Facilitated by Sarah Lopez & Hayley Russell
Sarah Lopez is a passionate advocate for queer women in San Antonio. After moving to the city a few years ago to embark on a career as a software engineer, Sarah sought a strong sense of community and sisterhood. This journey led her to For Her, a vibrant support group where connection thrives. Recognizing the need for solidarity among queer women, Sarah took the initiative to spearhead the annual Pride events and the ongoing Queer Connections group at For Her. With a commitment to inclusivity, Sarah aims to foster an environment where everyone feels uplifted, seen, and valued. Now, as Sarah embarks on a new path by attending law school at St. Mary’s, the goal remains the same: to empower and support the community.
As a single parent for the past six years, Hayley Russell has learned how to navigate life after leaving a decade-long abusive relationship and embracing her queer identity. During this pivotal chapter of her life, For Her’s diverse groups gave her more than just support—they offered healing, confidence, and a sense of belonging she didn’t know she could find. Now, Hayley is excited to give back by leading Queer Connections and helping others step into their own light. She is a fierce believer in the power of community, shared stories, and holding space for each other as we grow. Hayley’s hope is to offer the same care and connection that lifted her up when she needed it most.

Her Circle: Single Moms
2025-09-22 18:00 - 19:30 | For Her Community Space, 8546 Broadway, Suite 255, San Antonio, TX, 78217, United States
Her Circle: Single Moms is a bi-monthly peer support group created to foster deep connection, shared healing, and collective empowerment for single moms. Rooted in the belief that healing happens in community, this circle offers a safe and welcoming space where moms can come as they are, be seen and heard, and know they are not alone. Each session, moms will gather to engage in guided conversations, interactive activities, and communal storytelling. Together, they will explore real-life topics like identity, self-care, parenting dynamics, financial stability, and love—always with a focus on honesty, encouragement, and sisterhood.
During the group, moms can expect to:

Experience a sense of belonging and connection through shared stories and lived experiences
Build lasting community with other single moms who understand the unique challenges they face
Gain practical tools to navigate everyday stressors and major life transitions
Rediscover their voice and identity beyond motherhood
Celebrate their resilience, while learning to extend grace to themselves and others

Friends are always welcome. Snacks, drinks, and onsite babysitting are provided; feel free to bring your own dinner!

Facilitated by Sarah Lopez & Hayley Russell
Sarah Lopez is a passionate advocate for queer women in San Antonio. After moving to the city a few years ago to embark on a career as a software engineer, Sarah sought a strong sense of community and sisterhood. This journey led her to For Her, a vibrant support group where connection thrives. Recognizing the need for solidarity among queer women, Sarah took the initiative to spearhead the annual Pride events and the ongoing Queer Connections group at For Her. With a commitment to inclusivity, Sarah aims to foster an environment where everyone feels uplifted, seen, and valued. Now, as Sarah embarks on a new path by attending law school at St. Mary’s, the goal remains the same: to empower and support the community.
As a single parent for the past six years, Hayley Russell has learned how to navigate life after leaving a decade-long abusive relationship and embracing her queer identity. During this pivotal chapter of her life, For Her’s diverse groups gave her more than just support—they offered healing, confidence, and a sense of belonging she didn’t know she could find. Now, Hayley is excited to give back by leading Queer Connections and helping others step into their own light. She is a fierce believer in the power of community, shared stories, and holding space for each other as we grow. Hayley’s hope is to offer the same care and connection that lifted her up when she needed it most.
Join Sarah and Hayley at Her Circle: Queer Connections in building a lasting sense of belonging!
