Welcome to my blog. I document my adventures in travel, style, and food. Hope you have a nice stay!
All in Networking
This past weekend (Oct. 12) creatives came from all over to attend the 3rd annual CultureCon in Brooklyn. The Creative Collective NYC, a group dedicated to “facilitating brave spaces for multicultural creatives” puts on the jam-packed, day-long festival to inspire emerging creatives as well as provide attendees with practical knowledge they can put to use in their own creative endeavors.
I spent the last weekend of September with the lovely ladies of the Curly Girl Collective . They brought CurlFest to Atlanta, Georgia for the first time. The festival has been held in New York City for the last six years, but it was time for the brand to expand. CurlFest is a celebration of curls, coils, and culture, wrapped up in positive energy and Black girl magic.
I had been to NOLA before for National Urban League Conference, but the vibe at Essence Fest was something different. It was truly a reunion with people from all walks of life that came together for the one event that can possibly change their lives. I grew up reading Essence and very aware of what the magazine brings to our community.
