Anyone missing the good ole days of summer break? 🙋🏽♀️Yeah us too. Meet us outside in August for a camp themed PlayDate at Lake Merritt in Oakland. Come to chill. Come to play. Come to release at the end of your day. We can’t bring back school breaks but we can give you a break at our next PopUp PlayDate.
Playdates aren’t just for kids anymore. Adding a little play to the typical week, PopUp PlayDate is an event that helps Black and brown womxn break up the routine of “adulting” responsibilities with fun and fellowship.
Relieve stress and connect with your inner child through a rotating variety of games, crafts, and activities. PopUp PlayDate is a sacred space for us to let our hair down and feel good through creativity, self-discovery, and fun. While you never know what each PlayDate holds, you can expect to connect and activate your joy.
Meeting Point:
• Address for GPS: 500 Bellevue Avenue
• Look for us near the Kid's Kingdom Playground
• Easy Parking around Grand Ave (crossstreets: Ellita Avenue or Staten Ave) or Bellevue Avenue
What to expect:
Fun. Laughter. Connection. Every PopUp PlayDate is its own special treat. The games and activities will vary from date to date and range from nostalgic and classic to new favorites or original creations. There is almost always a group activity, but don’t worry, no one is ever forced to participate. Just remember, part of the fun is showing up curious for the adventure knowing you’ll get to meet and play with other Black and Brown womxn in a joyful, creative, and collaborative space.
Why we do this:
Because Black and Brown womxn continuously face unrealistic expectations and social pressure on top of historical stressors– all of which detrimentally affect our mental and physical well being. Often expected to be strong and meet everyone’s needs first, Black women hardly get the chance to be carefree, playful, and nurture themselves.
