What we’re about
Are you a black girl/ woman that?
• experience difficulty in meeting people in an unfamiliar place,
• avoid conversation because you think you may say something silly.
• or after you say something you repeat in your head what you “should have said"
• your comebacks are not fast enough,
• you hate being held responsible for initiating conversation
• you may be an AWKWARD BLACK GIRL (ABG)
What's the purpose of the group? The purpose of this group is to bring ABG’s together to discuss our awkwardness ,why we feel like outcast but really aren’t, the world, change, life, fashion, or whatever you want.
Who should join? Self-described ABG’s from 20-100. More mature ABG’s can mentor our younger ABG’s and let them know that being an ABG can be fascinating, sometimes scary, yet rewarding and fun.

See all- Science 🧪 Speakeasy 🍸The National Academies, Washington, DC
Join us December 6th at The1924 - a Science 🧪🔬 Speakeasy pop-up - for a lively evening of cocktails, conversation, and discovery. Seven scientists – all of whom are the bee’s knees – will speak for just seven minutes each. It’s fast, fascinating, and fun!
This ritzy evening will be the hottest spot in town for DC’s glammy soiree vultures. Why not pull out the spiffiest thing in your closet and join us? If you've been to the last few speakeasy events, you know we always start with snacks, music, a lovely signature cocktail, plus a few surprises... followed by some swell science wisdom. This time around, we’re going all-out with a SERIES of science guests - because we couldn’t choose just one for the last event of the year!
Tickets are limited! We sold out very quickly last time so be a wise head and reserve now. We invite all our 1920s best-dressed guys and dolls to walk the red carpet for photos!
