Crime, general fear, and the perception of “unsafe“ areas tend to limit women’s freedom of movement in their cities. But through each Grub event, we get to create safe spaces that move around with them.
Women are raised to see one another as competition. On top of that, we tend to be drawn to people who look like us and share our cultures or beliefs. And these barriers rob us of so much. So, at Grub we create spaces where women can come as they are, and experience true belonging and connection without the limit of biases.
We believe that life exists on the other side of our fear. So, whether it’s trying out an activity that scares you, showing up to an event where you don’t know anyone, or striking up a convo with a stranger, every Grub event is a chance to leave braver than you walked in.
We are very aware that South Africa's history of systemic segregation shapes where racial groups live and socialise today. So we're very intentional about creating Grub events that get women outside of their suburbs to explore the spaces they don’t see themselves in.
Our cities are special because of all the proudly local venues, businesses, and brands that make them. Through every Grub event we expose women, and in turn their families and friends, to local businesses they can start supporting.
We are absolutely obsessed with our cities. And whether you’ve been a local all your life, or you’ve just moved from another province or country, nothing makes us happier than helping other women fall in love with their city too.
