From Guyana to Turkey to the Globe

Curiosity Connections was born from a quiet rebellion.
We found ourselves moving between worlds—between cultures, between expectations, between who we were and who the room needed us to be. We watched the performance of connection eclipse the real thing. So we created the kind of space we were always looking for.
Not a networking event. A gathering. Not a place to posture. A place to land.
What began as a brunch table has become a global circle where stories matter more than status, and reflection is more than a luxury; it's the key to clarity, confidence, and care.
We both left our home countries as teenagers—one from Guyana to New York, the other from Turkey to the U.S. We speak different languages, but we share the same belief: we all experience the same fundamental emotions. That truth is at the heart of everything we build.
From Singapore to South Africa, from Madrid to New York, from introverts to extroverts, we design for those seeking deeper human connection in response to the always-on pull for our attention.
Together, we host curated experiences that blend cultural storytelling with soul-centered gathering. Our events are intimate, intentional, and rooted in a shared desire to lead more fulfilled lives.
We are not anti-networking. We are pro-human. This is a return to being, not just doing. A celebration of difference. A reminder that care is strategy. And that curiosity connects us all.
Whether you're seasoned in your career or just coming into your own, you belong here.
Come curious. Leave connected.
💛
