A Vancouver-based non-profit that serves as a platform for BIPOC women to connect, empower, and inspire one another.
About us
Who We Are
The BIPOC Women’s Society is a Vancouver-based non-profit and community created for BIPOC women seeking meaningful connection, belonging, and growth.
Through thoughtfully curated events and conversations, we bring together women from diverse backgrounds to build genuine relationships, expand their networks, and find community in spaces where they feel seen and understood.
What We Do
We create intentional experiences that help BIPOC women connect through community building events, professional development events, and educational workshops- every experience is designed to encourage authentic connection, community, and confidence.
We also collaborate with organizations and brands that are committed to supporting and investing in diverse communities.
Why We Exist
Many BIPOC women move through spaces where they feel overlooked, isolated, or like they have to shrink parts of themselves to belong.
We created the BIPOC Women’s Society to change that. Our mission is to create spaces where BIPOC women can show up fully, build meaningful relationships, and feel genuinely seen and supported.

Mission Statement:
We are a non-profit organisation with a mission to create a vibrant and inclusive social club that serves as a platform for BIPOC women to connect, empower, and inspire one another. Through a diverse range of networking events, educational workshops, and growth-oriented activities, we aim to cultivate a supportive community where members can share experiences, knowledge, and resources.
We are committed to fostering personal and professional development, celebrating the unique identities and talents of BIPOC women, and promoting leadership opportunities. By nurturing an environment of collaboration and mutual respect, we strive to build a network of strong, confident individuals who can drive positive change in their communities.
Our social club seeks to bridge the gaps in access and representation that BIPOC women often face by creating spaces where their voices are heard, valued, and amplified. We are dedicated to addressing social issues, promoting inclusivity, and advocating for equity in all aspects of life.
Together, we will embark on a journey of growth and self-discovery, forging lifelong connections, and harnessing the collective power of BIPOC women. Through our club, we will support, uplift, and inspire one another, as we embrace our shared experiences and empower ourselves to achieve our fullest potential.
