AssataSays Private Networking Event

This Saturday Assata from AssataSays.com put on a great networking event. The purpose and mission of the event as Assata would put it was to bring "Some of the brightest and talented women together to help and celebrate one another."

Being a friend of Assata's I knew the hard-work she had put towards this event, as well as how nervous she was about launching this event. As I told Assata during the preparation of this event, along with what I told her after the event was simply these words: "Don't worry....It will be fine!" When in reality it was more than fine because the event was a success!
The event was held at Polish Bar at the Brooklyn’s Prospect Heights location. It was a room full of a few industry career women mingling and networking with young Ambitious Ones over manicures & pedicures. There was also some great wine and finger food offered to the guest. Let me not forget, there was also great goodie bags at the end like every successful event should have!
The best advice I think I took from this event was from a future Planner with Macy's and part of her advice was: "Speak good things into your life and continue to keep your faith in God with your dreams." I come to realize when you really have a deep conversation with someone and how they got somewhere in life dealing with their success it will usually come down to one thing....their faith in God.

Great work Assata looking forward to Part 2!
