OUR FOUNDER
Meet Lillian Jackson.
She moved to a new city, could not find her people and built a table for them instead. You may have seen her in Yahoo, Essence, Travel Noire or on ABC.

HER STORY
Building the table she wanted.
Lillian brings more than 20 years of Human Resources leadership to everything she builds. She is a proud mother, calls Las Vegas home and travels every chance she gets.
01
Richmond roots
Lillian grew up in Richmond, Virginia. Her grandmother made things happen even when the resources were not there, and that stuck. Lillian became a first-generation college student and earned her degree in Psychology from the University of Maryland.
02
A new city, no circle
Her career in Human Resources took her to Pittsburgh, far from everything she knew. When she later moved to Las Vegas, she stopped waiting for friendships to happen and created the space herself.
03
Brunch becomes a movement
She hosted the first Brown Skin Brunchin' in 2018. Today it is a community of over 40,000 women with nearly 90 chapters, plus getaways, cruises and an online community.
