Two ways to
show up.
A free monthly virtual session and in-person community gatherings across Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Oakland — all built for gay and queer men of color in leadership.
Empower Hour — Free · Virtual · Every 3rd Wednesday
A monthly virtual
gathering — free,
open, and on purpose.
Each session is built around a theme that reflects where gay and queer men of color in leadership actually are in the year — not where a content calendar says we should be. One hour. Virtual. No cost. You’ll leave with something real.
RSVP for Any Session →01
Guided visualization
Noris leads you through a grounded exercise tied to the month’s theme — slowing down to feel into what’s actually coming up for you.
02
Small group breakouts
Groups of 2–3 with focused prompts. Not networking. Real conversation with people who get the specific reality you’re navigating.
03
Community harvest
The full group comes back together. Every voice contributes to a collective insight. This is where the room builds.
04
One concrete takeaway
You leave with one specific thing to act on. Not a to-do list. One thing that will actually move something in you.

In-person, intimate, and

April — Presence & Confidence at Work
Bloom Social Club
Apr 18 · Los Angeles
The Weight of Being Seen
There’s a particular exhaustion that comes with showing up in spaces not built with us in mind. This gathering creates room to name it — and to be seen by people who understand it from the inside.
May — Visibility Without Burnout
Bloom Social Club
May 23 · City TBD
Showing Up Without Burning Out
This in-person gathering is for gay men of color who are done pretending that ambition and exhaustion are just part of the deal. We’re talking about what sustainable visibility actually looks like.
June — Mid-Year Reflection & Recalibration
Bloom Social Club
Jun 20 · Los Angeles
Half-Time
Half the year is gone. This is where we pause and take stock — not just professionally, but personally. What’s still true? What needs to change? What deserves to be celebrated before the second half begins?
July — Leadership Stamina & Sustainability
Bloom Social Club
Jul 18 · City TBD
The Long Game
What does it take to lead for years — not just months? This gathering is for gay men of color navigating the long arc of leadership: staying grounded, staying hungry, and not losing yourself in the process.
August — Alignment Before the Fall Push
Bloom Social Club
Aug 22 · City TBD
What Are You Actually Building Toward?
The fall push is real — and it will take everything you have if you let it. This in-person gathering is a chance to get clear before the rush arrives, so you move into Q4 with intention, not just momentum.
September — Navigating Change & Transitions
Bloom Social Club
Sep 19 · City TBD
In Transition
Change doesn’t wait for a convenient moment. This gathering is for gay men of color who are navigating a shift — in role, identity, city, or chapter — and need a room that holds the complexity of that without rushing past it.
October — Influence, Relationships & Power
Bloom Social Club
Oct 24 · City TBD
Power Moves Like This
For gay men of color in leadership, navigating power is rarely straightforward. This in-person gathering explores how influence actually works — and how to build it without compromising who you are.
November — Integration & Year-End Reflection
Bloom Social Club
Nov 21 · City TBD
The Whole Year
Before the year ends and the retrospectives begin, this gathering creates space for something different: taking stock of what the year actually asked of you — and what you gave, and what you kept for yourself.
December — Closing the Year with Intention
Bloom Social Club
Dec 19 · City TBD
End on Purpose
The final gathering of the year. This is a space for gay men of color to close 2026 with the same intentionality they brought to opening it — in community, with clarity, and on their own terms.
