About us

Whimsy Does It is for the black women and queer folks in their late-20s to early-30s who are looking to gather for fun and whimsy in the northern neighborhoods they may or may not call home (see also: Lincoln Square, Ravenswood, Uptown, Rogers Park, Edgewater, etc.).

Hey, y'all, my name is Bre and I live in Ravenswood! Something I've realized is not everybody is trying to come up this way to go out and be whimsy which, to each their own, but sometimes I just want to go across the street to engage in the gift of gab. Whether you live a few blocks away, or perhaps you're willing to come out this way, with Whimsy Does It we will be forming genuine community while partaking in the beautiful things these neighborhoods have to offer.

Here are the kinds of social events you can expect:

  • Coffee Chats (getting to know each other!)
  • Creative/Craft Days (I write and crochet, but open to all kinds of crafts!) and/or taking art classes together
  • Movies at the Davis or the Music Box
  • Happy Hours
  • Reading/Book Clubs
  • Museums
  • Street Festivals
  • Chillin' at Montrose
  • Jazz Shows
  • And More!!
