In 3️⃣ days

24/08/2023

Sometimes art requires us to take a break to live our lives. To have new moments to later process and communicate.

If you’re enjoying that season, come to enjoy and … perhaps find inspiration, at the Other Mondays open mic next week.

Other phases in our lives can only be described as our renaissance periods. That means your bursting out the seams with writing and sounds and scenes. You’re exploring and honing your craft.

If you’re in enjoying a renaissance, this Monday, we warmly welcome you to imprint us with your masterpieces.

Either way, seasons greetings 🎄

THIS IS GOLD BEAMS IN NEW YORK! A NY x Oakland Collaboration. Read how we did it 👇🏿.

As you may know from our constant ‘YERRRR’s’ and ‘YOOO’s’, Gold Beams is ran by 2 New Yorkers. It has been our dream to produce events in the homeland ju heard 🏡?

During our beginning of the year planning sessions we said that 2023 will be the year that we expand to the Empire State🗽. One thing was super important. We wanted to pay homage to Oakland, the city where Gold Beams was born, raised and loved ❤️.

So, we hit up super star and founder of .circle, , and proposed a collaboration 👩🏿‍💼💼🤝🏿. If you don’t know is an Oakland native doing BIG things in New York. And if you live under a 🪨, .circle is another production company especially known for its comedy events that happen in NY, Oakland, LA and other cities around the country 👀.

Shout out to Black creatives making careers from their art 👏🏿🙌🏿,

was planning their .circle anniversary comedy special and after party in June. We absolutely wanted to be a part of magic. As we began our partnership talks, we found out that our friend, Bay Area native and killer DJ was on the line up. Which is crazy because she was the person who recommended that we reach out to in the first place 🤯!

So boom, that’s the story of how 2 New Yorkers in Oakland partnered with Bay Area natives living in New York. Some would say it was destined. Check out the pictures to see how great the event was 🥹.

And we’re just getting started. We plan to host more events in New York and BEYOND ✈️.

Hop in the car and put your seatbelts on because you’re coming with us 🚗💨.

21/06/2023

All we want to do is produce events that make you feel comfortable and happy. I mean… we also want to blow your minds, but for the most part, we want to make you feel comfortable and happy 😜.

The next Other Monday open mic is July 24th.

So I’m 31 and I’ve never had an orgasm before 🫠😬. For most of my life I’ve been super ashamed about it. A few months ago I decided to open up to some friends and I was SHOCKED when some of them told me they hadn’t either. A woman told me she had her first orgasm at 66 🤯! In Real Life: A Conversation Between Black Mxn and Black Womxn was created to build a stronger connection between the sexes. For us to understand each other on a deeper level. I want us all to have happy, healthy and pleasurable sex. So this next IRL is meant for us to get more connected to pleasure in our bodies. And to communicate about our sexuality with each other. The womxn’s event is on Sept. 21st. The mxn’s event is curated by our event partners, @create_the_space. It’ll be on Sept 22nd. And the all ed event will be that Sunday on Sept. 25th. We have some AMAZING segment leaders that will walk us through things with care and intention 🥰. Come through and lets get to know ourselves and each other better. 🎟’s in bio 💋.

Backstory below 👇🏿. Watch this archive footage from the vault. When she first moved to the Oakland in 2018, Tayleur performed and met artist friends at the Speak on It open mic at Leige in Downtown Oakland. But that wasn’t the only way she met artists. Tayleur met @toneoliver while he was performing on BART. Tone was killing it. She told him about Second Mondays happening at her house and invited him to pull up. This video is him pulling up 🤯. This is the archive forreal (more to come btw) 😏. Since this video, @toneoliver has founded @toneoliverproductions and was the contracted film production company 🎥 for our inaugural Fourth Mondays Concert at the California Ballroom last year. When your here your family. @toneoliver has accomplished so much since this video. We love to see it. Watching Black creatives make careers from their art is our kink 👅 💦 😘. We can’t believe we’re saying bye to this space 🥹. The 🎟’s to the Second Mondays on August 8th are in our bio. Cop you some so we can bond and make history together 🙌🏿. . . . #kickback #goldbeams #secondmondays #vintage #artists #performance #performancevideo #documentary #goodtimes #history #archive #oakland #bayarea #secondmondays

When I recorded this video, I had just quit my job. I had no money, no savings and was living across the country from my family. I was scared AF. This was 2018. I had this cute open concept apartment with a 2 story living room. I was inviting friends to the crib to share their art and eat free pizza and beer. On the 5th month there were 50 people in the apartment. It was like a huge love jones, @nuyoricanpoetscafe house party. I had no idea what was blooming into. I had quit my job on the 5th month and I was so nervous to tell people. I felt ashamed. I also didn’t want to say it out lout because I had no idea how I was going to pay rent or survive. Mid event I felt the urge to tell everyone. Even my Roomates didn’t know 😬. To my surprise when I told everyone, they started clapping and cheering. I was so ready for people to tense up, but they were proud of me. I cried. I imagined a lot of responses and that definitely was not one of them. On August 1st, I’m moving and the chapter of this apartment closes. Please help me celebrate the move by purchasing a gift from my Amazon registry in my bio and the @Gold.Beams bio. Most things are between $9 and $30. Also, @Gold.Beams will be posting vintage videos of the beginnings of Second Mondays. It’s giving nostalgic archive. Thank you guys for bringing this dream to life with me. Next stop… Def Poetry Jam / Apollo vibes 😘. 🎥: @kareem_thedirector

When I recorded this video, I had just quit my job. I had no money, no savings and was living across the country from my family. I was scared AF. This was 2018. Shout out to the legendary Speak on It open mic for introducing me to my new artists friends at the time. I had this cute open concept apartment with a 2 story ceiling living room.I was inviting friends to the crib to share their art and eat free pizza and beer. Most people came by themselves. We all made friends. The first month there were 7 people. Two months later there were 15. On the 5th month there were 50 people in the apartment. It was like a huge love jones, Nuyorican cafe house party. I had no idea what was growing. It was the coolest thing. I had quit my job on the 5th month and I was so nervous to tell people. I felt ashamed. I also didn’t want to say it out lout because I had no idea how I was going to pay rent or survive. You know unemployment don’t pay out if you quit. I was shook lmaoooo. Mid event I felt the urge to tell everyone. Even my Roomates didn’t know 😬. To my surprise when I told everyone, they started clapping and cheering. I was so ready for people to tense up, but they were proud of me. I cried. I imagined a lot of responses and that definitely was not one of them. The birth of Second Mondays, and now Gold Beams, started in this Oakland apartment. By accident, but also by #GodsPlan. I’m proud to say starting in October we’re giving $2,000 a month for 6 months to 3rd to 1st place winning artists. That’s $12,000. Thats #growth. On August 1st, I’m moving and the chapter of this apartment closes. It was a little unexpected but remember what I said about Gods Plan. I had been ready to live on my own but not acting on it. My landlord selling the condo was God pushing me out the nest. Please help me celebrate the move by purchasing a gift from my Amazon registry in my bio and the @Gold.Beams bio. Most things are between $9 and $30. Also, @Gold.Beams wi
