A month ago, we traveled to Austin, Texas as attendees of AfroTech, an annual conference hosted by Blavity, Inc attracting 25,000 black tech professionals who share insight on how they’re growing their business and leveraging innovation to make an impact in education, consulting, finance, and other industries. During our visit, we were notified via email that we were not selected as the winner of The Great Unshackling Video Contest, an online competition hosted by Unshackled Wines who was sponsoring an individual or business with $75,000 to pursue their passion and break free from the day-to-day grind. After being selected as a top 5 finalist, we were beyond excited. And even though it didn’t turn out how we hoped, we’re so grateful for the experience. In light of this news, we have some updates to share with you, including that we’re no longer living in the same city under the same roof in Dallas, Texas.
