About VIM: The Black Girl Collective
This is more than just a vibe. It’s a movement.
VIM: The Black Girl Collective is a curated series of luxury social experiences for Black women to feel seen, celebrated, and connected. Born in Manchester, we’ve grown into a UK-wide and international network, bringing intentional joy, meaningful connection, and unforgettable moments to Black women everywhere.
The Collective began with two exclusive groups in March 2025, each bringing together twelve women over five months. From luxury launch parties to cosy pyjama nights, retro 70s celebrations, roller skating, bottomless brunches, and special gifts like private pilates and karaoke with prosecco, every experience is carefully curated to be intimate, joyful, and purpose-led.
What We Do:
✨ Curate luxury themed experiences, intimate dinners, and vibrant social mixers
🌍 Connect Black women across cities through shared experiences and travel
🎉 Create spaces rooted in joy, ease, growth, and genuine sisterhood
💌 Build community online and offline through content, conversation, and connection
Why It Matters:
There are still not enough spaces where Black women are prioritised, celebrated, and truly seen. So we created our own. We are not waiting to be invited. We choose each other, set the tone, and show up with intention every single time.
Meet the Founder
Hey, I’m Ruwaydah, content creator, presenter, and founder of VIM, and the woman behind it all. I started the Collective to create something real: a space where Black women can connect, share experiences, and make memories that last. Whether you’re new to a city or just looking for community, I wanted you to know there’s a place for you here.
Beyond the Collective, I run my TikTok and work with brands to bring ideas to life. From curated experiences to destination dinners, everything I do is rooted in purpose and powered by community.
