Get to know us better
We were founded to fulfill an unmet need to be seen, heard, found, and understood.
After spending years looking for and not finding spaces that were affordable and connected to a genuine collaborative community, our founder, LaGina Harris, created The Us Space!
The Us Space (TUS) is a women of color (WOC) focused collective that answers the challenges of accessibility and the lack of convenience. We help members combat the feelings of loneliness that come from working from home and
growing a business alone by providing an alternative to this reality.
TUS was created to be a positive, affirming, and uplifting environment where ideas can flourish safely. We are an inclusive community where everyone is welcome and ‘the table’ is built with women of color specifically in mind.
Mission
The Us Space is intentionally creating innovative ways to approach spaces for women of color, women-led businesses, & women-centric organizations to thrive.
Vision
The Us Space is the lightning rod for our Collective members to have increased opportunities to find what they need, are seen, supported, and others can find our goods and services.

Hi, I’m LaGina
Founder of The Us Space
“I’m intentional about everything I do.”
Creating The Us Space is the culmination of a journey rooted in personal experiences and a deep understanding of the needs of women in pursuit of their dreams. Originally born out of necessity, this sacred space has evolved into a haven where women are not just the exception but the rule, supported, and encouraged. My intentional efforts in crafting this experience aim to leave an indelible mark, providing a space for women to thrive.
The genesis of TUS traces back over six years ago during my time in Austin, TX. Working across various organizations, I consistently felt a lack of visibility, understanding, and value. In response, I started organizing art shows during my spare time, bringing together a community of talented creatives. This experience highlighted the significance of community in my life, a connection I didn’t realize I needed. As I delved into research on women-centric organizations, I discovered the absence of the community I yearned for.
Thus, TUS was born in 2020, a dedication to building the community I craved – one where ‘different’ thrives, and creativity is not just fostered but encouraged. If you’re a woman seeking a supportive, connected, and collaborative space, or looking to overcome the solitude of creating alone, we extend a warm welcome to a place like no other.
Come take your seat at the table.
The Meaning Behind Our Logo
As we’ve mentioned, there is intention behind everything we do and our logo is no different. Many have asked if there is symbolism behind the use of the three triangles and our answer is always, of course!
The logo was developed through collaboration with members of TUS. The rounded triangles represent the beauty, smoothness, and compassion that women have. The curves in the logo represent our bodies and the power, collaboration, and representation of women. Finally, the center triangle means all roads lead to collaboration. If you look closely you can also see the “W” at the intersection representing the womb of women as we birth something amazing at The Us Space.
