June is really heating up and there is so much to celebrate.

Happy Juneteenth! We celebrate and stand with the Black creatives in our community and the ways they use their work to celebrate and uplift Black culture.

Happy Pride Month too! We salute the LGBTQ+ creatives in our community and the ways they use their work to honor and elevate LGBTQ+ voices.

Lastly, we raise our glass to toast the mystery, strength and dignity of womanhood with this month’s theme MATRIARCHY. Social entrepreneur and community organizer, Nikishka Iyengar, will help us explore her work at the intersection of finance, equitable development, racial justice and climate action. She is the founder and CEO of The Guild, a social enterprise focused on building community wealth through equitable real estate, entrepreneurship programs and access to capital for historically marginalized communities. She is also the mother of an active toddler and knows well the delicate balance of motherhood and business. Nikishka’s talk is June 25 at 9 a.m. Register here.

And don’t forget that directly before we hear from Nikishka, we’re now offering a super fun and meaningful way for you to connect with other creatives digitally! Join us on Gatheround at 8:15 a.m. for a 30-minute guided discussion based on June’s theme of MATRIARCHY. Get the details here.
