Who Created FRU?

Founder and Ceo: Ellie Barker

Ellie, the driving force behind FRU, is passionate about creating inclusive spaces within the dance community. As the dedicated organizer, Ellie's commitment to fostering an environment that celebrates diversity, safety, and empowerment has helped shaped the success of Female Ravers United. That along with every member, and every volunteer past or present.

Ellie believes every voice should be represented. Here's a quote from her at the Female Ravers United Panel at Electric Forest.

"The roots of house and techno are black, they are brown, and they are queer. These spaces are ones marginalized communities know that when they walk through the door they will be protected, they will be heard, and they will feel safe. That is something I am trying to bring to the world." ❤️ - Ellie
