"Just when Mika was starting to feel at home in their own body, they find themselves caught between Simmi who’s sweet like sugar but ain’t a lesbian and Token Toni who loves a bitta bashment and only dates black and brown butches – how can they catch a break when straight women are like junk food?
Original beats collide with poetry and movement in this explosive autobiographical piece of storytelling. Do not miss this ‘dynamic, witty and moving’ (The Scotsman) journey of sexuality, identity and self-discovery."
Thursday 25th November
7pm - 9pm

Our online QTIPoC socials are now every 4th Thursday of the month! We've formed such joyous online connections in the past 18 months during lockdowns, we're stoked to announce we'll be continuing to host virtual space to connect for QTIPoC unable to join us in person!
The fourth Thursdays were voted most popular alternative monthly date to meet online, join us on Zoom if you're able. As ever there'll be space to check in, share news, updates, play games and chat together.
(We are looking to expand our team of volunteers moderators to help manage our online spaces- if you're interested in helping make Rainbow Noir happen please email us here.)
Big Love,
The Rainbow Noir Team
Rainbow Noir is a volunteer led, social, peer support and community action group, based in Manchester for LGBTQI people of colour.
