A Space to Thrive

Curated by Zee began as a simple idea: to create a space where Black women in Abu Dhabi could show up fully, without pretense or expectation.

What started as a small WhatsApp group quickly grew into a thriving community of over 360 members, with subgroups, a business directory, and real-life events. Every step of the way, the community has been guided by the values of care, growth, shared responsibility, and intentional connection.

From casual hangouts to professional workshops and wellness initiatives, we've grown into a home for collaboration, support, and celebration.
