The second edition of "I am a Professional African” Networking Mixer is here. If you loved the first edition in July, then you already know what to expect, if you missed, it, then here is another opportunity to join African professionals, friends of Africa, and community leaders for a night of socializing, networking, and establishing relationships with other influential Africa lovers in the community, all to the sounds of great tunes.

The “I am a Professional African” Networking mixer was created by Face2face Africa to further enhance its mission of restoring Africa’s image and uniting Africans and friends of Africa in the Diaspora. The mixer is held quarterly (every 3 months) in New York City and will soon spread to other states.

The second edition will take place on October 14th at the exquisite TBD Lounge in the Financial district area of Manhattan at exactly 6pm. Early arrival is strongly suggested.

Companies and organizations may sign up to talk briefly about their businesses and get people involved. Individuals from all professional fields are welcome. Stay tuned for the list of well-accomplished special invited guests who will be sharing their experiences.
