SOLD OUT. 🖤🍽️

Sunday Dinner at The AUX is officially at capacity — and our hearts are full.

To every supporter, partner, chef, storyteller, and guest — thank you for believing in this experience. This is more than dinner. This is legacy in motion.

We can’t wait to see you all for dinner. ✨

If you’re missing this one, stay close. Sunday Dinner is just getting started.

Love Notes are more than words — they’re memories in motion. Share your voice. Share your heart. Create a keepsake that lasts forever.

Studio 8 is doing a special project for Valentine’s Day and they’d love for you to participate. They are creating space for people to record short video love notes—messages of love, gratitude, or care. Some recordings may be shared as part of a longer video celebrating love in our community, and others can remain private keepsakes.

Created by Black women. Led by Black women. Because our stories, our voices, and our love matter.
