ESSENCE + New Voices Entrepreneur Summit and Target Holiday Market | Day 2
Essence + New Voices Entrepreneur Summit and Target Holiday Market day 2 was amazing. It was another panel fulled day. A day spent listening and learning from entrepreneurs at many different stages. All speaking it seemed with one voice. Be passionate, be consistent and know when to ask for help.
Even though the summit was geared toward women of color it was a family event. It was good to see men with their wives and women with their children. The Essence + New Voices Entrepreneur Summit and Target Holiday Market was focused heavily on generational wealth and having whole families in attendance was a wonderful sight.
Toya Wright spoke on supporting black women ran businesses.

5 Interactive Shopping Villages
For day 2 I spent more time within the different villages. It was great seeing brands I know and love that Mess In A Bottle. As well as being introduced to brands I didn’t know like Fruition Hat Company. It was amazing to witness black people filling each village spending their black dollars within the black community with black business owners.

 Target Beauty Lounge
The 3-day ESSENCE + New Voices Entrepreneur Summit and Target Holiday Market event has had a lot of fabulous things to see and do. Shameless for me my favorite was the target beauty lounge. Filled with black-owned products sold at Target. The Glamrory was everything I needed to get Instagram ready!

$100,000 Pitch Competition
The $100,000 Pitch Competition was truly the high of day two of the Essence + New Voices Entrepreneur Summit and Target Holiday Market. There were 10 finalists who pitched on a range of goods and services their businesses offered. I heard about everything from comic books and pillow infused fitted sheets.
