WXII NEWS 12 INTERVIEW
THE HISTORY OF GIVE IT TO THE PEOPLE®
Give It To The People® originally started as a livestream podcast in 2020. The concept transitioned to hosting Micro Gatherings and focusing on mental health to allow entrepreneurs space to connect and grow their businesses in a communal format.
We have hosted events since 2008 and decided during Covid to create a company that would allow for the demand to be met online and in person. Give it to the People® was formed into a full fledge business after our successful Give it to the People® Picnic in August of 2021.
Since its inception, we have secured our trademark, hosted our signature event, the BLK BIZ SUMMIT, and now we have opened the Give it to the People® Curated Content Studio. We found that space nestled in Downtown Greensboro and have begun to make ourselves at home by brining our brand of Confidence, Color, and Quality to the area.

PRESS & MEDIA
New Business Aims To Help Other Businesses Succeed
We decided to do some events that were micro-gatherings and make them where they were small events that were 30 or less people with the idea of keeping it COVID safe, but also the intimacy of just having a small group of people led to better connections, led to people doing business with each other, and also led to a better sense of community with the people that were involved with the events that we did. So, my husband and I decided to turn it into an actual business last year.
With things returning back to pre-pandemic form, the Browns also chose to open up a studio. The difference with this studio is that they wanted to focus on curated conferences.
