The Higher Society was born from a simple truth: when Black women gather, magic happens. Add good food, a grown vibe, and the freedom to be yourself — you’ve got something more than a social club. You’ve got a forever bond.
In the DC/DMV area, we kept seeing the same thing...spaces that weren’t really for us. We wanted more than the same old club/party situation or Facebook friend group that's really a sneaky link freak-off disguised as a way to make new friends. We craved something intentional and not sexual:
Intimate experiences where Black queer women 30+ could truly connect and actually hear each other speak.
A circle that feels like your favorite long lost friend group — the one that always saved you a seat.
Consistent moments where good taste, good conversation, and freedom meet.
So we built it ourselves. Now you're here, right on time.
Our signature Candle Lit Sundays events and seasonal pop-ups bring comfort, food, thoughtful pairings, and familiar faces together under soft light and good music. Our Higher Essentials pantry collection from Higher Society Foods lets you bring that same cozy, elevated vibe back home with you. With small-batch infusers, drizzles, and pantry must-haves you'll always leave our function with a way to lift every meal a little higher.
Everything we do is about real connection. Good bites, good people, and spaces where you can just be.
If you’re a Black woman 30+, queer, grown, a connoisseur of Mary Jane's finest and craving intentional connection — you’re right where you belong. If you love to break bread, pass the good vibes, and build friendships that stick — you’re our kind of person. If you’ve ever wanted to elevate a simple gathering into something unforgettable — pull up a chair.
This isn’t just another club; it’s a Higher Society.
One where:
Our food is crafted with care, flavor, and intention.
Our gatherings feel like coming home and taking your shoes off.
Our people feel seen, heard, and celebrated.
Our story is still being written, one experience at a time. Whether you’re joining us for an intimate brunch, stocking your kitchen with Higher Society Foods, or claiming your seat as a member of our little union — thanks for letting us join your table.
At the Higher Society, we take our memberships and community standards very seriously. To keep things exclusive and luxe for our members, once we reach 50 paid memberships ALL applications will be closed until further notice. So act fast boo.
Thank you for getting in touch!
One of our colleagues will get back to you shortly.
Have a great day!
