Words From Our BFFS
"[This group has] helped me realize that I'm not so alone here. When I moved to Maryland almost 2 years ago, I hated not having a girl group to grab drinks with or dinner, but I'm very lucky to have this group and I know that I can reach out and always have someone to vibe with!"
Marcie L.
"I joined this group a little over a year ago, and what a year it has been! I always wanted to be that girl with a group of gal pals that I could go on trips with, do happy hours... I have some of the best friends a girl could ask for because of this group. Don't be afraid to message someone you want to get to know, show up to an event doing something out of your norm, or just be yourself!"
Jen C.
"I joined this group a few months ago, right when I went through a horrible breakup and moved. This group is amazing - I have met so many people who I call my friends... I feel safe, respected and heard in this group... I couldn't ask for anything better."
Kayla C.
