About Allena Fleming

Ever wonder why it\'s so hard to make real friends as an adult?I used to think something was wrong with me. I\'d move to a new city, meet people through work, collect connections—but the friendships always felt surface-level. Transactional. Like everyone was waiting for someone else to go first.That\'s why I built CREEW.We create curated spaces—both virtual and in-person—where people can connect authentically through creative activities and shared experiences. No awkward networking energy. No forced small talk. Just real community.What we offer:→ Virtual community on Discord (book clubs, coworking, storytelling nights)→ In-person micro-communities in New Orleans + Houston (craft circles, tennis clubs, creative collectives, mommy meetups)→ Community hosts who are local culture bearers→ Experiences designed to make genuine connection feel natural, not forcedWhat we\'ve built:→ 200+ members across the country→ 15+ ongoing community series (from Black Women in Burnout support to Try New Stuff Club adventures)→ Weekly virtual + in-person experiences→ 94% would recommend to a friendRight now: Launching new cities + planning summer experiences where anyone globally can join us IRL.If you\'ve ever felt lonely despite being \"connected,\" you\'re not alone.
