What we're about

The purpose of this group is to bring together women (20's & 30's) interested in African and African-American culture for cultural events and experiences in NYC and beyond!!!

We'll meet up to attend cultural events, health & wellness events, art exhibits & museums, organize book clubs, network, volunteer, & visit pop up shops that center around African, African- American, and Caribbean culture.

I'll also plan 1-2 group travel experiences per year for anyone interested in traveling to different countries in Africa and other places in the diaspora that have a strong African or African-American influence (i.e. New Orleans, Brazil, the Caribbean and etc.).

This group will be free of negativity, pettiness, pretension, rudeness and gossip. We will use our time together to have fun, better ourselves, make genuine long lasting friendships, connect with our cultures and give back to our communities by supporting businesses in our communities (particularly black and women owned or led).

Feel free to check out my instagram @afroexperiencegirl to keep up with the types of events and trips I've attended and will plan for this group!

Afro Flow Yoga at Alvin Ailey Extension

The Ailey Studios

Come experience joy and elation through movement and sound. Afro Flow Yoga® infuses electrifying dance movements of the African Diaspora flowing with a meditative yoga sequence of gentle yet powerful stretches. Deeply connect with the soulful rhythms of live drumming, energize your chakras, gain strength and flexibility, and rejoice in the bliss of feeling grounded and peaceful! Through the power of collective energy and the creation of sacred space, students will leave feeling empowered, energized, and renewed. With a mission to promote healing and community building through dance, music and yogic practices, husband and wife team, Leslie Salmon Jones, Ailey School Alum, and multi-instrumentalist Jeff W Jones created Afro-Flow Yoga to celebrate, honor and respect our shared humanity and cultural differences in a non-judgmental and safe environment.
