Why guests keep coming back
It's the best occasion in Oklahoma where people who look like me can come together and celebrate Christmas but also Black Excellence.
Christmas is my most favorite time of the year, and The Melanated Christmas Ball makes it even more special.
I absolutely love witnessing and experiencing spaces curated for melanated joy, culture, and community.
