Hey LEVELUP in NYC Family,

This week is all about making moves, and we’re jumping in full force. We kicked things off at the AfroTech NYC Meetup last night—big vibes, solid connections, and a signed copy of Morgan DeBaun’s new book to top it off. And it only gets better— the star-studded National Action Network Convention happens this Wednesday through Saturday (did you get your free ticket yet?). Friday there’s the NY Black MBA Spring Mixer AND the BERG Collective event at the Whitney Museum. It’s going to be a jam packed week, but we’re here for it. Also, we are doing something new where we’ll share LEVELUP in NYC partner events here in this section so you know which events we’ll be partnering with. Keep scrolling below for 60+ upcoming events that are about to LEVELUP your network.
