Good morning ☀️ and Happy Tuesday😊

Unfortunately our Celebration of Women’s History Month event has been canceled 😔‼️

To those that reached out and said don’t cancel, we appreciate the love, but we can’t host an open mic night without artists or an audience🤦🏾‍♀️‼️

If you were interested in coming or had planned to come we really wish tickets would’ve been purchased prior to the week of the event because we also have food at our events, so an accurate headcount is important so everyone can purchase food without it being too little available ‼️

We will be getting our calendar together for the next few months so please be on the lookout for the location of our next open mic night, upcoming trivia nights, and our Taste of Mahogany’s Spring Edition‼️

To those that purchased a ticket, continuously support us, share our posts, and are rooting for us behind the scenes, THANK YOU SOOOO VERY MUCH🫶🏾

Have a Blessed Day and enjoy the sunshine‼️
✌🏾❤️
