"Dark & Divine: Tasting Her Words" pairs poetry and pleasure through a chocolate-tasting session that takes participants on a sensory experience of Black women creatives, including Solange Knowles, Ntzoke Shange, and more. 

The workshop, led by Dasia Hood, opens with a welcome and intention-setting, sharing the inspiration to honor Black women poets and lyricists by indulging in chocolate—the muses of the mind and tongue. Taste and poetry merge to explore themes of resilience, creativity, and sensuality while bringing mindfulness to indulgence through an ethical chocolate tasting.

Dasia Hood is performing spoken word at The Melanin Affair for a night of Black Excellence, Fashion, and Entertainment.

Join me for the ultimate indulgence - the limited edition chocolate sour cherry donut at Beyond Amazing Donuts, glazed with Divine Chocolate! Meet me at Beyond Amazing Donuts at noon to try the featured flavor and purchase a signed copy of my poetry book, Lovings You.

Join us for the closing reception of RED: Rated R, an immersive exhibition by Lorem Ipsum, curated by Dasia Hood’s Dark & Divine, where sensuality meets artistry. Dive deeper into the art with an artist panel discussion moderated by Dasia Hood.
