The Only Ones (Too): A Very Only Child Thanksgiving
About this Event
Welcome to The Only Ones (Too): A Very Only Child's Thanksgiving 💗 - ($ 10 or more suggested donation pls !!!)
A Thanksgiving-inspired gathering for adult only children in NYC (and the folks who get it) to connect, laugh, reflect, and build community with people who understand the beautiful, complicated, and sometimes lonely experience of growing up without siblings.
We're talking family dynamics, aging parents, holiday expectations, independence, and all the little things that make the only-child experience so unique.
Expect some fun games, thoughtful prompts, facilitated conversations, and opportunities to make genuine connections. No awkward networking. No pressure to overshare. Just good people and good energy.
📍 Selune | Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn
🕐 1–3 PM
💸 A LITTLE NOTE FROM YOUR HOST (ME!)
I'm a broke MBA student putting this entire gathering together independently, from designing the games and conversation prompts to coordinating the space, logistics, and all the little details that make an intentional gathering feel special.
If you're able, I WOULD deeply appreciate a $10 donation (or more!) to help offset the costs of bringing this experience to life. Every dollar genuinely helps.
If you do donate, put a "❤️ emoji" and donate to: (venmo - @akiera-charles), (cashapp - $xavina) or (zelle - [email protected]). Thanks !!!!
And I want to name something bigger here: Black women are so often the architects of community, creating spaces for connection, healing, joy, and belonging, frequently with little to no financial backing. Our creativity, emotional labor, time, and resources make these experiences possible, and that labor deserves to be recognized and supported.
I'm not backed by a big organization or sponsor. It's just me, my vision, my personal funds, and a desire to create something meaningful for us.
Your contribution isn't just helping cover supplies. It's supporting Black women-led community building and helping make spaces like this sustainable. 💗
Donations are appreciated, not required. I want this space to remain accessible, regardless of what anyone can contribute.
So pull up a chair. Bring your only-child stories, your holiday feelings, and your whole self.
With love,
Akiera 💌
