Peace y’all 💫 I’m very happy to announce the start of our Rent Party Series, in collaboration with @_trihouse ! Everything going up but these wages, so we minus whale go up too, for ourselves & each other. Swipe or read below to get a better understanding of our intentions 🙂‍↕️ — What, for Who, & Why? ⤵️ Thru 2026, we’ll be assisting local Black LGBTQIA+ community members who may be in need of urgent housing funds by hosting rent parties for mutual aid. This is to help combat housing insecurity & directly support our community. What is mutual aid? ⤵️ Mutual aid is how we can support each other in ways that are not only monetary, but with practical offerings that can contribute to the collective well-being. It could look like increasing access to food, donating and exchanging clothes, sharing free resources, etc. — in this instance, we’ll be raising funds to assist folks with housing costs. When & How? ⤵️ Parties will be announced at random, but typically towards the end of the month. Each post will be an inquiry for whoever may be in need of emergency housing assistance, and will be chosen at a first come, first serve basis. How you could help! ⤵️ ✧ DJ!! ✧ Volunteer at an event ✧ Donate towards mutual aids ✧ Share and engage with posts ✧ Share alternative resources that could help support the community — If you’d like more details on how you could help out at events, or have any interest in being involved, feel free to DM or click the link in bio to access the Trihouse Volunteer Request form! — #rentparty #mutualaid #richmondva #fucktheselandlords

Peace 🌞 I felt called to do an updated intro post, so here it goess. My name is Sunny, I’m a multi-passionate creative from the DMV w/ focuses in visual arts (@s_nn.yside ), DJing (@djbbythey ), & third space curation for Black LGBTQIA+ folx (@_trihouse ) 💫 I’ve been a creative since I can remember, but became more consistent w/ my arts practices back in 2020 — it started w/ creating digital portraits using my iPhone 8 & a homemade stylus, to now w/ numerous forms of expression. Mediums I enjoy include pen illustrations, acrylic, collage, beaded jewelry, print making, nature photography, and hand-painted clothing/accessories. I founded Trihouse back in 2021, originally dedicated to being a space for me to share my artwork. Along my journey, as a creative and Black Queer & Trans person, my desire for safe spaces to build community in was what pushed me to create a space for us. In 2023, Trihouse officially launched w/ our first event in Richmond, VA! Since then, we’ve been building, growing, & doing our best to maintain a safe space for our Black Queer & Trans community. Past events have included elements like intentional prompts, making beaded jewelry, crafting custom teas blends, planting seeds, writing love letters to yourself, themed parties, a night market, outdoor movie night, food & clothing drive, & so much more. My DJ journey began in 2023– my love for music, community, & the ability to blend my favorite songs is what kept me consistent, esp being able to make my own Go-Go flips. Some of my favorite genres to mix are Go-Go (ofc), R&B, Southern & Alternative Hip-Hop, Afrobeats, Baltimore & Jersey Club, House, Atlanta & Miami Bass, Baile Funk, Reggaeton, & much more. Check out any of the pages I tagged above to get more familiar w/ me & my creative journey 🫀 thank y’all for being here! — #blackqueercreatives #blackqueerdjs #blacktranscreatives #blacktransdjs #blackqueerevents
