It’s been a whole year since Malini’s Girl Tribe, a humble Facebook group snowballed into a space where women can be their truest selves—even on the internet. As ironic as that might sound, let me just tell you that every bit of it stands true. The girl tribe is as real as it gets—we discuss everything from picking pimples to divorce, eating healthy and everything in between.
Now, when something as rich and wholesome as The Girl Tribe completes one whole year, we knew we had to come up with a totally way to celebrate that compared to no other! That’s how the idea to host a BRAVE aka a Breakfast Rave was born. Malini’s Girl Tribe and Snapchat collaborated to create a morning full of great activities, fun and lots of prizes exclusively for the Tribe—and it’s safe to say that it was a morning none of the girls would ever forget!
So, what is a BRAVE?
A BRAVE aka a ‘Breakfast Rave’ is a non-alcoholic party with music, dancing, breakfast foods, and Malini’s Girl Tribe! Here, we did our favorite things from dancing to Bollywood music, taking a billion selfies, eating to our heart’s content and making memories that would last a lifetime. You might frown at the idea of doing a ‘rave’ in the morning time, but that’s exactly what we’re redefining.
The way you celebrate doesn’t always need to be under bright, disco lights with overflowing alcohol and chakna, y’know? We, as a tribe love to party in every way there is, but this time around we wanted to make it extra special and so the idea of a ‘Breakfast Rave’ was born—complete with all-natural cold-pressed juices from Raw Pressery and great food from Cafe Zoe.
BRAVE day, was unlike any other Sunday you might have lived before, it was a day that began bright and early. Energies were high, schedules were busy but boy, oh boy was it fun!

After all the hard work team MissMalini had put into making BRAVE happen, the day had finally arrived! We were at Cafe Zoe before sunrise, setting up everything to get the party started. We received a sweet message from Swara Bhaskar on the occasion of Malini’s Girl Tribe’s one year anniversary. Check it out here:

After the Snapchat swing was set up, the decorations were hung and the yoga mats were placed, we had a yoga sesh with Sarvesh Shashi from Diva Yoga. This session was specifically created to get our bodies streched out and our minds relaxed for the day ahead.

Where do we even begin with this? Dance Meditation with Junelia Aguiar was a life-changing class for our BRAVE-rs, to say the least! This activity is designed to make you get in touch with yourself and become more aware of who you are and let’s just say that the girls experienced a shift in the way they perceive life and it was amazing! Through the medium of dance and movement, we learned to let out energies and feelings we no longer needed to feel. This session was crafted to help every individual become more self-aware and grow from things that bound them.
8:00 am
After all the exercise, it was time to reward ourselves with some breakfast. Thanks to Cafe Zoe we got start our Sunday morning with mini pancakes, bacon tartlets, mini croissants and lots of other delicious food. To top it off we relished the Snapchat-themed dessert while taking about 27301 picture with it.

If you know the Girl Tribe, you know they love a good dance party! Now it didn’t matter that it was 9:00 am on a Sunday morning, once DJ Khushi played her ace Bollywood playlist, all the girls were breaking it down on the dancefloor. But one of our favourite moments had to be our very own @printedcollar dancing with Sacred Games‘ actress Kubbra Sait—the desi thumkas were strong with these two!

While we munched on some good food, and danced our hearts out—we made sure to capture all those Snapchat selfies with our very own custom Be Brave lens! How cute, right?

It’s lucky draw time! A few lucky girls from the tribe won some vouchers to aqua therapy by Aquacentric and light therapy by 1000 Petals. The Girl Tribe very literally is the gift that keeps on giving.
Adhuna Bhabani came to celebrate one year of the tribe with us and decided to give away a haircut that she’d personally do herself as a gift to the Tribe too! How amazing is that?!
From Tarot reading to dream-catcher making and face art as well—the girls dove head-first into all the activities we had planned out for them. Don’t believe us? Here’s a little glimpse of just that…

I guess the saying is true, all good things do come to an end. And just like that our first BRAVE ended with loads of hugs, love, and grateful hearts! After seeing the ah-mazing turnout at this event, and the neverending love
We cannot wait to host more of them for our tribe! It was a time where we could bring our digital conversation to life and honestly, we wish it could have lasted the entire day!
Big love to Studio 7 Design & Advertising and Leo & Gang for helping us pull this event off so effortlessly! Truly, when you let your vibe attract your tribe, you end up with the best people to uphold you.
We’ve been wishing we could relive this day over and over again. BRAVE was the perfect way to celebrate our girl tribe’s one year anniversary! Let’s keep it growing and flourishing and till then wait in anticipation for our next BRAVE! Are you a part of Malini’s Girl Tribe yet? If not, join it here and become a part of a space that you can call your own forever.
