You don't need to:
You just need to be a women in your 20s or 30s who wants to meet people, try something new, and build genuine friendships.
Many women come to their first event alone - and that's completely okay.
Friendship doesn't always happen instantly.
Sometimes it starts with sitting at a table with strangers.
Sometimes it's a shared laugh over a bad game of cards.
Sometimes it's coffee, a walk, or trying something new together.
That's what we're creating here.
