Love, Peace & Spades:

A Rather Fly Game Night

It’s the most wonderful time of the year—Jocelyn C. Chamber’s upcoming birthday + celebration.

We will be at the historic Leimert Park Village for Pop-Up + Play as part of her Black Azz Birthday Bazaar & Holiday Market.

Tis’ the season to join us for a rather fly closeout to the year, mixed with exclusives, curated sounds, and our acclaimed Spades Academy™, as taught by Coach Yazmin Monét Watkins.

Love, Peace & Spades™ is a community of creatives, professionals, and grassroots organizers who curate free, donation-based game experiences to honor, celebrate, and cherish our Black family heirlooms (e.g. Uno, Bid Whist, Tunk (or Tonk), Dominoes, and, of course, Spades).

In addition to gameplay, we offer pop-up experiences, skills-based education, tech/VR integration, a comprehensive directory of Black-owned businesses, game developers, and makers, plus an annual Spades tournament and festival for enthusiastic players.

Our mission is to curate Love, Peace & Spades™ as a modern-day “hush harbor,” a protected space created by and for Black people where we can promote intergenerational communion through music, tech, education, and play.

Love, Peace & Spades™ events and programming address social isolation and trauma commonly associated with past gaming experiences by reestablishing new and healthier relationships to gameplay through ‘Spades Academy,™ a curriculum-based activation for players to develop skills and strategies.
