@sliccnthiccdance is a London based club night that specialises in putting on festival parties for the QTIBPOC audiences. We highlight DJs from the QTIBPOC community making sure to take up space, one dance floor or field at a time

The Cocoa Butter Club are proudly sponsored by @nyxcosmetics_uk @nyxcosmetics We have been working very hard for a long time for audiences/brands/organisations to recognise what we do and the continuous graft we put in to platform Black and POC performers in cabaret, performance and nightlife. @thecocoabutterclub don’t stop becuse there is always a story to tell and always a community this isn’t heard. Every time I think that MAYBE we don’t need to exist in the current format, something in the world proves me wrong. So I’m proud to say @nyxcosmetics_uk @nyxcosmetics listened to the message and have supported the cause. The melanated will be celebrated. @blackburlesquefestival @thealbanyse8 31st-2nd Nov 2025 - 40 black burlesque artists will take to the stage and put on a night to remember Get your tickets Blackburlesquefestival.com

Whatever this crazy world throws at us we will take it on with smiles our faces. Every time I think the premise of @thecocoabutterclub may not be so relevant, the world proves me wrong. It is still essential to carve out spaces for community when others are trying their hardest to break community down.
