Networking Event Recap 🎥 :
Last Friday we had a chance to check out this great networking event in Manhattan at at the Samsung 837 event space called Off the Cuff, founded by Cristian Palma. This event featured some powerful panelists including Everette Taylor, CEO of Kickstarter, Charles Kuykendoll, General Manager of Community at Blavity and actress/model/multi-hyphenate Nazanin Mandi.
The panelists dropped all kinds of gems 💎 about practicing self care, how to level up in your career, and how to leverage your network to achieve your dreams. To top it off, they had free drinks sponsored by Topo Chico and great food along with a networking reception afterwards. Subscribe to our blog and follow us on IG to stay in the loop about great events like this!
