Our Table
Where Conversations Turn Into Connections
Our Table is an intentional gathering created for Black women in media to connect, reflect, and build meaningful relationships beyond the surface.
In an industry that often moves quickly and competitively, Our Table creates space to slow down and engage in thoughtful dialogue with women who understand the unique journey of navigating media, leadership, and influence.
This is not networking for the sake of exchanging business cards.
This is community-building with purpose.
At Our Table, every voice matters, every story carries value, and every conversation has the potential to open doors.
The Purpose of Our Table
Black Women in Media created Our Table to provide a space where authentic connection and professional growth can exist side by side.
These gatherings bring together women across media disciplines — from journalists and producers to publicists, creators, executives, entrepreneurs, and emerging leaders — to share experiences, insights, and opportunities.
Our Table is designed to:
-
Foster authentic professional relationships
-
Encourage honest conversations about career growth and leadership
-
Provide space for mentorship and peer learning
-
Build collaborative opportunities across media sectors
-
Strengthen community within the Black media ecosystem
When we sit together, we build together.
What Makes Our Table Different
Unlike traditional networking events, Our Table is intentionally curated to create an environment where participants can engage meaningfully and leave with more than just contacts.
Each gathering is structured to encourage real conversation and connection.
Experiences may include:
-
Guided conversations around industry topics
-
Small group discussions and storytelling
-
Fireside chats with media leaders
-
Collaborative brainstorming sessions
-
Relationship-building activities
These moments allow participants to exchange knowledge, learn from one another, and build connections that extend far beyond the room.
Upcoming Our Table Experiences
Our Table gatherings take place in select cities and during special Black Women in Media experiences throughout the year.
Each gathering is thoughtfully curated to ensure a meaningful experience for everyone at the table.
Participants will have the opportunity to engage with industry peers, hear from experienced professionals, and take part in conversations that inspire growth and collaboration.
