An Unforgettable Evening of Collaboration, Confidence, and Community
Nationwide — Five young and up-and-coming African American entrepreneurs from the Washington, DC area will host a groundbreaking event called the Gen Z Network Mixer on Saturday, June 7th. They are 18-year-old Inia Brown, 19-year-old Heaven Jones, 19-year-old Aniya Belk, 19-year-old Lyric Johnson, and 22-year-old Chase Sellars.

“Our generation doesn’t just dream—we deliver,” says lead organizer India Brown. “This event is proof that Gen Z isn’t the future—we’re the right now. We want to build each other up, network across, and start making money and moves together.”
