Here's a close-up look inside Brooklyn's first social club for people of color whose founder plans on taking the concept nationwide

Ethel's Club is tucked away in a trendy, industrial part of Brooklyn.

It's in Brooklyn's East Williamsburg neighborhood.

More than 200 members enjoy the space daily.

When you walk in, you're immediately greeted by large, beautiful plants and a boutique featuring products made by people of color.

"Our intention is to recognize and give power to your presence, voice, and needs," founder Naj Austin wrote on the club's website.

The large, open space is bright and airy.

There are two types of memberships: a full-access membership that costs $195 per month and an events membership that costs $65 per month.

The decor is best described as a mix of Afro-centric traditions matched with fun, whimsical designs.

There's a theater space that doubles as a coworking area during the day. At night, the stadium seating is packed for people attending workshops.

Every month, Ethel's Club shows movies and documentaries featuring people of color.

Austin said she wants the space to "spark joy."

Most of the decorations, including the plants, were made by people of color, and everything in the space was sourced by women of color.

Ethel's Club features a library of about 200 books on topics including migration, race, ethnicity, diaspora, and art.

Every Monday, there's a group therapy session for writers to reflect on their work and how it relates to their emotional state.

In the wellness room, members can access a variety of sources including group therapy, meditation, and reiki. Austin said she purposely used glass doors so that others can see the wellness activities going on, and be encouraged to join.

Austin keeps a list of mental health practitioners, entrepreneurs, and artists who are interested in hosting events at the space.

Ethel's Club has a spacious kitchen that offers snacks like non-GMO popcorn and vegan "jerky."

All the snacks available for purchase are made by entrepreneurs of color.

There's a rotating art gallery near the library. Austin said she wishes she could keep the art from each rotation.

A podcast room is available for full-access members to use free of charge.

Austin said she's looking into hosting podcast-making events to teach members how to create their own.

There are two phone booths for members looking to make a personal call. Austin designed the wallpaper herself using vintage magazines.

Applications to the club are accepted on a rolling basis.

Its founder, Naj Austin, pictured, plans on growing the concept of Ethel's Club nationwide and is actively looking at other cities.

"We believe that people of color are long overdue for a space that centers the whole of their identity and experiences," Austin wrote on the club's website.
