2020 SERIES:
Black Joy x Entrepreneurship Hosted by Gabrielle Pickens
There is an undeniable shift happening in the minds of the masses across the world. The momentum in which the universe has turned on its axis has trickled down into our most public and private spaces. The secret of racism is out and there is a shift in power that has never quite revealed itself in this way on earth---and we are taking full-court advantage of this moment in time in the best way we know how---creatively.
Hustlecraft has partnered with Gabrielle Pickens of Pickens Creative to produce our 2020 series on Black Joy + Entrepreneurship. We will tell the beautiful and jubilant stories of Black women via the lens of entrepreneurship. Our mission is to remind us that we are so much more than the defeats and trauma, and we must continue to relish in joy, victories, and unbelievable success. It is, in fact, an act of radical self-love and protest.

HUSTLECHATS
A huge part of HustleCraft’s programming is its speaker series: HustleChats. Because of current social distancing rules, we will not be hosting our event until things are in the clear, but we will be chatting with local designers, craftspeople, movers, shakers and/or business leaders virtually. With many hustlers in uncharted territory, we are inviting open dialogue about personal experiences in hopes of opening the door to new ideas.
