Transplanted Friends

Hello, are you new to the Minneapolis area, or maybe been here but struggled to find your community? Are you scared of what is happening in our country and looking for some other people? This group may be for you. The goal of this group is to help people find their people. The more community you have, the safer you can feel in the face of adversity or even oppression.

My name is Celium, and I have been living in the Twin Cities for less than a year, and have noticed it can be hard to get in with the locals. Like extremely hard, why they gotta make it this hard? I figured maybe that as a sign to start up a group for people just looking to find other friends and explore their new area.

Personally, I am an arts and outdoors person. So a lot of the activities I will be hosting are going to be around that, but I am hopeful that other members will want to plan different activities. For now, hiking and museums are my gig. I also do photography, so I may schedule some photowalks. The point is to connect. Find your community. Be a part of the group for as long as it suits you, or stay forever. Whatever helps you feel safe in a time when we all just wanna know we are okay.
