Gate-Keeping to Game-Changing: We’re Not Competing, We’re Building

Let’s keep it real: the “crabs in a barrel” mentality is tired.

This panel is all about killing that energy, scarcity, ego, and playing small, and replacing it with collaboration, trust, and making power moves together. If you’re tired of gatekeeping and ready to build bigger, this convo is for you. Tap in and learn how working with your peers, not against them, can unlock your next level.

Panelists:

• Caridad de la Luz (Executive Director, Nuyorican Poets Cafe & Emmy-winning Poet)
• Amaurys Grullon (CEO, Bronx Native & Creative Entrepreneur)
• Emelyn Stuart (Entrepreneur, Producer & Community Builder)
• Ramon Veras (Founder, Un Chin Media; Storyteller & Entrepreneur)

Moderator: Adrian Cepeda (Owner, World’s Borough Bookshop)
