This event will include
What Is A Munch?
A munch is a gathering of kinky people in a vanilla setting, usually held at a bar or restaurant. Munches are social opportunities to meet people who are interested in or are active participants in the lifestyle. It's also a way to establish yourself in the community and get vetted for lifestyle parties and events.
What Makes BGM Different?
BGM is specifically designed to be a safe space for Black women and femmes to build their kinky community and enjoy food, drinks, and juicy conversations! Often at general munches, Black women tend to be the only Black person there unless they bring a friend to tag along. This sometimes leads to uncomfortable and fetishized conversations with other attendees which can be a HUGE deterrent from the lifestyle, especially for newbies. Other munches are also often held at dive bars and hole-in-the-walls, which can be fun at times, but can also be cringy and aren't the best places to wear your cute new outfit!
BGM aims to provide an elevated experience for high level, ambitious, and powerhouse Black women who value luxury, elegance and discretion. This event is a welcoming space to freely ask questions, share experiences, and to connect to valuable resources without fear of judgment, shame or guilt. At BGM we also play fun games and go through our kinky conversation starters to get everyone engaged and connected. So don't worry about attending the event alone, you're sure to make a new friend or two...or three!
