By night, she’s Cammie—a sought-after vibe model and discreet escort—and by day, she’s a server and bartender, quietly longing for something stable. Tim, a handler for music artists, knows how to solve everyone else’s problems, but hasn’t gotten close to a woman in a long time. When they meet at a rapper’s wild birthday party, an unexpected connection burns into something slow and soft, yet risky, forcing them to face their fears and themselves.You don’t need to have read the book to attend this event, so bring your boo, get your girls, or treat yourself to a solo date. This is an introvert-friendly experience.I hope to see you there!—Josie ✍??Agenda?: 08:00 PM - 08:20 PMarrival, mingle, eat and drink, photosInfo: There will be conversation prompts available.?: 08:20 PM - 08:30 PMauthor reading?: 08:30 PM - 09:30 PMmoderated, spoiler-free conversation with Josie and Ashley + Q&A?: 09:30 PM - 10:00 PMdiscounted book sale and signing, mingle, eat and drink, photos - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/alexandria/let-me-handle-your-heart-an-intimate-black-love-day-literary-conversation/100001980203247218 - **Event Categories**: art, literary-art, entertainment, music, galentines-day, parties - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 35, max: 35, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Alexandria - **state**: VA - **country**: United States - **location**: 2417 Mt Vernon Ave - **lat**: 38.8274531 - **long**: -77.0586493 - **full address**: 2417 Mt Vernon Ave, 2417 Mount Vernon Avenue, Alexandria, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Let Me Handle Your Heart: An Intimate Black Love Day Literary Conversation - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events6/banners/2f4376eef4292d02dc64a17b3b761005d6d8154368e68c3b574cca951754b188-rimg-w1200-h600-dc2d2d2c-gmir.jpg?v=1768724163 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Let Me Handle Your Heart: An Intimate Black Love Day Literary Conversation being held? - **A:** Let Me Handle Your Heart: An Intimate Black Love Day Literary Conversation takes place on Fri, 13 Feb, 2026 at 08:00 pm to Fri, 13 Feb, 2026 at 10:00 pm at 2417 Mt Vernon Ave, 2417 Mount Vernon Avenue, Alexandria, United States. - **Q**: How much do tickets cost for Let Me Handle Your Heart: An Intimate Black Love Day Literary Conversation? - **A:** Tickets for Let Me Handle Your Heart: An Intimate Black Love Day Literary Conversation are priced at USD 35 per person.
