Welcome + Recap of Where Are All the Black People Conference 🎥

Hello LEVELUP in NYC Family,

October's here, and we’re officially in Q4! Last week, we hit up the Where Are All the Black People Conference with The One Club for Creativity, and it was such a vibe. We got to hear from heavy hitters like Rashad Bilal and Troy Millings of Earn Your Leisure, and the energy was 🔥. ICYMI, check out the best moments in our 🎞️ Instagram Recap Reel 🎞️

And the momentum doesn’t stop! This week, creatives are taking over NYC for one of the biggest events of the year—CultureCon is back! We’re excited to be an official Community Partner with CultureCon this year and we are giving away a FREE general admission ticket to the conference. Scroll down for the details on how to enter the giveaway. Let’s keep making moves and LEVELUP in NYC—together! 🚀

– Ryan
