Imagine a world where you are fully yourself. Where you don’t have to worry about what your hair looks like or how loud you get. A world that holds space for you to be tired AND magical, to be brilliant and a little insecure, to be figuring shit out and still able to inspire people with your journey. Imagine a world where your dreams, your leadership, your art, your laughter, your joy, don’t just matter. They are the ONLY things that matter. Imagine a world inspired by the dopeness of our ancestors; the courage and brilliance of our aunties and mamas; and the unspoken desires of our own hearts: for legacy, for joy, for connection, for the opportunity to be free and whole. A workplace. A refuge. A sanctuary. A community for women, femmes, and non-binary people of color committed to transforming themselves and the world around them. At Zora’s House we’re building that world every single day. Join us.

“Women of color from various backgrounds, places,

and lived experiences approach the purple door, and

when they open it, they find exactly what they need.

A workspace. A party. A thinktank. A playground. A

library. Food. Water. Shelter. Coffee and wine.

Solidarity. Understanding. Community. Peace. A

space to cry. A space to laugh. A space to be

vulnerable. A space to be our full selves.”
