Welcome to "Zora's Room," a dynamic event series inspired by the vibrant legacy of Zora Neale Hurston. Our gathering starts with an immersive social hour where creativity and community flourish. Engage in lively games and explore augmented reality experiences while savoring signature, handcrafted cupcakes. As the evening unfolds, we invite you to immerse yourself in the art of storytelling. Our lineup of storytellers will share short, captivating tales that resonate with the spirit of adventure and honesty that defined Hurston's work.

"Zora's Room" is a celebration of ancestral veneration, Black womanhood, and the rich cultural tapestry of our community, infused with the mystique of Hoodoo and the curiosity of an anthropologist. Join us in this bold, creative space where Black, queer folks from the greater Baltimore area come together to honor our roots, express our truths, and forge new connections. Come experience the magic and camaraderie that make "Zora's Room" an unforgettable adventure.
