Find your people.
Find your place.
Making room for Black women to find friendship, share joy, and feel at home in community.
Get to know us
STRANGERS BECOME GIRLFRIENDS HERE.More than a social club.
She Found Us is a community for Black women ages 21 and up to build friendships, share experiences, and make room for joy in lives that ask so much of us.
Why “She Found Us”?
She is the friend who invites you in, the sister who makes room for you, and the woman you become for someone else. Together, we found us.
Our goal
To make belonging part of everyday life for Black women by creating welcoming spaces where familiar faces become real friendships, support goes both ways, and there is room to be celebrated, understood, and fully yourself.
Through shared experiences and time together, we want to build the kind of community that carries beyond an event: women who check in, celebrate each other’s milestones, exchange ideas, and show up as life changes.
Whether you’re new to the area, navigating a new season, or simply ready to expand your circle, there’s a place for you here.
Warm welcomes. Good conversation. Plans you’ll actually look forward to.
Good things happen when we get together.
Think dinner tables, new experiences, shared laughs, and the kind of introductions that turn into plans of your own.
A little reminder
You don’t have to know anybody to belong.
COME ALONE. LEAVE WITH A STORY.Stay connected.
Keep showing up.
The best part of meeting your people is getting to know them over time. We’re shaping a membership experience that makes room for connection between events, too.

Ashley Nicole
FOUNDER, SHE FOUND US SOCIAL CLUB
She Found Us started with something I was missing in my own life: community.
I’m a true girls’ girl, known as the “everything girl,” and I believe women can come together without cattiness. There is room for us to celebrate each other, share what we know, and build friendships rooted in kindness, honesty, and mutual support.
After moving to the western suburbs, I missed having women around me and the connection that comes with a circle of your own. As a mother and a working professional, I wanted to make room for friendship alongside the responsibilities of everyday life.
I created She Found Us to build that space for Black women. A place where we can get to know one another, share our experiences, try something new, and enjoy being together. Where there is room to talk about what we’re working toward, ask for support, celebrate a win, or simply laugh over dinner.
My hope is that the connection continues after the gathering ends. That an introduction becomes a friendship, a conversation becomes a check-in, and showing up once becomes the beginning of finding your people.
You don’t need to arrive with a friend or have everything figured out. I’m building the community I was looking for, and I hope you find a place in it, too.
With love, Ashley Nicole
