Tequila Tales - Spring Fling

Tequila Tales presents:

The Spring Fling

As winter's grip loosens, a feverish energy takes over. The earth's reawakening stirs our primal yearnings - to connect, explore, and fully embody the passions this sensual season awakens.

For some, spring kindles cravings for new romantic possibilities. The chance to shed stillness and immerse in the thrill of flirtation and untapped potential. For others, it's an invitation to rekindle the spark within committed bonds. To breathe new life into stagnant intimacies and passions.

  • How do you balance the enticing excitement of fresh connections and protecting yourself from potential heartache?

  • How do you disrupt routine to revive that "spark" over time?

  • How do you create a safe space to openly embrace your sensuality authentically?

Join us on Thursday, April 11th for a one of a kind discussion moderated by the "know-it-all" Isaac Paul at ONYX Gallery.

Event Highlights:

  • Enjoy the ambiance of an ultra-chic Black Owned Art Event Gallery.

  • Food and beverages will be available for purchase on-site.

  • Stick around after the discussion for the afterparty spun by one of Phoenix’s own premier DJs: DJ Sir-PLUS

HOS x Onyx Art Gallery. Book Club discussion of Tia Williams' "A Love Song For Ricki Wilde"

HOS x Onyx Art Gallery. Book Club discussion of Tia Williams' "A Love Song For Ricki Wilde"

An epic love story one hundred years in the making…

Leap years are a strange, enchanted time. And for some, even a single February can be life-changing.

Ricki Wilde has many talents, but being a Wilde isn’t one of them. As the impulsive, artistic daughter of a powerful Atlanta dynasty, she’s the opposite of her famous socialite sisters. Where they’re long-stemmed roses, she’s a dandelion: an adorable bloom that’s actually a weed, born to float wherever the wind blows. In her bones, Ricki knows that somewhere, a different, more exciting life awaits her.

When regal nonagenarian Ms. Della invites her to rent the bottom floor of her Harlem brownstone, Ricki jumps at the chance for a fresh beginning. She leaves behind her family, wealth, and chaotic romantic decisions to realize her dream of opening a flower shop. And just beneath the surface of her new neighborhood, the music, stories and dazzling drama of the Harlem Renaissance still simmers.

One evening in February as the heady, curiously off-season scent of night-blooming jasmine fills the air, Ricki encounters a handsome, deeply mysterious stranger who knocks her world off balance in the most unexpected way.

Set against the backdrop of modern Harlem and Renaissance glamour, A Love Song for Ricki Wilde is a swoon-worthy love story of two passionate artists drawn to the magic, romance, and opportunity of New York, and whose lives are uniquely and irreversibly linked.
