While the #BIPOCVampDay organizers raised money for the National Sickle Cell Disease Association during last weekend's festivities, we got local and decided to raise money for Cincinnati's very own sickle cell charity.

Our juke joint for #BIPOCVampDay weekend was such a vibe! While events like these are incredibly stressful to put together, we’ve cultivated a small community of like-minded people who understand the whimsy I’m trying to spread. Together, we make magic. 💖💖💖
