CBC Week… meet TechWalk. 👟💻🌿

For the FIRST TIME, we’re bringing @techwalk.co to CBC Week in Washington, D.C.!

And as the DC Chapter Director, I’m excited about this one. 🥹

CBC Week brings thousands of Black leaders, professionals, founders and changemakers into our city—and in between the panels, receptions, meetings and parties, we’re creating some space to MOVE + CONNECT.

No ballroom. No conference table. Just good people, fresh air and real conversation.

And I won’t be walking alone. 👀

I’m bringing some amazing DMV energy with our co-hosts:

✨ Nina Archie — innovation advisor, startup ecosystem connector + Founder of Innovator Connector
 🎥 Folasade’ Ogunmokun — Founder of UnskryptedTV + creative storyteller and community builder
 🤝 Joe Randolph — Microsoft Director by day, leadership coach + entrepreneur, and podcast host, by night. Where tech, business, politics & culture collide. Joe is all about bringing conversations around tech, business, politics and culture together while empowering others to reach their full potential.
 ☁️ Anthony Carter — AWS tech professional bringing the cloud crew energy to the pavement

…and me 🙋🏾‍♀️ Ayanna, your TechWalk DC Chapter Director + Founder of Tech Wellness Society.

CBC Week is already about ideas, relationships, leadership and community.
We’re just adding a few steps to it. 😉🚶🏾‍♀️

📅 Friday, September 18 📍 Washington, D.C.
Meet us outside. 🌿

Writers and poets go head to head against AI, responding live to the same prompts. It’s blind. A local poet will perform the work, can you hear a person behind the words? Can AI do it?

Who will be the people’s champion? Who will get the judges vote?

Hosted by:

Hope is a writer, poet and educator based in the Bronx. If you see her tell her to finish the fucking book.

Sol Emilio is the founder of @plumbumapp, writer, educator, CTO. If you see them, you’re in the right place.

Part 1. Let’s recap the last 90 days or so 🤭 Chronicles of a stories only poster. 🤗

So much wellness, community, movement, purpose, meaningful conversations, and little moments that reminded me how much joy exists when you make room for it.

One thing I’ve been especially intentional about is my environment; mentally, physically, and spiritually.
Environment is a huge holistic pillar for me! The people, spaces, and communities around you really do matter. I’m grateful to keep finding rooms that inspire me, challenge me, and remind me to keep showing up as myself.

Take time to look back at how far you’ve come. Celebrate the small wins. Celebrate your people. Celebrate yourself.

Move toward what lights you up, inspires you, and keeps you walking in your purpose. ✨

Rain or shine ☁️🚶🏾‍♀️

TechWalk DC yesterday was such a good time. Rain, chilly weather, muddy trails and all… people still showed up with amazing energy and openness to connect.

So grateful to help build this community because it reflects so much of what we want to put more of into the world. Movement, meaningful connection, wellness, and spaces where people in tech can just be human for a moment.

Thanks @ms_sadel & @thewininsteminc for Co-hosting our walk! Thank you to everyone who came out and walked with us 🌿✨

Follow @techwalk.co and check out a walk in your city! 👟

If you’ve been to a Fuckup Nights Chicago event, you know our core reason for being is getting people to connect in a way that’s a little more vulnerable and raw than we’re typically used to.

When we heard about TechWalk, we immediately felt the kinship. They’re doing the same thing we are, just on foot. Both of us are in the business of building real community and real connection, so a collaboration felt like a no-brainer.

We wanted to bring some Fuckup Nights energy to the walk, so we asked participants to kick things off by answering one of these three prompts:

1. What’s a failure you’re still secretly proud of?
2. Tell me about a project or idea that died - and what you’d do differently if you resurrected it tomorrow.
3. What’s something you believed about your career or business a year ago that you no longer believe?

This TechWalk was a great reminder of why we do this work and the conversations that came out of it did not disappoint.

If you’re feeling brave, drop an answer to one of the prompts in the comments below. 👇

We are STOKED to share that Fuckup Nights Chicago is collaborating with TechWalk for their next event on May 17. 👟🔥

This one will be a “Walk of Shame and Fame.”

We’ll be bringing a little more depth, vulnerability, and real talk to this walk with conversation prompts designed to challenge the way we think about failure, ambition, reinvention, and growth.

Because sometimes the stories we’re most hesitant to share are the ones that connect us the fastest.

Expect good people, meaningful conversations, and a reminder that failure and success are often a lot closer than we think.

Come walk with us. Registration on Luma!
