Celebrating gal palsMumbai-based HerStory community is a hosting a unique Galentine`s experience for all the girls and their girlfriends this Valentine`s Day. You can not only expect good food and drinks, but also life-long friends, and a community of people. Tuhina Upadhyay, co-founder of the event, explains, “Hosting this Galentine’s experience together with my best friend of over ten years naturally shaped the spirit of the evening. We wanted to create the kind of space we’ve always valued in our own friendship — warm, trusting, welcoming, and conversation-led.”
“It’s a safe space where women can meet new people while also engaging in honest discussions around gender bias, sexism, friendship, love, and everyday lived experiences. All alongside a thoughtfully curated grazing table and our 0-proof bar programme. But, another thing that truly makes the event different is the intention behind it: women leaving with genuine friendships and connections that continue well beyond the event,” adds Sanaa Mangalore, co-founder, HerStory.
