Hey LEVELUP in NYC Family,

We’re partnering with two amazing events this week — Black Visionaries Founder’s Day 2025 in Manhattan on Thursday and the &Friends Homecoming Day Party in Brooklyn on Saturday. Join us at both of these dope events! We’re also still riding the high from our first-ever LEVELUP in NYC Mixer back on Sept. 23rd, where 400+ ambitious professionals packed The Delancey for an unforgettable night of networking and good vibes. We’ve been busy covering events like CultureCon, the Creole Food Festival, and the BlackWeek Conference, but we’re back with another newsletter edition to help you plan your month and prep for our next quarterly mixer! 📸 Check out the photo gallery from our Mixer here, tag @levelupinnyc when you post your pics, and remember — Paid Members get free access to our quarterly mixers + other exclusive membership perks.

Let’s LEVELUP Together,
-Ryan, Editor
