Jillian Richardson

Jillian Richardson is the founder of The Joy List, a newsletter with the mission of making New York City — and eventually the world — a less lonely place. She also hosts The Joy List Social, an event where you can show up by yourself and leave with a new friend. She saw the need for community, so she built one.

When she's not busy gathering, you can find her talking to dogs, dancing, and exploring the event scene in Brooklyn.

Jillian deeply believes that bringing people together is a sacred act; and that most of the world's problems stem from a lack of connection. She wants to inspire others to make healthy congregations, and co-create an unlonely planet.
