Their work connects them to corporations (like Fidelity Investments and Wayfair), community-based programs (at Howard University and Johns Hopkins University), ventured-backed startups (like Tracflo and Birthright AFRICA), art organizations (like Park Avenue Armory and Soka Tribe), institutions (like Georgetown University, Harvard University, MIT, and Hunter College), and an extensive portfolio of courses and workshops they have designed. So, when these two join forces for people-centered networking over their signature drinks and tasty, tapas-style treats, you can always expect great company, extraordinary connections, and an unforgettable time.
