Five women walking together on a dance floor at a party or social event with colorful string lights, a disco ball, and decorative curtains in the background.

We show up.

we are loud.

LOUD is a community network for Black women and women of color in LA who make it happen. For the one building a business, the one raising her kids, the one organizing her block. When we gather we learn something, support someone, and take action.

our belief

Most of us weren't handed networks of opportunity, safety, or power.

We were told to lean in, speak up, work twice as hard, and do it alone, in rooms built to keep us out. So we came together.

This is why LOUD exists. We are building opportunity, safety, power. We claim it for ourselves. We share it with each other.

how membership works

You take part on your own terms, showing up how and when you can.

  • Community

    Women who pay attention to the world, to each other, to themselves.

  • Curiosity

    Think out loud, ask the uncomfortable question, change your mind.

  • Live Events

    Six times a year we’re in the same room: workshops, panels, open discussion. Members always get in for less.

  • Service

    Member volunteer days. We show up for our neighbors.

Happening @ loud

Six events a year, plus volunteer days and member-only events. Each one picks up where the last left off, and you leave with something to put to use: notes, resources, a reflection to carry forward.

“LOUD is a space where you’re fully seen, hyped up, and free to evolve. It’s way more than a community. It’s something we create together.”

A woman with dark hair and glasses, smiling, is sitting in a yellow armchair. She is wearing a matching patterned shirt and shorts set, and black boots. She is in a room with a vintage-style interior, including a patterned rug, a small round wooden table, a sofa, and a brick wall.

We Saved You A Seat

A group of women gathered around a large table in a room with a brick wall, some are working on arts and crafts while others are talking, and a portrait hangs on the wall.
