Join us May 29th at Roam in Ballard!

Kick back, connect, and let’s get real. On Tap: REAL TALK is more than a night out - it’s a celebration of sisterhood, representation, and the strength that comes from honest connection. In a world where women’s voices are often overlooked, this evening is about making space for every story, every perspective, and every woman at the table.

Through unfiltered conversions, shared laughter, and intentional community, we’ll lift one another up and remind ourselves that we are not alone. Enjoy specialty cocktails, INCREDIBLE raffle prizes, all of which give back to exciting future CWD events, and a night rooted in joy, purpose, and the belief that representation isn’t just important - it’s everything.
