FEATURE EVENT

A Rose For Mę Cultural Event

A year ago today, my life changed. My mother passed away.

It set into motion, how I viewed life, my goals, appreciating culture like my mom would have wanted and how I want to leverage this platform.

So I want to honor her, the mothers out there, and all cultures.

I invite you all to A Rose For Mę: Cultural Event on Sunday, Nov. 15 at Brick & Mortar.

An event I’m putting on with Buckets Cà Phê and some great partners like Xclusive Events, Wichita Life, Buckets Clothing, YR Dentistry, and many more.

It’s a free event starting at 4pm featuring 30 vendors and maybe more giveaways than you’ll probably see at every event. Free food, giveaways every hour, a scholarship awarded out to a WSU student, cigars, lucky money handed out to the children, free white roses handed out to those who have lost a mother.

It’s a late afternoon and evening event that’s familyfriendly that caps off with a special set put on by Khanh The DJ, DJ Tommy Billions and other surprises who will be there all day.

Early bird tickets for $12 will be available that get you in at 3pm or you can register for a free general admission ticket that gets you in at 4pm or just show up.

Those who register in advance will be entered to win a $100 Coffee Daze gift card from yours truly.

Mahjong
