JOIN NARRA'S SMALL BUSINESS WEEK HAPPENING MAY 6-9!
Not Just a Coworking Space - A Platform for Possibility
Join a woman and minority-owned space where community comes first.
Traditional Workspaces Weren’t Built With You in Mind.
Working parents juggling deadlines and daycare. BIPOC founders lacking support. Creatives without space to create. Too many are building with heart—but without a home base that gets it.

Hot desks and reserved desks for creatives, founders, and freelancers
Family Lounge
Work while your kids play, learn and grow
Private Office Suites

Narra for Business
Custom passes & offsite solutions for mission-aligned teams and local organizations
Community & Events That Matter

Meeting Rooms
Private, bookable spaces for team sessions or client calls








Your Next Steps Are Simple
1. Book a Tour
Come by, see the space, and get a feel for what we’re building here.
2. Pick Your Plan
Choose the membership that fits your rhythm—whether it’s a flex pass, dedicated desk, or private suite.
3. Plug Into Our Community and Grow With Us
Get connected, stay inspired, and surround yourself with people who get it. Because building something meaningful is easier (and way more fun) when you’re not doing it alone.
We Know What It’s Like to Build From Scratch
Narra was founded by Sheila “Shy” Burmistrova—a Filipina entrepreneur and former stay-at-home mom—who bootstrapped this space with personal savings, grit, and zero institutional backing. She didn’t wait for permission. She created the space she wished existed.
