Went to the Gusto Impact Awards at The Mint Museum yesterday, and it was truly inspiring. ✨ I found out about this event at the last minute, and I’m so glad I did. It was a great opportunity to connect with small business owners in Charlotte, hear their stories, and celebrate the unveiling of a beautiful billboard 🏙️ for grant winner LaToya Faustin from She Built This City. 💪🏾 Being in a room full of people who are passionately building something of their own was so energizing. I’m grateful to everyone who shared their insights and ideas at this event. Below, I’m tagging some of the incredible businesses and founders I connected with—be sure to check them out! If you were there and we didn’t get a chance to connect, drop a comment 💬 or send a request. Let’s keep the conversation going! 🚀 LaToya Faustin | She Built This City Melissa Carnegie Andrew Bosserman Harvesting Humanity LLC.
