📸 Welcome + Met Gala After Party Recap

Hey LEVELUP in NYC Family,

Last night was active! We had the pleasure of attending Fashion Designer, Romeo Hunte’s Met Gala after party in Manhattan and it was a vibe! It was hosted by Busta Rhymes and lots of celebs and ambitious professionals were in the room. Check out the videos on our IG page for the vibes. The sponsored event in this week’s newsletter is The Ultimate Archery Brunch Myxer [Link] taking place on June 22nd! We are also sponsored by Creator Economy NYC to help promote their upcoming Creator Conference with a special deal for $100 off admission! Check out our partner events below—then scroll down for over 80+ more upcoming events to LEVELUP your network!
