The mixer was filled with high energy and participation!

One young man even gifted his prize to friends to celebrate their love—what a thoughtful gesture!
Taboo-D a Eureka Theater group that debunks societal myths of disability. Came and did a skit on Consent. We made it interactive and had participants joining total improv. We had laughs and a few great boundaries on consent, personal touch and rejection.
The dance was so much fun. I had an absolute blast. I am grateful for the opportunity to help spread Love in Humboldt. I included some adorable moments captured with permission from participants and/or their parents. It was especially cute when everyone wanted to take selfies with me! ✨
Love in Humboldt is a grass roots movement to help adults with disabilities in Humboldt make new friends and meet a good match for possible romantic connection.
Thank you once again to all who contributed to making this event such a success. Here’s to spreading love and joy in our community! ❤️ We will be doing more mixers at the dances in the future and a speed dating event at Disability Pride!
