For this year's Week of Visibility for Nonmonogamy, Smartt Love Therapy is bringing together Oakland's Black & Polyamorous Community.
About this Event

Calling all BLACK, Polyamorous/ Consensually Nonmonogamous Families (Polycules, Couples, Individuals) in Oakland, California and the Bay Area!! The founders of Smartt Love Therapy, Onaje & Raquelle A. Smartt are inviting you to come together, build community, and celebrate love in all its forms for FREE.

We'll have Pizza from Arizmendi, Polyamorous Flag Giveaways, games and more! Please select a ticket per attending member in your party and choose whether each person wants cheese w/toppings or vegan pizza (we need this headcount to know how much pizza to get, but pizza is first come, first serve). Each ticket has the option for donation, but your presence is the appreciated gift!

A more specific location will be emailed to you in your ticket confirmation.

Remember to bring your Picnic Blankets and Water Bottles!
