Welcome + Recap of The Layout

Hello LEVELUP in NYC Family,

This week is stacked! We've got Labor Day weekend, the kick-off of New York Fashion Week, and a fresh new month ahead. Check out all the cool events we've lined up below.

ICYMI, we hit up The Layout at Fort Greene Park this past Sunday—an NYC summer classic. The vibes were unreal, and even Issa Rae, Robert Glasper, and Andre Holland were there 🤯! Relive the magic with our 🎞️ Instagram Recap Reel 🎞️.

Also, mark your calendars for September 12th! We're teaming up with Black Visionaries for their Founder’s Day Event—a fundraising mixer celebrating Black entrepreneurs and change-makers. Don't miss it!

Let’s LEVELUP in NYC Together,

-Ryan
