There's an event I'm interested in attending. It kind of fell into my lap. It would open doors to a social group I've been interested in for years.

I have concerns and will probably not go.

I don't know anyone. The restaurant slated for the event is one I'm unfamiliar with. From looking at the attendees, it doesn't look like there will be any Black people there.

So my anxious introverted behind is going to sit this out...maybe, probably.

I already have anxiety around eating food in a new place that I probably don't like...and then the potential of being around people I don't know who probably lack the cultural awareness to make me feel safe. Le sigh.

Any biracial people with Black mamas going?

Is it possible to go early and observe before joining in? I have/have not attended several Meetup functions using that strategy approach.

Also I discovered regulars sometimes just show up for repeating events.

Waiting is understandable & reasonable.

When I last checked the list they looked either white and young or white and old. 🥴
