Kay Trahan

My name is Kay Trahan, and I’m a Black woman and the founder of The Rotation — a platform focused on creating intentional, culture-driven experiences that highlight Black creatives, music, and community.

 

This event is deeply personal to me. I grew up on the feeling of community — being outside, music playing, people connecting, laughing, and just being present. That 90s “picnic in the park” energy where everyone felt comfortable and connected.

 

The Black & Outside Block Party is my way of bringing that feeling back — creating a space where people can come together, feel seen, and experience something that genuinely reflects the culture.

 

This isn’t just about an event — it’s about creating something meaningful while also giving brands the opportunity to show up in a way that feels natural, supportive, and aligned with the community.

 

I’m intentional about every detail and committed to executing an experience that is organized, impactful, and memorable for everyone involved
