CharLIT! We’re back 🔥 After EIGHT YEARS of unwavering support 🌊😉. We’re back with something special 🎁

This year we’re honoring the legacy of #HBCUs with our festival theme: JUNETEENTH HOMECOMNIG. Often imitated, never duplicated, HBCUs have been the fabric and blueprint for the culture - PERIOD.


The fashion, the food, the energy, the mentorship, the bonds, the feeling of family and home - we can’t wait to create another sacred space for us just to be US - and this time with the backdrop of giving HBCUs the shine and flowers they deserve.


In this political climate, now more than ever we MUST commune together, celebrate together and have a damn good time doing it 😎


It doesn’t matter if you went to an HBCU, PWI or no institution at all, the theme is to HAVE FUN showing how innovative, creative and masterful our community always has been and continues to be. We can’t wait to bring you this year’s festival 🌊🌊 here’s a sneak peek of what you can expect:
