARE direction. She is now to be known as DenovaJOY and see her latest feature in the Garden just click here.
Remembering Hotel Erotica…
A little over a year ago, we hosted an AfroSocial at the old Apache Cafe and Lounge and the theme was Hotel Erotica. It was the brainchild of genius event coordinator earthSista ALLURIS, where Afrosensuality was the key. Featuring earthSistas SimoneMonet and LYRIC TheNudist and earthBrothas KING, it was an evening spent celebrating unbound intimacy and they were the MUSES for inspiration. Brother ANON The Griot is joined by earthSista PrinCess YEME were the hosts and DJ BLUUE moved you with his mix. Shot by Mr. R
