Hello New York Gems,

Thank you so much for attending our event last Thursday. It was a joy getting to speak with you all in-person to hear your individual stories, as well your critiques and ideas for improvement. The energy was palpable. I’m more confident than ever that together, we can change the status quo and help billions of people fight back.

I’ll be posting this message here on our community forum. Shortly we will be updating it with pictures from the event. If you want to stay in the loop and connect with other people you may have met (or not) at the event, please comment on the thread with your name and contact details.

Here are some fun parting points:
