It’s an evening of celebration and togetherness, where your investment tends the seeds we’re planting to grow a just and liberated world.

Delicious food and drinks will be catered by an award-winning chef and owner of Communion (one of Seattle’s best restaurants), That Brown Girl Cooks! Break out your most celebratory outfit and get ready for a spectacular evening.
Y-WE Bloom is a chance to come together as a community to create an abundance of resources for young leaders and empower them to step into their fullness and effect positive social change.

Doors will open at 5:30PM with program beginning at 6:30PM and ending at 9PM.

With COVID-19 on the rise again, we’re setting a standard of community care by requiring masks unless eating/drinking. We will have extra masks available on site, and we encourage you to take a COVID test before attending and stay home if you feel sick.
