I am a business woman and Air Force veteran and have worked across different parts of the federal government. I have 2 adult daughters and enjoy traveling and learning about black history. My passion is to bring black people together in a way that is meaningful, re-builds and re-tells our story all while having fun and empowering us to become better versions of ourselves.

About me

My name is Raye and I started this business mostly to build community with like-minded black people. I organize meetups and curate events that honor and celebrate the vibrant experiences and cultures of the Black Diaspora and cater to those who seek authentic and immersive journeys as a black person.

Our target market includes mature black people. Ideally the 35+, however if you think this group is a good fit for you come on out!
