The Art of Building - A Panel on Cultivating Community

This Juneteenth, we gather in the spirit of the cookout—a space rooted in Black culture where food, music, conversation, and community come together naturally. More than just a celebration, this event creates room for Black leaders, creatives, and tastemakers to share their perspectives, connect across generations, and honor the stories that continue to shape our communities.

Brought to you by Maalik Meets, Burgundy XYZ, and Omni Sound Space, this is a space built for real dialogue and connection.

Panelists: Jeanie, the visionary behind Thank You! Twelve'len, recording artist and mastermind behind Velvet Velour Lauryn Lawrence, Artist & Curator

Moderated by Maalik, Maalik Meets
