The activation featured a “Wings Of Their Own” mural, created by local Seattle artist Angelina Villalobos, which invited guests to pose in front of wings painted in the Seahawks colors. The wings featured “feathers” signed by former Seahawks players.
Essence held an end-of-summer consumer event celebrating fashion, culture, and community on September 9 at Duggal Greenhouse in Brooklyn. The event featured 90 local vendors and nine local food trucks, along with talent including Amanda Seales, Yemi Alade, Teyana Taylor, and segments from Macy’s and Nike. An eye-catching photo op in the venue spelled out the name of the magazine in colorful block letters and included a life-size blue and purple compact mirror. Event production and design elements were helmed by April Luca of Gold Sky Productions and Jovanca Maitland, director of live events and experiential at Essence.
