Our CoworkinG Space

SAFER COWORKING FOR BIW*OC & TIN*BIPOC.

At BIWOC* Rising, we strive to create safer spaces for all our members. “Safe” is an illusive word that not only means different things to different people, but can also mean different things at different moments in life for that same individual. Therefore, the space is open exclusively for BIWoC and TIN*BIPoC.  Members and team members undergo periodical Awareness Workshops. We believe that safer spaces can be created and maintained only when everyone is actively involved in the process.

To reflect/echo the beauty in our community, we strived to create a beautiful space with new and comfortable furniture, with pastel colors that create a bright, soft and calming atmosphere. Because we deserve beautiful stuff! When you need a break from work, you can lounge on our cozy sofas, and enjoy our intersectional feminist collection of books. Alternatively, you can prepare your lunch/dinner or mid-day snack in our fully equipped kitchen or join other members join you there for a chat.

"The BIWOC* Rising co-working space is so so cute, warm and welcoming! As a non-binary Trans person with multiple gender identities, it can be a struggle to find places and spaces that feel authentically accepting. The staff are so caring, open and ready and willing to work to make the space more and more inviting and inclusive, the events that take place for the members are just *so* wholesome, the location is great and getting to know and exchange with the other co-workers has already opened up possibilities for collaboration! In short, i'm very glad and grateful that this space exists <3"

“This space provides me a space of safety, being authentic, being unapologetic and growing into myself. It helps me find a space of understanding and community that takes into consideration social, political and economic pressures/realities and makes access to resources easier. This way it fosters solidarity and sustainable empowerment."

“It’s a sweet place to say anything and behave in anyway and trust that you have the right intuition to not offend other people. It is pretty easy to get in this trusting state though."

Classism is a huge part of coworking spaces. We want our space to be as inclusive as possible, which is why we discuss membership fees individually.
