MahoganyBooks Black Love Day Game Night

Celebrate Black Love Day at MahoganyBooks and join store owners, Derrick & Ramunda Young, for a special Game Night! As a business, we've celebrated this special day with pride for over 15 years.
Come solo, bring a friend, grab your sis, brother, or come as a group, all are welcome. Ahem, and yes, Black Love Day is a real thing founded over 30 years ago!

Washington DC community activist, breath work leader, and author, Sister Ayo Handy- Kendi, founded Black Love Day in 1993 as an African-centered, alternative to the commercial Valentine’s Day. The focus of the day goes much deeper than romantic love with the spiritual goals of encouraging:
1) Black self-love instead of self-hatred
2) increased peace to stop violence
3) racial healing!
For 24 HOURS on Black Love Day, TAKE ACTION on following 5 Tenets (Loving Acts):
For the Creator
For Self
For the Black Family
For Community & the Black Diaspora
Other races show love in action
Celebrate life and joy by coming to our special game night featuring a game for us, by us.

Grab ya auntie, grab ya homies and come through for a night of celebrating life, and joy and MahoganyBooks! Joy is it's own act of resistance!
