Mission
At The BLOOM ColleQtive
Our mission is to foster meaningful relationships through thoughtfully curated events that spark joy, conversation, and community. The vision is a welcoming "3rd space" where members can engage in playful activities, share experiences, and build lasting connections. We create vibrant, inclusive spaces (primarily on the Southside) where Black queer women and non binary folx can connect, thrive, and celebrate their identities.
Together, we cultivate an environment where everyone feels at home, seen, and ready to embrace the beauty of our diverse stories.
Welcome to The BLOOM ColleQtive —
Where identities flourish and community blossoms
*femmes, gender queer people, nonbinary people, trans men and women.
Who we are
The BLOOM ColleQtive is a social group that was dreamed up by a queer Black woman new to the city of Chicago, yearning to connect with other Black queer women and non-binary people in open and engaging spaces.
These events are meant to spark joy, conversation, and community. We envision a home away from home where you can, share experiences, engage in playful activities and build lasting connections. Rather you’re looking for a place to meet new friends, network or have meaningful conversations and share in good times with Black queer women and non binary folx. These intentionally curated events give you the nudge that’s sometimes needed to spark new connections in the fast paced life we live.
Come to our events and never have another missed connection. Think of The BLOOM ColleQtive as your fun after school activity with all your favorite people and a few new friendly faces along the way.
