Key Topics

  • Event Planning & Coordination: We explored the full spectrum of planning—from Vanessa’s first events to the logistical challenges of day-of coordination, comparing experiences in the U.S. and abroad.
  • Race, Identity, & Experience: We discussed how Vanessa navigates conversations about race in an industry that’s often whitewashed, and how she ensures her personality and professionalism take center stage.
