Her Way celebrates Tampa Bay's Black millennial sapphics

Last year, friends SheShe and P (AKA Studs Don’t Cheat) started the Lez Lips podcast catered towards Black lesbian millennials in Tampa Bay. At Tampa Pride, they put on a women-focused event with DJ Donnie Luv that was so successful, the three immediately decided to work together again.

DJ Donnie Luv named the group Her Way and the three got to work. Her Way aims to create an inclusive space where queer women and nonbinary people in their late 20s and up can party and flirt without having to sort through a crowd of college students and gay men to find one another, and where Black queer and trans people can feel welcomed.

“If you see Her Way’s name behind it, as a person of color, you’re comfortable here,” DJ Donnie Luv told the Sapphic Sun.

Their latest event is for everyone who wants another shot at finding a Valentine, or just wants to keep celebrating queer love.

Tickets start at $20 for Luv Her Galentine’s R&B Party happening Saturday, Feb. 28 in Tampa.
