Last night was our FOURTH Happy Black Woman Happy Hour in DC! We had about 35 ladies come out to Masa 14 for our summer gathering. Their rooftop bar was a fantastic space to connect over tasty Asian-Mexican small plates and vodka-spiked strawberry lemonade. (Shoutout to my girl @vivrant_thang for the bar recommendation!) This happy hour was extra awesome as my mom was able to join us again AND it was my last night in the U.S. before my month-long trip to Europe!
Me and my mama! Check out her fitness blog at: livinthefitlife.com
We enjoyed some tasty (and cheap!) food and drink specials, like mojitos and shrimp sushi rolls. Everything was just $4 before 7:00pm!
One of the lovely sisters I met was Aleea Slappy (pictured left in hat), owner of A Happy Slappy Greeting
Cards (ahappyslappygreeting.com). She came down all the way from Philly to join us!

So happy for her.
It was so great to meet Courtney Davis, author of the children’s book, “A is for Anacostia” (pictured middle)
THANK YOU to everyone who came out last night for our fourth HBW happy hour in DC!

I am sorry I missed the Happy Hour in DC. I am in DC but would be happy to travel down South to ATL attend the next HBW event. Please keep us informed.
Rosetta, it was so great to meet you! The HBW was a fantastic event and even though I raced from work, I had an amazing time. I’m looking forward to the next event!
Thanks for joining us, Akua!
So. MUCH. FUN!!! Met great women, unexpectedly ran into my booski, friend and Soror @elledub_1920 (I’m on the right in the green shirt, our other friend and Soror is @waterchylde), had great conversations, great food and great drinks!! MUST. REPEAT!!!
Have a blast in Europe!! Take lots of pictures!!
It was a fantastic evening in a great setting. I’m glad I got to check it out myself!
So many positive women kicking ass and taking names. Loved it! Can’t wait for the next one where I plan to definitely meet more folks!
*looks like Rosetta has some traveling to do…once she returns from her travels!*
I went in there with every intention of meeting more folks. One of these days I’ll learn to mingle.
Read my latest blog post…would you ask strangers for money?
Great pictures. Looks you were all having a good time.
Very nice. If you’re ever in the United Kingdom, feel free (if you want) to give me a shout.

Looks like a great time was had by all! I hope to make it to one of your events one day! And if you’re ever in Atlanta, please let me know!!:)
