About the Event
We’re excited to invite you to a lively celebration of culture and community, hosted by Muyis, where we’ll come together to enjoy a day filled with delicious food, great music, and the joy of the diaspora! Here’s what you need to know about this festive gathering:
- Culinary Delights: This event is all about celebrating our diverse culinary traditions. Bring your best cultural dish—whether it's savory beef patties, flavorful saltfish, crispy fried chicken, delectable mac ‘n cheese, or a refreshing Sorrel or Rum Punch. Showcase your special recipe that makes the ancestors proud, be it vegan or traditional jollof rice, homemade desserts like chocolate or rum cake, or even plantains and spare ribs. Just leave those market-bought sweets at home—we’re looking for homemade goodness!
- What to Bring: To ensure a great time, please bring your lawn chair and games to enjoy during the event. Your $5 contribution per person helps cover the cost of plates, utensils, cups, and ice. Also, make sure to bring a food or beverage item to share, whether it’s alcoholic or non-alcoholic, to enhance our potluck feast.
- Cultural Pride: Feel free to represent your heritage by wearing your flag or colors. This is a celebration of our shared culture and diverse backgrounds, so let’s show it off!
- Clean-Up and Contribution: We aim to keep Muyis’ yard spotless by leaving no trace. Please add your food item to the Perfect Potluck list to coordinate what’s being brought and ensure a variety of dishes. You can find the list and sign up at Perfect Potluck.
- RSVP and Payment: To secure your spot, please send $5 via CashApp ($DeandraBP), Venmo (DeeWitt), Zelle, GooglePay, or PayPal. Confirm your RSVP and food item by August 25th to be added to the updated list on August 26th.
- Disclaimer: By RSVPing, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Black Everywhere® - Philadelphia group organizers, co-organizers, and/or hosts from any injuries, damages, or liabilities incurred before, during, or after the event.
We’re looking forward to a day of cultural celebration, fantastic food, and community spirit. Let’s come together to make this event truly special!
