The Tequila Tales presents: 12 Year Anniversary - The Dozens

In the Black community, "playing the dozens" was more than just trading clever insults - it was an art form that taught us timing, wit, and the delicate dance between humor and truth. As The Tequila Tales celebrates twelve years of keeping it real, we're paying homage to that tradition of turning sharp observations into shared wisdom.

This month, we're exploring how the principles that made the dozens legendary - quick wit, emotional intelligence, and the ability to read a room - translate into our relationships today. From knowing when to clap back and when to fall back, to understanding the fine line between playful banter and pushing too far, we're unpacking the art of engagement in love and life.

• How do we balance keeping it real with keeping the peace?
• When does playful teasing become emotional sparring?
• How do we maintain our wit without losing our wisdom?

Join us for an evening of authentic dialogue about the ways we challenge, check, and champion each other in love. Sometimes the deepest truths come wrapped in laughter, and the sharpest insights emerge from our most candid conversations.

Event Highlights:

• Enjoy the ambiance of an ultra-chic Black Owned Art Event Gallery.
• Live Music by Willie James & The Tribe
• Food and beverages will be available for purchase on-site.
• Stick around after the discussion for the afterparty spun by one of Phoenix’s premier DJs: DJ Sir-PLUS
