Been there, thought that
Ladies, ladies, ladies. We have all been there: seeing a girl walk by and rolling your eyes at her outfit even though deep down inside, you fucking love those jeans on her. Or how about the other day one of the women you look up to got your dream job, and now you don't feel supportive anymore, for some reason "she's a bit bitchy." Well, these events are curated so we can gather around the table and cut all that shit out. We've created events that focus on rising up in our opinions and also our listening. It's a moment where we can be real and not be hesitant to share what's really in our hearts. Let's not let insecurities get the best of us. These gatherings are built to foster a foundation for self-love, communal support, and storytelling. Plus, you get a badass picture of yourself...so, suck up the insecurities and do it!
We create safe, non-judgemental spaces for you chica
"The women that are here, we all end up being family...We are learning to meet each other as women, and not as what we do." -GIGI MCMILLAN

Doesn't matter your age, shape, or color. We're all women here.
"Everybody has a positive attitude and it is totally multicultural. That itself is a very positive thing for me because we can learn a lot from different cultures all the time because each culture has its own contribution to enrich our lives. So long as we respect each other and be non-judgmental, that’s the key. Then we help each other to grow and support.." -SUSAN

What the hell is a portrait event?
You'll gather with 10 other women who are all feeling shy and awkward to convene. We'll have a topic that we'll all tackle together like sexuality, mental health, or even discussions around feeling like an outcast. You'll come in, grab your drank, get some food (please don't munch on things like a bird, let's face it, we all want to pile the plates high), and mingle with women who are also introverted, had their boyfriend tell them to get out of the house, contemplated staying home and watching another episode on Netflix, or planned on finding a comfy corner to scroll through notifications on their phone because they don't really know what to say. We have a few house rules: No judgements, no phones, and no discussions about work. We want to make the 5% of your day that isn't work to be about rediscovering yourself.
The set up for these events are intentional and respect means everything, which is why we reserve any moment to exchange information to be after the event has ended. You'll be led by a discussion leader who will set the stage for the evening. It's about you as an individual and us as a fam. Everyone has the right to speak and you deserve just as much time as the other, so don't be shy to share your story. Your portraits and interview will happen later in the evening. You'll get your photo later to download and see your interview featured online, along with all the other brave women who decided to speak their mind that night. Let's develop a sisterhood together, not a world where women are constantly on their toes badmouthing each other.
It's not just about the picture, we have other hangs
