Hello, my name is Alysha Danay January and I’m a connector of all things Baltimore. I have an Instagram/blog called Discover Charm City that shows my continuing journey of exploring Baltimore and discovering myself. I host women empowerment events called Gal Pal Events where I create a safe environment for women to come together with the same goal in mind of making a new Gal Pal (friends) in the city. Building a sense of community is so important to me and it makes me so happy to see the connections that have been made because of Gal Pal Events.
