FEBRUARY 2023

At the ITK Black Changemakers event attendees came out for a conversation with five talented comedians and basked in Black joy over light bites and an open bar. The night was all about feeling seen and celebrating the diversity within the Black community. Attendees left with gifts from some of our favorite Black-owned brands and were entered to win grand prizes from FORVR Mood, Fear of God Essentials, and more. The event was held at Negril Village, a woman-owned, black-owned venue.
Nicole is a highly-skilled, detail-oriented event planner! I had the pleasure of working directly with her on several events at Yahoo and was continually impressed by her creativity, organization, communication and attention to detail. Nicole flawlessly executed several events for our team, coordinating between multiple teams who were all working remotely. A less-skilled events leader would certainly have dropped the ball or let things slip through the cracks, but not Nicole. She managed to set the bar higher and higher with each event she worked on. Her can-do, positive attitude make working with her an absolute joy and I would welcome the opportunity to work with Nicole again on future events. She's top notch! - Jeanine Edwards - Media Lead, In The Know by Yahoo
