Connect Over Coffee: Real Connections. No Ghosting. Great Coffee.
About this Event
You've been to the networking events. You know how this usually goes.
You walk in. You work the room. You hand out cards. You go home. And then… nothing.
I conducted a poll on IG recently of Black entrepreneurs and creatives in the DMV asking What is your biggest frustration at networking events?
35% said their #1 frustration is showing up to networking events and still leaving feeling invisible.
31% said they exchange information and get ghosted — no follow-up, no connection, nothing.
That's 66% of every room walking away frustrated. Every single time.
Connect Over Coffee was built to solve both of those things.
This is where Black entrepreneurs and creatives come to collaborate authentically — not perform. No elevator pitches. No badge reading. No transactional small talk.
Just real people, in an intimate setting, having the kind of honest conversations that actually lead somewhere.
Here's a glimpse of how it works. Every conversation in the room is guided by four actions:
Ask. Offer. Collab. Connect.
What you need. What you bring. Where your work intersects. And who else belongs in the room.
That's the framework. The magic of how it all comes together? That part happens when you get here.
Because here's what we know about building a thriving business:
You don't just need a network. You need the right four people in your corner.
💙 The Connector — who opens doors you can't open alone
💗 The Encourager — who shows up when the entrepreneurial journey gets hard
🏆 The Mentor — only 24% of Black women business owners have one
⭐ The Sponsor — only 5% of Black women have someone actively advocating for them
Connect Over Coffee is where you find those people. You won't just leave with someone's contact. You'll leave knowing their story, their superpower, and exactly how you can show up for each other.
That's not a networking event. That's Connect 4.
