From glasses and sneaker collections, to bathrooms and business cards, this month's BIPOC Mentorship Program was all about Personal Branding & Thought Leadership.

A huge thank you to our facilitator, Kevin Nguyen of REGULAR Architecture, for teaching us how showing up matters and that expressing our individual personalities leads to greater happiness and success.

Big appreciation for the investment of our mentee cohort:
☀️ Ruben Rosas Hernandez (Shift Lead, @levensupplyco)
☀️ Seynabou Sohai (Owner, Sohai Family Farm and Kitchen)
☀️ Olivia Servaes (FOH Lead, @makfamdenver)
☀️ Trajan Pei (Owner, @tropitai)
