The LEVELUP in NYC Newsletter
Hello LEVELUP in NYC Community,
Happy Belated MLK Day! We honor the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. who helped this nation and world level up in so many important ways. Yesterday, the LEVELUP in NYC Team spent MLK Day at the NY Knicks game as they faced off against the Orlando Magic and we have some networking stories to share!
🎥 Networking Highlight: MLK Day at the Knicks Game + Meeting J. Ivy 🏀!
Thanks to William Ketchum, III, a well-connected member of LEVELUP in NYC, we attended the Knicks MLK Day game at Madison Square Garden. The tickets were a generous gift from Will Ketchum and our new friend Eugene Bush, CEO of E-Tre Productions and Founder of the Content Creators App.
Eugene, in town for filming with Grammy Winning Poet J. Ivy treated us to a postgame meeting with J. Ivy, who performed at halftime. We also connected with his collaborator and highly acclaimed Singer/songwriter Tarrey Torrae. Big thanks to Will Ketchum and Eugene Bush for expanding our network! 📸
