START A MELANIN MEETUP
Bring Global Melanin Meetup Day to your city.
You do not need to be an event promoter. You do not need a stage, DJ, money, staff or large venue.
A Melanin Meetup can be as simple as choosing a welcoming restaurant or coffee shop, setting a meeting time, inviting people to come, and creating a place for conversation and connection.
HOW SIMPLE CAN IT BE?
3-10 people at a coffee shop.
4-20 people sharing dinner at a restaurant.
A reserved table for 3-8 at a lounge.
An organized group exploring a cultural food destination of choice.
A local business opening its doors as a meetup location.
A larger community gathering for those that want to build something bigger.
HOW IT WORKS
Choose your city.
Choose a participating venue.
Pick a time for November 14 OR whatever date in November that suits you.
Submit your meetup.
Invite your community.
Meet. Eat. Connect.
OWN OR MANAGE A VENUE?
Restaurants, cafés, lounges, food halls, bookstores, art spaces and other welcoming businesses can become Melanin Meetup locations.
You provide the place.
People provide the connection.
Submitting a meetup does not guarantee approval or publication. We may contact you to confirm venue details before adding it to the public directory.
