About this trip
BLK GETAWAY is a community and event organization that curates travel and events that empower diverse women to convene, connect, and travel together. We create space for you to get out of the office and interact with different people, expanding your network while exploring new places and experiences.
We do this by curating exclusive and culturally enriching moments designed for reflection and connection with a network of women who are thriving.
In 2022, we brought the BLK BIZ BRUNCH to NYC—a joyous networking brunch for black women who own a business to connect, collaborate and establish new partnerships. Now, we're taking our successful networking brunch to the next level! Join us for BLK BIZ BRUNCH: Queens Weekend—the ultimate 3-day getaway for ambitious women of color to toast to their accomplishments, cultivate sisterhood, and gain new resources that will impact their community and new business.
Get treated like the boss business QUEEN you are!
