POV: Being an influencer is more than just posting online 💚🖤❤️
Tonight was about community, leadership, storytelling, and celebration.
As Juneteenth NYC Influencer Lead, I had the opportunity to support the Women’s Leadership Gala, connect with amazing people, hear powerful stories from honorees, and continue building energy leading into the 17th Annual Juneteenth NYC Celebration.
From getting ready for the red carpet to highlighting Team Celebration and ending the night dancing with the community — this is what “Rooted in Strength” looks like in real life.
This year, our influencers aren’t just creating content… we’re helping tell the story of the culture, businesses, leaders, and communities that make Juneteenth NYC special.
Proud to help build this campaign through community storytelling, influencer engagement, and cultural connection alongside .ny
