Hi, I'm Heather!

I moved from Milwaukee, Wisconsin to Charlotte, North Carolina in 2018. I was 25 years old, newly single, and as an adult, I had no idea how to make new friends. After some time (and trying everything) I found my community, but I wished there was an easier way to meet like-minded people in an intimate setting.

 

That's when I thought of DishCourse. My goal is to grow the social wealth of everyone in Charlotte by inviting you to join us at a table of 6 strangers for dinner, brunch, or drinks.
