🗓️ Welcome
Welcome + Recap of The Melanin Summit

Hello LEVELUP in NYC Family,

What an incredible Labor Day weekend! We’re feeling exhilarated (and a bit exhausted) after attending so many amazing events. Last week we were at The Melanin Summit, hosted at the Mastercard Tech Hub in partnership with Forbes BLK and the NYC Department of Small Business Services, celebrating #BlackBusinessMonth! Be sure to check out our 🎞️ Instagram Recap 🎞️ to relive the magic.

And don't forget to save the date for September 12th! We’re joining forces with Black Visionaries for their Founder’s Day Event—a fundraising mixer to honor Black entrepreneurs and change-makers. You won’t want to miss it!

Let’s LEVELUP in NYC Together,

-Ryan
