B&H blew me away with their epic 2024 Wrapped Party! With multiple activations that stimulates various senses, I was quite intrigued by the incredible production that Deanna Testa and her team put together for hundreds of creators. I threw on a floral Nicole Miller asymmetrical dress with a floral jacket and a fuchsia sequin beret. It was a very chilly evening, so the line outside the venue on Canal Street surprised me as I wondered how anyone was going to cope with waiting to get checked in as they endured…
Soho International Film Festival Awards Night Gala 2024
Upon entry into Circo for the Soho International Film Festival Awards Night Gala, I went to the VIP section where Ashley-Lauren Elrod was seated watching the stage from afar. The room was filled with high energy and joy as everyone was focused on the stage while actors, producers, directors, and writers were being awarded as they were compared to their peers who took part in the Soho International Film Festival. There are moments that help me learn that I’ve truly grown. After eating, the waiter came to clear the table…
What I Learned From Hosting The Creator Logic NYC Holiday Party 2024
I probably wouldn’t believe you if you told me I’d be co-hosting a holiday event in 2024. I’m so grateful to have been able to organize and produce the Creator Logic NYC Holiday Party! Created by Avi Gandhi, Creator Logic is the premiere resource for those working in influencer marketing as well as influencers/creators. Although I’m not new to events, I spent some time isolated and started getting back to the real me late last year. I’ve been working in marketing for about 7 years and during my pre-marketing days,…
Last Brunch of 2024: The Smith
I’ve wanted to brunch at The Smith for years. The midtown staple’s previous green stripe exterior initially caught my eye 8-10 years ago. I knew I had to check it out at some point, but I kept forgetting. When my best friend, Marllory said she wants to do brunch at midtown, I sent her a list. The Smith was included in the list and my emphasis of my interest in going to The Smith for years led her to believe our choice was a no-brainer. The decade-long interest was the…

Amazon Ads Luncheon at Serra Birreria – Advertising Week
During Advertising Week New York 20, I attended a couple of luncheons at Serra Birreria. The beautiful thing about New York is that you will probably never know all the restaurants and even as a native New Yorker, I’m still getting introduced to new places to wine and dine. During Days 3 and 4 of Advertising Week, I finally got to experience Eataly. Finding Serra was a task on its own but once you learn to maneuver through Eataly, you’ll become accustomed to navigating through the copious merchants that the…

Advertising Week New York 20 Exceeded My Expections
I started off Advertising Week New York 20 eager to gain new insights about the creator economy and actually thought I could attend at least 10 sessions per day but that was not the case. Upon entry, on day 1, I realized AWNY 20 is certainly not like other conferences. From brand activations by TikTok, Netflix, Instacart, Meta, Snapchat, Canva & so many more, along with the thousands of marketers heading to sessions or catching a bite in the Oasis Lounge, I knew this is not the average conference. Stopping…
Brunch at Agenda Astoria For Marllory’s Birthday
I recently celebrated my best friend, Marllory’s birthday with brunch at Agenda in Astoria, New York. While I’m used to raving about my brunch experiences (because brunch is life), I wasn’t completely impressed by this particular experience. Upon entry, I was seated at the table of 20 next to Marllory’s sister, Maoly whom I love so much! Once Marllory arrived, we were able to order drinks. We all indulged in the bottomless brunch menu that included unlimited mimosas with a meal. I ordered my favorite brunch meal – eggs benedict…
