Diverse Hampton Roads Networking Event (Southside)

Join us for the Diverse Hampton Roads Southside Networking Event on March 31, 2026, at 6:00 PM at Desmond's Island Soul Grill.

Connect with fellow micro and small business owners, nonprofit leaders, and community members for an evening of meaningful conversation, collaboration, and relationship building.

While our networking events are typically free, this gathering includes a $10 ticket that covers a catered vegan meal from Desmond’s Island Soul Grill. We’re grateful for the opportunity to host this event at a local Black, woman, and veteran-owned restaurant, and your ticket helps support this small business in our community.

Your ticket includes:

• Main: Signature Vegan Rasta Pasta — a creamy pasta with Caribbean-inspired spices (see image)
• Side: Fresh Salad
• Beverage: Island Punch, Tea, or Water

This is a relaxed networking experience designed to help you connect with others who are also building businesses and organizations across Hampton Roads.
