Queens Talk
Hosted by: BlackVenus Brianne and Samantha Casseus
“How often do we come together just to talk and celebrate each other? Let’s dig past the surface and get personal! I would like to share space and invite women to come through and truly build on a personal level. Let’s debrief. Let’s check-in. We will be having small group discussions, moments to story-tell, writing, sharing, and refreshments served. All women must be prepared to form bonds and relationships with at least one new sister-friend that evening. Let’s build! Our reoccuring theme and goal is restoring old relationships and creating new ones. Creating stronger bonds among phenomenal women in Boston and beyond.”
