  • One of the goals of SWS and a priority of Shivawn is to make sure that all the women that come feel seen, heard, and considered. Growing up Shivawn was very quiet despite how she shows up today. It usually took her longer to find her space and her people while out. After deciding she couldn’t allow life to pass her by, she started to go out to social events, art shows and more – solo. As she found her footing and courage, she always made it a point to talk to the person that was out by themselves. From there she made some connections and others just became familiar friendly faces she may see out the next time.

    We don’t expect our host to put a cap on and save the world. We just desire women who are looking to be intentional with their connections with strangers while having fun. What we desire most is that you have a heart for people.
