SUMMARY:Show Up. Be Seen.
DESCRIPTION:BLOOM SOCIAL CLUB · LOS ANGELES\nShow Up and Be Seen: A Conversation on Presence & Confidence at Work\n\nSaturday\, April 18\, 2026 · 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM · Los Angeles\, CA\nLimited Seats · $50\n\n\nYou’ve earned your seat.\nYou’ve built something. You lead. You create. You show up — sometimes for everyone else before you show up for yourself.\nBut navigating professional spaces as a gay man of color comes with a particular kind of weight. The code-switching. The rooms that weren’t designed with you in mind. The quiet question underneath it all: how much of myself can I actually bring here? \nThis April\, Bloom Social Club creates the space to stop performing and start arriving — as yourself\, fully. \nWhat This Is\nShow Up and Be Seen is an intimate\, facilitated conversation for gay men of color — executives\, entrepreneurs\, artists\, nonprofit leaders\, government leaders\, and community builders — who are done feeling alone at the top.\nThis is not a workshop. There’s no curriculum\, no presenter\, no one talking at you. It’s a room where real conversations happen — where the men who walked in as strangers leave as community. \nWe’ll explore what presence actually looks and feels like for us — on our own terms. How to lead with authority without losing yourself. How to be visible without becoming a performance. And what it means to belong in the rooms you’ve worked so hard to get into. \nWhat to Expect\nA curated\, intimate gathering — intentionally small so every voice is heard.\nA facilitated conversation\, not a lecture — your experience is the expertise.\nA room full of men who get it — no explaining required.\nReal connection. \nStill unsure if this is for you? Take this quiz and find out.  \nAbout Bloom Social Club\nBloom Social Club is a community for gay men of color to connect\, build genuine relationships\, and support one another’s growth. Our gatherings are intentionally curated\, intimate by design\, and rooted in the belief that community is not a luxury — it’s how we sustain ourselves.  This is the fourth gathering in our 2026 series. Each month\, we gather around a theme that reflects where we actually are — not where we’re supposed to be. \nSpace is intentionally limited.\nSecure your seat before it’s gone.\n$50 · April 18\, 2026 · 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM · Los Angeles \nQuestions?

SUMMARY:New Year\, New Circles
DESCRIPTION:Bloom Social Club — Sacramento \nBloom Social Club is an in-person social gathering for gay and queer men of color who want to meet people\, build genuine connections\, and start the year in community—without the pressure of traditional networking. \nNew Year\, New Circles is about expanding your social world in a grounded\, intentional way. It’s a chance to connect with new faces\, have real conversations\, and begin the year feeling supported rather than isolated. \nThis is not a workshop or a business mixer.
