Where women in Chicago
find their people.
Ummati is the women's community in Chicago for women who want real friendships, not another networking list. From the Lakefront Trail to Logan Square, women in Chicago meet through Ummati at events that actually sound like them.

Real friendships, made in Chicago.
Chicago moves fast and winters are long, which makes finding your people harder than it should be. Our Chicago chapter fixes that with a steady rhythm of small, welcoming gatherings: sunrise walks along the lakefront, career nights in the West Loop, book clubs in Wicker Park, and cozy socials that carry women through the colder months.
Ummati is secular and inclusive. Every woman in Chicago is welcome here, whatever her background, culture, or beliefs. Come as you are.
A rhythm of things worth showing up for.

Women who found their people in Chicago.
I moved to Chicago knowing no one. Six months later my closest friends are women I met here.
