What a night! 🙌🏿

Big shoutout to everyone who came through for another incredible “Brotha’s Meet” hosted by Marvin .logistics .

🔥 The ci**rs, drinks, and vibes were top tier, but what made it truly special was the sense of community and connection that we all shared.

In spaces like this, it’s more than just a gathering – it’s about brotherhood. 🖤 It’s about creating a space where men can come together, be themselves, and lift each other up.

From deep conversations to lighthearted laughs, these moments remind us why building and maintaining our bonds is so important.

The community out here in Portugal is everything. 🌍 It’s powerful to see brothers coming together, holding space for one another, and leaving stronger than we came. Big thanks to Marvin for his hospitality and vision – these events are exactly what we need.
Until next time, fam! ✊🏿

HERE ARE 5 REASONS TO JOIN OUR COMMUNITY

Are you a black expat in Portugal or part of the black local community? We’re here for you! We are a dynamic black community group based in Lisbon, dedicated to serving the greater Portugal area.

our community play a crucial role in fostering a sense of belonging, especially for Black expats and the local Black community in Portugal.

Our mission:
- To host engaging events and meetups
- highlight and support Black-owned businesses and local businesses
- foster a strong sense of community for us all
- provide relocation resources

Here’s why:

1. Building Connections: Relocating to a new country can be isolating, particularly for minority communities. Social events provide a platform to connect with others who share similar cultural backgrounds and experiences. These connections help in building a support network, which is vital for emotional well-being and integration into the local culture.

2. Supporting Black-Owned Businesses: By organizing events that highlight and support local Black-owned businesses, we contribute to the economic empowerment of our community. This not only helps these businesses thrive but also fosters a sense of pride and ownership within the community.

3. Cultural Preservation: Social events that celebrate our heritage through music, art, and food play a critical role in preserving and promoting our cultural identity. They provide a space to express and share our traditions with the broader community, ensuring that our culture remains vibrant and visible.

4. Resource Sharing: Events also serve as a platform for sharing valuable resources and information, particularly for those who are new to Portugal. Whether it’s advice on navigating the local bureaucracy, finding housing, or understanding the healthcare system, these gatherings are an opportunity to learn from others’ experiences and make the relocation process smoother.

5. Creating a Sense of Belonging: Ultimately, social events help to create a sense of belonging. They remind us that we are not alone in our experiences and that we have a community to turn to for support, encouragement, and companionship.

By coming together and supporting the community, we not only enrich our own lives but also contribute to the strength and unity of our community in Portugal. Let's continue to come together, celebrate our culture, and support one another.
