Thank you to everyone who joined us for Network with Joy with Bose Akadiri.

The session was a great reminder that networking doesn’t have to feel transactional or performative. At its best, it’s about curiosity, generosity, and making genuine connections with the people around us.

We’re grateful to Bose for bringing so much energy and practical insight to the evening — and to our ATDChi community for showing up ready to connect!
