Are you feeling way too socially distant these days? Social isolation doesn’t have to mean complete disconnect from everyone you know and love. We’re trying to help make it easier for you to meet like-minded women while you’re stuck at home.

The lockdown-blues are hitting all of us pretty hard. It’s tough to stay at home for such long periods of time! Hopefully, you’ve been FaceTiming your friends and family. Or, maybe you’re inviting them to your Animal Crossing island for a little escapism. Letting yourself have fun in what is otherwise a darker time is healthy and good for the soul.

While this situation isn’t ideal for anyone, we are lucky in certain ways. Technology has made it possible to connect in ways that were never available before. Even playing video games with friends from a distance can be comforting and relaxing. It was almost perfect timing for a game like Animal Crossing to come out. Naturally, the game would have been a hit regardless. However, people found a lot of comfort in being able to visit their friends on their fictional islands when it can feel like we’re living on islands IRL (In Real Life), too.

We’ve decided we wanted to help you out on that front! So, we’ve launched a Facebook group called “The Virtual Hangout.” Here, you can connect with the group’s members and participate in fun, weekly activities. And, since these activities are weekly, there’s hopefully something to fit everyone’s schedule. Our goal is to help you stay social while social distancing. Women from all over the world connecting and uplifting each other.
