The Power of Interracial Sisterhood: A Summer Gathering

A rare evening where women talk honestly about what matters, with women who don't look like them, in beautiful Sausalito, Monday, July 20
About this Event

We gather again at Golden Hour on the Bay.

If you have never been, this is your invitation.

And if you've joined us before, please join us again and bring a friend.

(These photos are of our May 2026 Power of Interracial Sisterhood event at ERIA Sausalito, the same beautiful space we'll be in on July 20, right on the water overlooking San Francisco).

Summer moves fast, and a lot of it is spent tending to everyone else. The plans, the people, the thousand small ways women keep the world running.

July 20 is a night to step out of all that and into something for you. An evening among women, honest and unhurried.

There are very few places where a woman sits down with women who do not look like her and talks honestly about the things that actually matter. That is what these evenings are.

You come as you are, you are welcomed by name, and in pairs and small groups we have the kind of real conversation most of us never get to have anywhere else. No performance, no expertise required, no being put on the spot.

You do not need to come with anyone. Most women arrive on their own and leave having met someone they keep in their life.

Don't have a way to get to Sausalito? Let us know and we'll find you a carpool.

Women of all ethnicities and generations are welcome (including transwomen and trans femmes). At our last gathering, the women ranged in age from 19 to 89, and four mothers brought their daughters.

There is genuinely nothing like this room.

This one is special. We have a guest being finalized whose presence I cannot wait to share, and I will announce her soon. For now I will say only that she is someone whose voice this moment needs.

We keep our tickets tiered on purpose, so the room stays diverse across income and every woman who wants to be here can be. Space is limited to 60, and these gatherings fill fast. Claim your place, on your own or with someone, either way you belong here.

Come build this with us.

On Monday, July 20, we join together again at ERIA Sausalito, because this year asks something of all of us.

These are the rooms where we meet it together instead of alone.

Who This Is For

This evening is intentionally designed for Bay Area women (including trans women and trans femmes), entrepreneurs, leaders, artists, activists, and community builders of different ethnicities and generations who:

• Seek Authenticity: You are tired of polite, surface-level networking and crave honest, soul-shifting community.
• Are Ready for Action: You are exhausted of the status quo and want to do the real work of building sisterhood and coalition across cultural differences.
• Believe in Collective Power: You know that women’s safety and freedom in America begin with us learning to stand together.

A Note Before You Buy Your Ticket

This evening will ask something of you. It will ask you to sit with women whose lives are not like yours, to listen without defending, to imagine without retreating, and to commit to personal change.

If you come ready for that, you will leave changed. If you are looking for an evening of comfortable, standard networking, this is not your event, and that is okay. We will hold the room with deep care. The rest is yours to bring.
