We’re excited to announce that we’ve been selected as an official AfroTech Event Partner to bring Brain Break, a wellness space focused on enhancing attendee well-being, to Houston on November 4, 2026! This community event will provide an opportunity for guests to pause, reset, and reconnect. As part of our Bay Area event production team, we are currently raising funding to help cover the production costs for this unique experiential marketing initiative.
