Black Girls Mahjong, Too was preparing a Charlotte gathering as its network grew beyond founder Saafiyah Wiltshire’s living room. QCity Metro’s June 5, 2026, report describes a community that centers Black women while welcoming other players.
Wiltshire began teaching eight people in March 2025 after feeling uncomfortable in earlier lessons. The article reports a core group of 60 and expansion through chapters and pop-ups. Its June 6 Charlotte event sold out within five days and was planned as the first gathering at the new Heron House studio.
The report also describes plans for a permanent Charlotte chapter. These details reflect the group’s position before the event; the gathering and subsequent chapter activity have not been independently confirmed for this brief.
