hi crew, it's emma! I hope everyone is hanging in there and taking care of yourselves + your people this week.

I'm based in prospect heights and I'd love to organize a gathering for brooklyn / nyc based gals who are looking to build genuine connection and community!! thinking of something during the first or second week of December 💖 we can figure out the details once we have an idea of how many people are interested - so comment down below to let me know.

Iynna·Nov 08

LFG! love this and you should deff do it! Tagging our Elpha Hang community (elpha.com/c/elpha-hangs) for elpha member driven meetups :)

emmayeeyick·Nov 09

thanks so much @iynna 💖

Iynna·Nov 09

I gotchuuuu 😊

Iynna·Nov 08

Also @KathyjHenry did something in April (I sadly couldn't make it but i believe it went very well!!) in case you ladies want to connect (even outside of the meetup) Also @ajasinger @ellepin have planned before so maybe they want to tag team but even then, the NYC is SO SO big that having multiple meetups is totally fine and welcome :) otherwise tagging you some members who are in NYC and might want to attend or tag team on cohosting: @Savage @ruthieberber @mjrebolledo @charlieesmith @isabelleserrano @jennmoran @florenceholdeman @jwynona @lynette72 @DenishaFreeman @lavparker @ImaniBK @joannaB @dianazelikman @elizaG @andriaj @amandahosang @IsabellaZhang @nuphar @tanyarai @mika @aliyaesmail @hanna @mendezp1 @anniehe @jlynn @hyobinsung @abigailtovar @alyssasyarbaini @Maitrip13 @anishabhandari @shadmakhan @maggieblackburn @osatomeri @valk

I’ve also aged out of this one, lol. If it’s open to late 30 somethings / early 40 somethings and up (or if anyone wants to organize something else for us old folks 😆) let me know

Itzy·Nov 09

Same boat! Ageism is real

ajasinger·Nov 09

My age disqualifies me from involvement in this meetup lol

mjrebolledo·Nov 09

Yeah I would love to, please send me the info!

jeanneepstein·Nov 13

Gee, I'd be interested but unfortunately you have an age specification. I'm an older woman working in content. This post is excluding me. What happened to being inclusive?

rachelmmurray·Nov 29

Let’s have our own ‘don’t give a toss what are you are’ meetup :)

maggiec·Nov 13

I’m interested!

Natalya·Nov 13

Interested

emmayeeyick·Nov 13

👋🏽 all!! so exciting to see so much interest for this gathering 💖 please fill out this form ASAP to indicate your availability, and if you're not free in December, fill this out if you'd like to stay in the loop for future meetups: https://shorturl.at/dPsP3 💌 a quick note: in no way meant for this to be exclusionary, rather the focus was meant to create a space for people who might be navigating similar life transitions and milestones together to connect. (I've received feedback on this at past events!) some of my most treasured friendships and mentorships span generations and I'm sure everyone in this thread can agree. If anyone would like to organize additional meetups, I'd be excited to help amplify and get more gatherings going across the elpha NYC community!! cc: @isabelleserrano @staceypsmith @lisawang1998 @miekotominaga @DivyaB1 @MichelleRojas @oliviamullen @teresaman @domprieto @ShanieceWilson @gabriellefeliciano @summerlindman @ImaniBK @JennLeung @nehajoshi @aliciaolivas @PriyaPatil @osatomeri @bytiffanywong @daryar @OliviaMihaljevic @jessmchang @kaitlynclarktx @maneeshapanja @nataliarolim @skdesign @tianaco @jennifwei @shirleyjiang @msue @mscazzero @ninajoung @jessicapei @maggiec @Natalya

Nicolle20·Nov 29

If you’re limiting it to a certain age, then yes, it is exclusionary. Everyone navigates different milestones and transitions at different ages, and I have a hard time believing that was the feedback you got - you don’t want women who are 35+ hanging out with you. If it’s just a meetup, it should be open to everyone. I’m dissapointed that Elpha has allowed you to continue to organize this on their platform without eliminating the age requirement.

Eusebia32·Nov 19

So rather than address your ageism you want us to organize our own 😂

roseliu·Nov 13

Hello!!! Am interested, and close by in Fort greene
