Lennon Flowers is the co-founder and executive director of The Dinner Party. This platform offers a space for grieving 20- and 30-somethings to find peer community and build lasting relationships. Lennon came up with the idea after her mom died during Lennon’s senior year of college. Today, The Dinner Party has more than 4000 active members that gather at local tables and more than 100 cities and towns around the world.

On this episode of WPSU’s Take Note, I talked with Lennon about her own experience with grief, the unique challenges of experiencing loss in early adulthood, and how The Dinner Party Works.
