ENVSN Festival 2019

Last September, I had the opportunity to attend ENVSN Festival in Industry City, Brooklyn.

ENVSN is a multi-dimensional community, committed to the professional and self-development of Gen Z and millennial adapters and their aficionados. Their programming is dedicated to valuable career and personal development conversations, our platform is dedicated to cultivating the talent, dreams and sustainability of youth culture in an inclusive environment, that promotes collaboration, discovery, and conversation.

The visionary behind this women-empowering festival is Sharifa Murdock, an innovative, savvy, yet compassionate leader in the fashion industry. Laura Styles, a radio personality at HOT97 partnered with Sharifa to bring this festival to life with her many connections in the industry.

The 2-day festival held panel conversations, workshops, brand activations, giveaways and all female djs and performers with the likes of: Tinashe, Saweetie, Queen Naija, Doja Cat, Angelica Vila and more. The festival-goers experienced the best in next-generation food, performances and panel discussions featuring media mavens and entertainers like Angela Yee, Gia Peppers, Karen Civil, Queen Naija and more.

This festival is still fairly new and I think it will expand once COVID is under control. Festivals hold a special place in my heart, but ENVSN focuses on career development and networking. From the girls serving looks to all of my cute prizes, I loved attending because it’s in a small and intimate setting. It gave me an opportunity to talk to women from other media outlets/organizations. They even set up cute backgrounds to have photoshoots in front of at the marketplace, and I thought that was so smart! Of course, I bumped into a few of my creative friends from the industry. It’s always fun to be around like-minded individuals that have the same interests as you.
