Chicago December Brunch

Join us for Brown Skin Brunchin’ Chicago: Melanin & Mistletoe at The Barrel Club in Oak Lawn!

We’re bringing the holiday spirit to our December brunch with good food, festive vibes, beautiful melanin, and plenty of opportunities to connect with amazing women in our community. Whether you’re a longtime Brown Skin Brunchin’ member or joining us for the very first time, this is the perfect opportunity to meet new women, build genuine connections, and celebrate the season together!

Our suggested dress code is black + gold, so think elegant, festive, and fabulous! 🖤✨

🎁 Holiday Secret Santa

We’re adding a little holiday fun to this month’s brunch! We’ll be doing a $10 Secret Santa, and don’t worry if you don’t know everyone yet—we’re making it super easy!

Each participating woman will be randomly assigned another bruncher and asked to bring a $10 gift that any woman would love. Think candles, cozy items, beauty products, chocolates, coffee/tea, journals, gift cards, or other fun little goodies.

Secret Santa is completely optional, but if you participate, please bring a wrapped $10 gift and be ready for a little holiday surprise! 🎁
