Write. Create. Relax

The Metaphor Club…The Epicenter of Black Intellectual Creativity

There are thousands of co-working spaces in Los Angeles, so why join The Metaphor Club? Yes, we’re the largest Black owned creative co-working space in California, but why choose us? Easy. We see you. We see you working on your screenplay, your business, your non-profit, your PhD, your dreams. We see you needing to balance your work and life. We see you needing an unapologetically Black space, one where you can be you. We see you, so why don’t you come by The Metaphor Club and see us.

The Metaphor Club is the creative space you didn’t think you deserved!

Anyone can put tables in a room and call their business a creative space. We actually know what a creative space should be. Maybe that’s why the average member stays about six hours. That’s when you know your space is working.

Rethink your idea of creativity!

I have two degrees in industrial engineering, and I used to think that creativity was just for writers and artists. I couldn’t have been more wrong. The Metaphor Club sparks creativity for everyone because it’s an intellectual space. You think differently when you’re around different people.

The Metaphor Club isn’t just in the neighborhood, but of the neighborhood!

I grew up in West Adams, and it was important to me that we open The Metaphor Club on Crenshaw, the main artery of the Black community. We see ourselves as reflecting the heartbeat of Black Los Angeles, and that means being a resource to our neighborhood.

Our aim is to make The Metaphor Club the epicenter of Black intellectual creativity!

I jokingly say that The Metaphor Club is wacktose intolerant, in that we don’t do anything that we think is wack. We know that we have an opportunity to be a creative force not just here in Los Angeles, but worldwide.
