Quarterly Dinner · Invitation Only · 12–15 Guests

Invitation only.
The real room.

12 women. One table. One conversation that doesn't end when the dinner does.

First edition · Summer 2026
The dinner

Candlelight. Linen.
Real conversation.

Table Talk is a quarterly invitation-only dinner for 12 to 15 Black women founders and creatives. Private venue. A Black NYC chef. A three to four course prix fixe menu. One facilitated conversation that is allowed to go wherever the room decides it should go. This is not a networking event. It is not open ticketing. A seat at this table is applied for — and curated.

"The room is curated. The conversation is not."

  • Product placement — if relevant, your product is poured, used, or present in the room
  • Quarterly reach — 12–15 of the most curated guests in the ecosystem per edition
  • Post-dinner mention — credited in any Un/Read recap of the evening
