Let’s talk about switching plans and going virtual.
Bailey and Kevin of People & Company host a live interview with Carla Fernandez, co-founder, and Mary Horn, community manager, at The Dinner Party to learn about how the community has transformed since the pandemic.
The Dinner Party is a worldwide community of 20- and 30-somethings who have each experienced the loss of a loved one. “We know what it’s like to lose someone and we aren’t afraid to talk about it,” their website states.
Before the pandemic more than 400 Dinner Party tables were regularly meeting in nearly 100 cities around the world. When COVID-19 arrived in March, in-person dinner parties were no longer an option and the organization made a shift to video calls. Since then, they have added 70 new tables and launched a buddy program.
Join us for a conversation with the co-founder Carla and special guest Mary Horn, Community Manager at The Dinner Party. We’ll learn from their efforts to go virtual.

About the guests
Carla Fernandez of The Dinner Party
The Dinner Party is transforming life after loss from an isolating experience into one marked by community support, candid conversation, and forward movement using the age old practice of breaking bread.
The family dinner table is sacred ground in Carla’s family - so when her dad José passed away from brain cancer in 2010, having a potluck with other people who'd lost a parent was a natural way for Carla to unpack the experience of life after loss.
What started as an experiment on a back deck in Los Angeles, has served well over 10,000 grieving young people to date.
Listen to the story of how they started on the Get Together.
