Digital Pay Gap: Juneteenth Edition

Cocktails & Intimate Conversation on Conscious Spending & Digital Equity

A Live Stream Event

June 18, 2025 | 4:00-7:00 PM | Atlanta, GA

Presented by Ardenia & Co. LLC

Liberation looks like this.

Black and Brown creators lead culture—but remain paid last and least. This Juneteenth, we’re creating space to name that truth, shift the narrative, and spotlight the brands investing in real change.

Join us for a powerful afternoon designed to bridge the digital pay gap and spark action where it matters most: in how we spend, support, and show up.

We’re gathering in Atlanta, GA for an exclusive conversation hour with cocktails and light bites, hosted at The Plug ATL—one of the leading Black-owned production studios in the country.

As a cultural capital and creative epicenter, Atlanta sets the perfect stage for an evening rooted in innovation, equity, and economic power.

This is your opportunity to show up, speak out, and lead the charge in digital equity—alongside the creators, executives, and changemakers shaping what comes next.

Why Juneteenth? Why Now?

DEI isn’t about optics—it’s about outcomes.
This isn’t another “inclusion” panel. It’s a room full of decision-makers ready to change the system from the inside out.

On a day that honors freedom, we’re expanding the definition of what that looks like in the digital economy.

Why It Matters

Meet the Team

Maybe you’re tired of watching talented creators get overlooked.
Maybe you believe that equity isn’t optional—it’s essential.
Or maybe, like us, you just know it’s time to do things differently.

Behind this movement are two women who’ve turned bold ideas into action—
building bridges, closing gaps, and championing representation at every level.
