Welcome + Recap of Curlfest

Hello LEVELUP in NYC Family,

On Saturday we had a chance to attend Curlfest in Brooklyn—the largest natural beauty festival in the country. A time was had! Check out our 🎞️ Instagram Recap Reel 🎞️ to relive the event.

As far as upcoming events, we are officially partnering up with our friends Black Visionaries to promote their Founder’s Day Event on September 12th! Come out for an annual fundraising mixer where we'll celebrate Black entrepreneurs and change makers within our community. Grab a ticket and join us! You don’t want to miss it. Have a great week and let’s LEVELUP in NYC together.

-Ryan
