This community fosters an environment where networking doesn’t feel like a chore but instead, a casual get together where like-minded LGBTQIA+ business owners and professionals can be themselves, uplift one another, and have a great time while doing it. We built this group to create space for folks who tend to feel uncomfortable or unwelcome in mainstream networking groups and to connect local queer businesses, professionals & allies - FOR FREE. No ulterior motive, just community building.
