Over two days, attendees dove into a dynamic lineup of workshops, activations, and networking opportunities, including a career fair brimming with potential. With inspiring conversations featuring influential culture-shifters, CultureCon was a one-of-a-kind experience where creativity flourished, and community thrived.

The panel included of SVP of Content Allison McGevna, SVP of Product and Technology, Markus Robinson, VP of Social Media, Victoria Fleary, and Director of Sponsor & Affiliate Content, Cliché W.

Primetime EMMY® Award-nominated actress, writer and producer Natasha Rothwell is in the spotlight on the October cover of HelloBeautiful. Known for her memorable roles on Insecure and The White Lotus, Natasha has stepped into a new era – as the creator and lead in the Hulu How To Die Alone, where she plays a woman who has never experienced love, but a near-death accident inspires her to dream and live life again. The season finale of How To Die Alone marks a transitional time for Natasha, from trying to minimize her presence to embracing her main character energy. In our HelloBeautiful cover story, penned by Allison McGevna, our SVP of Content, the writer, showrunner, and actress revealed that she once struggled with shoulder pain because she would "fold herself" to not "take up space." “There was a time in my life that I had really bad cramping in my [shoulders] because I would fold myself on subway. Because I didn’t want to take up space. I felt like I was an inconvenience. The consequence of not allowing yourself to take up space is physical. It’s actual physical pain.” Click here to read this inspiring and moving interview. https://lnkd.in/dKzeSZzx Credits: VP of Content: Kirsten West Savali Editorial Director: Shamika Sanders Sr. Editor: Marsha Badger Digi Tech: Isan Monfort Lighting Director: Garren Pryce Photo Assistant: Bertram Knight BTS Video: @s.klassevision Tyler Harp Wardrobe Stylist: Jason Rembert Wardrobe Assistant: @ww.ilt @taxkyle @thestylistguy Makeup: Camille Thompson Hair: @itsraela Creative Director: Jordan Benston Production Company: The Oracle Media Production: @mishamulla @forevermylangley Amanda Lynn Baez @nateeeeeee Set Design: @gardenrebound Location: JACK STUDIOS VP of Social: Victoria Fleary Social Media Lead: @charmasona Social Video Producer: Kanayo Umelo
