Nana Agyemang and Moe Diggs.

In 2016, she started to build an Instagram presence to try and create a millennialEssencemagazine.

So maybe theyre doctors or engineers, but they have a clothing brand or a skin-care company.

Theyre tapping into these nontraditional roles.

Last weekend, during their biggest summit yet, the event took place at Industry City in Brooklyn.

So when I got that job, it was surreal because that was such a vision-board company for me.

They were transitioning from print to pushing their Style section online.

So they had me redirecting and rebranding their digital voice on Twitter and a little bit on Instagram Stories.

Was there a moment when you realized, Okay, I just might be good at what I do?

Or do you even feel youve reached that moment?

But no, I grab that phone with a quickness because my job is my phone.

I am also a content creator, and a CEO and founder.

So I am responding to my team right away in the morning.

I do that for about 30 minutes, and then I readThe New York Times.

I read the DealBook, which is amazing and gets me up to date on the world of business.

My biggest work essential is my journal.

I cant function without it.

Every morning, I make a to-do list.

I cross it out.

I refer to it.

I feel so naked without my journal, without my to-do list.

Another thing would be my phone wipe.

I always wipe the back of my phone.

I dont go anywhere without it because I never know when I have to shoot a moment.

Thats me thinking, marketing, thinking content.

Then,a water bottlebecause if Im not hydrated, I cant be productive.

I never used to be the girl to always bring her water bottle everywhere, but now I do.

And then, I never leave the house unless Im comfortable, so Im always in athleisure.

Thats kind of my thing.

I need to be ready to move.

My goal in life is for every Black and Brown woman to have heard of Sip N Slay.

The feeling it gives you when you leave [the event] is incomparable.

Its something youve never had before.
