A Labor of Love in the Queen City
The decision to host this impactful event in Charlotte, NC, was deeply personal for Kells. "I chose Charlotte because it is a melting pot for Black entrepreneurs and businesses but doesn't get celebrated enough," Kells explained. "The city is constantly growing and very big for real estate, finance, and beauty right now, with film and entertainment right behind. I always see creatives posting that they want events like these in the community, so I wanted to bring this to them. I'm originally from South Carolina and live in Charlotte, but I haven't hosted an event in the Queen City since the top of the COVID pandemic. So many people thought I was going to host it in Atlanta, but I pretty much surprised everyone!"
