Meet The Team!

Just kidding, sistren.

I’m the only one. . .for now.

Chemere Merrida, Founder

I’ve always loved being surrounded by my phenomenal friends — women who radiate strength, grace, and authenticity. There’s something sacred about gathering around a table filled with good food, a glass of wine, and laughter that warms the soul. It’s in those moments that I feel most alive, most seen, and most connected.

From those experiences, the heart of Tribe & Squad was born. I wanted to create a space where women — especially women of color — could exhale. A place where we could show up as our full selves, free from judgment or pretense. A sanctuary of safety and love where every woman feels like she belongs.

I’ve always believed that friendship is one of life’s greatest blessings. But too often, women pour endlessly into others without having a space to be poured into themselves. Tribe & Squad is my way of changing that narrative — a reminder that sisterhood should be reciprocal, uplifting, and deeply nourishing.

My dream is for every woman who experiences Tribe & Squad to leave feeling seen, celebrated, and empowered to cultivate the same kind of love-filled, judgment-free spaces in their own circles.
