SUMMARY:Level Up: Changing the Narrative through Social Media with Marz Lovejoy
DESCRIPTION:About Workshop Presenter\nMarz Lovejoy was born in Minneapolis\, Minnesota\, raised in San Diego and Santa Monica\, California\, and became the woman she is now after many years of grinding in New York. She now lives between The US and Europe with her three children. Marz helped shaped Office Magazine\, is founder and Editor in Chief of The Black Utopia\, and has recently signed on to be Curator-at-Large for Alvaro Barrington’s new art studio in London. However\, various forms of art and entertainment have been Marz’s primary inspiration as well as the backdrop of her career. From professional modeling and acting\, writing and producing music\, and creating published works in the literary field\, Marz continues to evolve in creativity while centering on community and social responsibility. \nHer latest projects include Her annual “…And Still We Ride…” bike ride out\, celebrating Black women. The live streaming of her son’s birth raised awareness and funds for Black Maternal Health organizations. She has contracted with major brands to be featured in advertising campaigns\, where a portion of the profits was donated to nonprofits of Marz’s choice. \nWith a far-reaching audience and a lens for equity\, justice\, and focus on the Black plight\, Marz’s message that “Small Acts Matter” packs a profound ripple effect that can be measured by the success of her campaigns.

SUMMARY:Sunday Dinner
DESCRIPTION:Sunday Dinner is a quarterly cultural gathering space for Black Minnesotans to convene\, break bread\, dialogue and build collective power through the ritual of Sunday Dinners. This joy centered and multifaceted event will offers meal subsidy and delivery (while supplies last)\, music\, breakout rooms for small group conversations\, performances and more. \nThe start of this decade has rendered us somehwat unable to connect with our broader community- Sunday Dinner is designed to bridge that gap and make space for continued connection with our loved ones. Be prepared to show your face\, prepare and show your meal (unless opting for food delivery\, in that event you would just showcase your meal) and to listen\, laugh\, learn and lend ideas alongside other members of the Black community in Minnesota. \nThis iteration of Sunday Dinner is powered by TruArtSpeaks in partnership with the Healing Justice Foundation and Time of Reckoning and presents a unique opportunity for us to take some of our kitchen table talk back to elected officials and policy makers so that they can make change on behalf of our community and what we desire. If you would like to lend your voice\, you can opt into a breakout room with the intention of doing so. If not\, you can hang back in the main room for guided community conversation and music and more. \nSounds by DJ Digie
