A Sanctuary for Black Women to Build, Connect, and Thrive
In a world that often leaves Black women feeling isolated, unheard, and overburdened, The Gathering Table is a space of belonging—a place where we come together to nourish, support, and uplift one another.
This is more than a social group. It’s a movement rooted in collective care, intergenerational wisdom, and the power of Black sisterhood. Whether you’re looking for connection, career networking, professional and personal development, or simply a safe space to breathe, you belong here.
Why We Exist
We are living through uncertain times, and the next four years will bring challenges that deeply impact our lives, families, and communities. But even in uncertainty, we have the power to rebuild, resist, and reimagine. The Gathering Table was created to be a source of strength, knowledge, and mutual support as we navigate this moment together.
What We Offer
- Community & Connection – A space to form meaningful friendships and build a strong sisterhood.
- Skill & Knowledge Sharing – Members share expertise in areas like financial literacy, homesteading, career development, and more.
- Mutual Aid & Resource Sharing – Support in times of need, whether that’s job leads, mentorship, or direct assistance.
- Empowerment & Advocacy – A space to strategize, take action, and prepare for the social and political shifts ahead.
Join Us
This is a collaborative space, shaped by the women in it. Whether you’re here to mentor, learn, share, or simply be in community, you are welcome at The Gathering Table.
