Jeanine Hays and Bryan Mason are the founders of AphroChic, one of the nation's most successful Black owned brands. Spanning publications, digital content and transformative design projects they "work to convey an essential narrative of Black history and identity, interrogating the connections between the design of an aesthetic and the design of society at large". Authors of REMIX: Decorating with Culture, Objects and Soul and AphroChic: Celebrating the Legacy of the Black Family Home, as well as their eponymous magazine, they will be joined by local multi-hyphenate Heather Carlucci to discuss the ways writing and publications are natural pathways to building independent businesses and how they are rethinking AphroChic as new upstate residents. Book signing to follow. Presented in association with Radio Catskill.
