The BOSS Network's Influencers Event in Washington, DC!

By
After months of planning and tweets about our Inspired by Influencers tour, we finally hit the road for our first event in Washington, DC this week. Held at the ultra fabulous L2 Lounge in the Cady's Alley area of Georgetown, we highlighted 10 "Influencers" from the DC Area who truly embodied a BOSS. Michelle Hargrove, founder of Restoration Wknd, played hostess for our Q&A sessions with our "Influencers" and keynote speaker, Valeisha Butterfield. Guests were able support their favorite honoree, network, receive free makeovers, and sip on our special "BOSStini." Everyone came looking their best! There was so much positivity and encouragement in the room and we just want to thank everyone for their attendance!

We have to thank our awesome event planners, Jamilah and Lindsey of The Jalin Group, for all their hard work, the L2 Lounge for providing such a great location, DivasMPH for reminding us all to do our part in the fight against HIV/AIDS, MadlyLiving for their wonderful Bed and Breakfast, and, finally, our DC BOSSes for supporting The BOSS Network enough for us to launch our tour in that great city.
