What does concealing parts of yourself do to your mental health, confidence and self-image? Where do you feel the most seen and heard?
Sexuality is so much more expansive than a label or physical act. It's the core of who we are and impacts our ability to show up comfortably in the world. SBNNL curates safer spaces for bi, curious, queer and sexually fluid women. Our events, workshops, retreats, coaching, membership community and travel experiences offer a transformative and integrative approach to cultivating and enhancing self-awareness. Studies have shown that feeling socially supported can make a significant difference in our mental health, regardless of how much socializing we’re actually doing.
SBNNL empowers women to lean into their authentic selves. We help women develop more meaningful relationships with themselves, potential or existing partners, and other like-minded women. SBNNL is a very niche collective of like-minded women that want to live life authentically and unapologetically. SBNNL centers on "straight-passing" women of color and offers a much needed women for women membership community.
