We’re 5 days away from our 5th annual Black Love Summit, and we’re counting down in anticipation of reuniting with day ones, and meeting new Black Love Fam! Get ready for a day of conversation & community a Black Owned Marketplace, and we’re ending the night with a party by RNB House Party. The celebration doesn’t stop at Black Love Summit! As we get ready to sing our hearts out, we’re giving you the deets on RNB House Party, and the founders who are Season 5 “Black Love Doc” alums, Charles and Shireen Kuykendoll.

Meet Charles & Shireen

The Kuykendoll’s are a married couple who wanted to change the narrative that being married meant you can no longer have fun! Charles and Shireen Kuykendoll wed on July 8, 2016 and while they were dating, Shireen planted the idea for Charles to start hosting events. He didn’t really want to take the leap, but the encouragement and support from his future wife gave him the push he needed to host his first RnB HouseParty in NYC in March of 2016. From there, the growth of the event has coincided with the continual growth of their love together. Their purpose is to continue to cultivate events where people could have a good time, dance all night without judgement, and potentially even find their soulmate!

How They Formed RNB House Party

RNB HouseParty was an original idea from host Charles “Beloved” Kuykendoll back in college. He was tired of the typical Phrat parties where everyone strolled, and those who weren’t Greek stood around and watched people stroll. He along with his Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity brothers hosted the first RNBHouseParty at the Alpha House in Greencastle, Indiana in 2008. The party was literally a movie!!! Capping the night was the floor collapsing halfway through the party from the energy and all the dancing that was going on. They still discuss the party to this day!! 

Eight years later when they relaunched RNB HouseParty in NYC, it was in a club, but their goal has always been to recapture the essence of that HouseParty and the vibe that only R&B music can bring. And now they’re bringing the vibes to Black Love Summit for you! Get ready for a unique party experience and the vibes and nostalgia that makes you wonder, “when did you fall in love with R&B?”

We hope you’re ready to party, Black Love Fam! Tell a friend to tell a friend, and get your tickets to Black Love Summit 2022 and RNB House Party here! Join us in Los Angeles on November 12th for a day of Black joy and Black love you won’t forget.
