You bought the ticket.

You booked the trip.

And then you realized…

Wait. Who am I going with?

The Invitation

You may be coming to 
Paris alone, but that's okay...we're doing something about it!

Join us in Paris for a cocktail happy hour, conversation, and connection before you meet up with Jaÿ Z for the concert.

Come solo or bring a friend. Leave knowing someone new, and spend the evening simply enjoying being N*ggas in Paris!

Because sometimes the best part of going somewhere new are the people you meet when you get there.

Two women. One city.

One helps women move to France. 
One takes women to explore France and live beautifully. 
Both believe women shouldn't have to experience the world alone.

Colet Williams

Eat the Damn Bread

Host of Eat the Damn Bread, a podcast and platform celebrating French living, travel, culture, and the pleasure of making a life worth savoring. She is also the founder and curator of Curated Retreats, luxury retreats for Black women in the South of France, hosted since 2019.

A small-town Texas girl who traded hustle culture for extended stays on the French Riviera, champagne lunches, and living life on her own terms, Colet believes in luxury and lounging, business and pleasure, and helping women build lives they're obsessed with.

Her philosophy is simple: go anyway.

Latrice Shepherd

Paris Chic Code

Founder of Paris Chic Code, a Paris-based boutique relocation agency that has become the gateway and gold standard for Black women migrating to France. Through a proprietary framework built from over a decade on the ground, Latrice doesn't just advise on the move — she architects it.

Latrice has spent eleven years turning "someday" into an actual address. Dual French-American citizen, full-time Parisienne, and proof that the leap isn't reckless — it's plannable.

The Paris Chic Code philosophy is simple: Black women deserve rest, beauty, and sovereignty — not as a reward for labor, but as a default state of being.


Because Paris is always better 
when you know someone there.
