The Ultimate List For Coworking Spaces Created By Women
Being an entrepreneur isn't always the glam life you see from folks on IG.
You're not always working from some bomb beach resort, getting flewed out to speak at conferences, or always receiving influencer packages in the mail because you're that startup chick that everyone loves. The reality is that often you're working long days and nights, forgoing brunch dates with your girls to instead work on pitch decks, and at times you're halfway losing your mind trying to figure out how to increase profits, grow your team, and scale your business.
Working on building the business of your dreams is arguably one of the hardest things ever, but it's even harder when you don't have a dedicated workspace to get your projects done. While yes, you can work from a coffee shop here and there, be honest with yourself. Those lattés, oolong teas, and flaky croissants add up over time. Working from home is also an option, but sometimes trying to be productive from your comfy couch can be tough for one to maintain focus.
One solution that many people are turning to are coworking spaces.
Coworking spaces provide people opportunities to work on their business or other projects, while being surrounded by like-minded people and amazing amenities like fitness classes, free snacks and coffee, and curated events. Many coworking spaces are co-ed, but recently, more spaces are being created dedicated exclusively to women. Currently, there are several coworking spaces designed with a focus on women. We've done the hard part for you and sourced the web for some of the best coworking spaces on the market.
Here are 20 female-focused (with a touch of some POC-focused) coworking spaces created by women, giving us all the opportunity to boss up, network, and grow our businesses.

ItGirl In Motion: DonYé Taylor Asked Herself This Question When Creating Her Brainchild
"Being an 'ItGirl' is all about being yourself and taking all of the elements that make you who you are and displaying them at your highest capability," creative brainiac DonYé Taylor says in the introduction of the limited video series, "ItGirl In Motion."
In partnership with Hyundai, xoNecole has unveiled the limited series in conjunction with our inaugural ItGirl 100 list. The list boasts 100 Black women who not only innovate and take up space when it comes to putting on for their cities, but also as the driving force behind brands that create impact for the culture. ItGirl DonYé Taylor is one of the 100 featured ladies who put her purpose into action.
ITGIRL IN MOTION with DONYE TAYLORwww.youtube.com
As a marketing consultant, content creator, and CEO, a driving force behind DonYé's ambitions has been to show others how she sees the world by "creating art and doing things that shift perspective." In founding her brainchild, Nüclei, which is coincidentally also home to the ever-so-chic chrome brain piggybank, DonYé briefly touched on the inspiration behind the brand. "I was like, 'What would it look like if I were to be of service to myself?' And that's what made me create Nuclei," she said.
Watch the video above to take a peek into the life of the LA-based ItGirl, the importance of Black women receiving our "flowers" while we're here, and the three things she believes are absolutely essential to any ItGirl.
