// Who We Are
Adult Supervision Needed (ASN) is a Black queer owned event brand dedicated to creating and cultivating a beautiful safe space for beautiful Black queer people. Founded by Ayana Gidron, ASN was built with intention — a place where you don't have to perform, shrink, or pretend.
You show up as yourself, and that's more than enough.
From intimate listening experiences to signature nightlife events, ASN centers Black queer joy through music, connection, and curated vibes. Every gathering is crafted with care so our community can feel seen, held, and free.
"ASN isn't just an event. It's a home for us."
// What We Stand On
Black & POC queer spaces where people can show up fully — no toning it down, no asking permission. Just presence.
We exist because of community and for community. No gatekeeping, no performance — just people showing up for each other.
Music, connection, and curated vibes. Every event is crafted to center Black queer joy in a way that feels real and alive.
Every gathering is crafted with care so our community can feel seen, held, and free. You are safe here.
Rooted in Atlanta culture and people — now bringing intentional experiences to Charlotte and cities near you. There's a seat saved wherever you are.
ASN was built without asking for approval. We move with intention, love, and zero apologies. The same energy we bring — we invite you to bring.
// How We Show Up
From nightlife to daytime pop-ups, private events to community gatherings — ASN creates the kind of experiences people talk about long after they leave.
