Pull up a chair, wherever you are.
At the Table is our online community — open to women anywhere. It was never really about the tiles. It was for the conversation, the friendships, the permission to slow down and belong somewhere.
It was never really about the tiles.
You don't need to play mahjong to belong here.
I started Let's Mahj because I believed women needed a place to gather. I did it for me. I did it for you, too.
What I discovered is that we weren't really looking for a game. We were looking for permission to slow down. To be seen. To laugh. To exhale. To belong.
That's what At the Table is really about — and it's the whole reason I wrote Why We Mahjong.
For now, At the Table lives online, so any woman can pull up a chair no matter where she is. Every month brings something to read, something to talk about, and a place to be known.
