Bringing Women Together Since 2013
Brown Skin Women is a community dedicated to bringing women together through social gatherings, shared experiences, and meaningful connections.
Founded in Hartford, Connecticut, in 2013, BSW began as a natural hair blog and grew into an international community through education, events, and in-person experiences.
Today, Brown Skin Women is returning to its original focus: creating opportunities for women to connect beyond the screen.
Through BSW Socials, we’re bringing women together to build friendships, enjoy shared experiences, and make meaningful connections.
Our gatherings are returning to Hartford, Connecticut, with plans to expand to additional cities in 2027.
Meet Our Founder
Carmen Veal Conway founded Brown Skin Women in 2013 with a desire to connect with women beyond the digital spaces where they first met.
What began as a natural hair blog grew into a community that hosted meetups, brunches, expos, and educational experiences.
Over the years, Carmen expanded her work into natural hair education, professional training, and entrepreneurship. She is also the founder of Sani Auri and author of the forthcoming The Truth About Natural Hair (Agate/Bolden, Fall 2027).
Today, she continues her work in natural hair care through Sani Auri while leading Brown Skin Women’s return to in-person social experiences.
