sisterhood + belonging
for black women
Kinory is a sacred space where Black women gather offline to root, rest, and reconnect with one another and ourselves. We match you to intimate, story-rich dinners designed to nourish your spirit and awaken your sense of belonging.
THIS ISN'T JUST DINNER, IT'S A REMEMBERING...
YOU
WEREN'T MEANT TO DO LIFE ALONE
But finding your people shouldn't feel like another job.
At Kinory, we're rewiring what community feels like. No hustle. No proving. Just Black women gathering in intimate circles where they can be seen, held and fed. Every dinner is a chance to slow down, speak freely, and reconnect with what matters.
This is more than a meal. It's a movement rooted in joy, rest, and real connection. Because you deserve softness that stays, not just a one-off event, but a circle that keeps circling back.

To be frank —we're not here to help you network. So if you're here for that, that's not us.
We’re here to create the kind of sisterhood that resists, resets, and reminds you of who you are.
We weren't designed to pour endlessly into everyone else while running on empty. An yet, too many of us are doing life without a circle that truly sees us.
Kinory was created to change that.
Small tables. Deep connections. Consistent care.
Because you deserve a space that doesn't just include you, it centers you.

...IT WAS A return to myself .
A SPACE WHERE SOFTNESS WAS STRENGTH, VULNERABILITY WAS SACRED, AND CONNECTION WAS the MEDICINE.

ABOUT the
FOUNDER
I'm Crystle, the founder of Kinory and someone who deeply understands what it means to crave sisterhood.
Like so many Black women, I've moved through rooms that were more interested in my labor than my story. I created Kinory as a sacred interruption to all of that.
I know you're not just looking for a dinner invite but a space where you don't have shrink, prove, or perform. You want to be chosen, seen, and met in your fullness.
I help Black women who are saving the world, save themselves first.
