First Friday: Collaborate & Thrive

Free Coworking • Community • Connection • Collaboration

Spend First Friday at Zora’s House for Collaborate & Thrive, a free day of coworking designed to bring women together to work, connect, share resources, and celebrate the people and communities that help us thrive.

This special First Friday will spotlight The Collaborative, a community of organizations working alongside Zora’s House to create opportunities, build connections, and strengthen the lives of women and girls.

Throughout the day, you’ll have space to get some work done, meet new people, learn about organizations doing meaningful work in our community, and participate in simple activities centered on connection and gratitude.

✉️ Write It. Send It. Celebrate It.

Take a moment to recognize someone who has helped you thrive. We’ll have space for you to write and send a letter of gratitude to a mentor, friend, colleague, family member, community leader, or anyone who has made a difference in your life.

📚 Book Swap.

Participate in our community book swap! Bring a gently loved book you’re ready to pass along and take a new-to-you book home. No purchase necessary; just bring a book if you have one to share.

📚 Buy a Book!

Browse and expand your personal library with a book from Eqstesi. Eqstesi, a local Black owned Bookstore, will be hosting an afternoon pop-up shop from 2 pm - 6:00 pm.
