They’re currently curating speakers for The Influence Exchange, an intentional, fireside-style gathering in Brooklyn, NY this spring.

This is a powerful chance to share your lived experience, ideas, and leadership with a room full of founders, executives, civic leaders, and community builders—and to be part of a broader movement bridging policy, capital, and culture.
