North Brooklyn Women's Collective
Founders, freelancers, and creatives. The women building this neighbourhood are already here — this is where we find each other.
-
Real conversations
No stiff introductions. No stack of business cards nobody calls back.
-
Real collaborations
The most interesting women out here building, finally in one room.
-
Real community
A network that actually shows up, one North Brooklyn block at a time.

The deal
This isn't another
networking event.
NBWC started with a simple idea: the most interesting women in Greenpoint, Williamsburg, and Bushwick are already out here building — they just hadn't all met yet.
No stiff introductions. No stack of business cards nobody calls back. Just real conversations, real collaborations, and a community that actually shows up, one North Brooklyn block at a time.

What we're built on
Three things we're
serious about
Wellness
Movement and nourishment led by the women actually practising it in this neighbourhood — not a stock photo.
Local life
The blocks, the bars, the best-kept secrets. Local life curated by the women who actually live it.
Why join
What membership
actually gets you
The directory
Every member, searchable by name, profession, business, and neighbourhood. You decide what yours shows — and you can take yourself off the list any time without leaving the Collective.
Events that aren't panels
Suppers, studio classes, walk-and-talks, and the occasional workshop — hosted in members' own spaces across all three neighbourhoods.
Member Monday
Each week we put one member's story in front of the whole Collective — her business, her work, her North Brooklyn moment.
Referrals that go somewhere
The reason most people stay. When a member needs a designer, a dietitian, or a contractor, she asks here first.

What I Got Wrong
Bushwick — address shared on RSVP
Four members, ten minutes each, on a decision that cost them. No slides allowed. It's the most useful evening we run and the hardest one to get people to speak at.
Sat 26 Sep · 10:00 AM
McCarren Walk & Talk
McCarren Park — north entrance, Bedford Ave
An hour of walking in pairs that rotate every fifteen minutes. Easier than a room if you're new, and you'll leave having actually talked to four people rather than half-met twenty.
Every Monday
Member
Monday
Each week we pin up one member's story — her business, her work, her North Brooklyn moment. It's community-first in practice, not just in the tagline.
