While riding the Livingston bus I heard a girl screaming at the top of her lungs. The young sister, maybe 17, was screaming about her desire to go to school. She said she couldn't get government assistance without being a single mom. She talked about wanting an education, to meet and know committed couples, to know someone outside of her family that she could talk to ~ "women who were trying to do something different". All of her passion had me wondering how a group of women with diverse persona …

This group is for lesbians of color who want to get together to EAT, discuss current affairs, politics, celebrity gossip, trash television, love, sex, the weather, relationships, or any topic that comes to mind.

… I hope that we can meet and practice social situations in which we practice conversations with one another, and give one another feedback. Do you come across as friendly? Do people feel like you're invading their space? How much should you touch?

So although I know some exercises we can do, we may at some point in time decide to hire …

Most of us don't really know what our purpose is, or even if we have one. This group is about discovery and creation. What is a purpose, how to recognize it, does everyone have a purpose whether or not they even know it, do I need to know it, do I care? We will explore all these and many other aspects of purpose through meetings, workshops, and powerful conversations amongst each other.

We meet to enjoy the greatest strategy game in suitable fashion: drink in hand, distracting conversation, beginner and expert comrades alike.
