Reach out to Ana if you have questions about going to the 🌇downtown meet up 🏙️ Reach out to Omar if you have questions about going to the 🏭SE meet up🏘️ Last year was our pilot year and downtown meet ups had a lot of success so we’re excited to get the folks at eastside firms an option to meet up as well. Come late / leave early whatever works with your busy schedule to meet a range of other local minorities in the industry near you!
