(02) About

### What is Audacious AF?

Audacious AF is a New York City community for women leaders who are building, or starting to build, with AI.

Founded in 2026 by Maggie Blackburn, Paige Kehoe, and Samantha Provenza, we gather in small formats: hands-on workshops, salon-style discussions, and meetups where you can talk about what excites us, scares us, and overwhelms us, without explaining your background first.

We keep rooms intentionally small and prioritize depth over volume. By invitation or application only.
