It began with hosting a series of zoom “salons” during the pandemic, which eventually became in-person. In total I hosted ~30 salons, on a number of topics including friendship, community, relationships with managers, jealousy, parents, social media, knowledge, and more.
had a blast co-hosting a salon last night on friendship with @katjinja and @benjlaufer

this one was about “public speaking” – we talked about what makes for a “good” speaker, authenticity in speaking, written vs verbal communication, giving intros, & more! pic.twitter.com/sZeRLOS7rZ
At some point I began running more casual “introvert” hangouts, creating an open space for people to socialize in New York without excessive drinking and yelling. I’m currently hosting more such events.
trying to create a semi-regular space in nyc for an introvert-friendly kind of gathering, where we have space for games & interesting conversation, but also the opportunity to just sit in quiet, read, reflect, journal, etc

we had enough space & people this time to have a few different zones with different vibes, one more quiet and one more energetic, with people flowing back and forth pic.twitter.com/uEVv23J8GD
hosted a "library night" at @vercisocial this week! we had a cozy little nook, with everyone bringing a book or two they were curious about
