#TheDayWithTrae - Guest host of “The Day With Trae” Deaunte Damper was joined today by Clarissa Taylor, visionary behind The Blk Out to discuss her upcoming “Sinners Night” event on Friday, October 3 at Black & Tan Hall in Columbia City.

Taylor described The Blk Out as a movement that combines Black joy and community, creating unforgettable experiences that feel like culture and family reunions. “It's about the community coming out, and it’s a Black thing,” she said. 

As the Blk Out continues to grow, Taylor offered valuable advice for aspiring entrepreneurs, stressing the importance of taking time to plan and map things out for a smoother and more effective process, drawing from her own experiences of learning lessons that could have been avoided with better planning. She articulated the critical need for spaces that prioritize Black and brown individuals, citing historical exclusion from other spaces, explaining that events hosted by The Blk Out are essential for fostering community, strong bonds, and a sense of belonging.

The upcoming "Sinners Night,” a juke joint experience hosted in partnership with Black and Tan Hall. This event aims to celebrate Southern roots with a down-home country party vibe, featuring catfish, a soulful singer, a DJ, and specialty drinks. The speaker also shares how the movie “Fences” inspired her to create a space where people can feel free, unburdened by outside worries, and truly be in the moment with her community. 

Sinners Night is on Friday, October 3, doors opening at 8:00 PM. Attendees can find more information on Instagram @the.blkout and Facebook @TheBlk Out.
