Mix & Mingle Event at Aloft Hotel (Syracuse Inner Harbor)

Building Culture by the Water (Syracuse Inner Harbor):  Attorney Lanessa Owens (left) and Publisher Victoria Coit were among the organizers for the Minority Professionals Networking event at the Aloft Hotel.

Shout out to the organizers of last night’s Mix & Mingle event at the new Aloft Hotel at the Inner Harbor. We saw some familiar faces among the fashionable crowd. The after-work event was coordinated by Cuse Culture Magazine, UMEA and the William H. Johnson Bar Association of CNY. Hopefully in the future they can also charter a boat for a harbor/lake cruise.

We read a post by CEO Gwen Webber McCleod recently that said African American women are starting businesses at a rate six times the national average, and employing almost 1.4 million people.  Last week, WAER’s Mark Bialczak profiled journalists Victoria Coit and Vanessa Campbell and their efforts to launch a magazine here in Syracuse called CuseCulture.

They are planning a kick-off event June 25.
