The Beginning:
The first FOR THE GWORLS party occurred on 4th of July on a hot roof in Brooklyn, NY. Just days prior, Asanni decided to throw a party to fundraise for two friends that were facing eviction. They tapped a friend to create a flyer and helped build a playlist, asked a friend if they could use their roof, and the rest is history.
They’ve been hosting monthly parties ever since with the end goal of raising money to help people with their rent and patient-centered, affirmative medical care.

Asanni Armon is an artist, founder, party curator, and Head Doll in Charge at For The Gworls.
Asanni is from Atlanta, Georgia and currently lives in New York City. When she isn’t curating, she’s usually somewhere carrying, writing, or both.
She sees the club as a safe haven for people, and by extension, believes that it should be used as a tool to sustain livelihood.
Most importantly: she knows this can be done without compromising the carry. FTG parties serve as proof.
