FAM AND FRIENDS is a networking dinner meant to celebrate & reconnect our long acquainted network of hustlers, doers & entrepreneurs with one another as a means to foster growth, new opportunities and strengthen our existing support system.
The inception of this idea dates back to 2018 when I had a realization that I couldn’t ignore—there is just way too much much talent, ambition and potential in our circle for us to not connect and build together in meaningful ways.

Fast forward to the end of 2022, and things have finally come into place. That said, let’s take this opportunity to connect and reflect on our past year while strategizing for the new one to come. So whether you’re a tech professional, property owner, graduate student, activist, investor or aspiring entrepreneur, come build with us over dinner, drinks and community.
Nothing quite compliments great company like great food. Enjoy dinner and drinks (open bar) over great conversations, music and good energy.
Whether you grab a seat for the keynote, tap into a workshop, try your luck in the raffle or jump into the photo booth—there will always be something going on to keep you engaged and entertained.
Studies show that 91% of people who set new years resolutions fail to accomplish their goals. Join us in this group workshop dedicated to helping you become part of the 9% that does.
Ila’s introduction to the real estate world began after her family experienced foreclosure, born out of necessity to secure housing and develop career capital that would propel her into the opportunities systematically unavailable to her community. Ila found her passion within the residential industry, and the potential to help others create security through housing and homeownership.
For 2 years, Ila worked closely with homeowners and real estate professionals helping them maximize their investments and avoid the threats of discount buyers and/or foreclosure. In 2021 alone, she led a team to close more than $80m in transaction volume across numerous states, with a laser focus on value-add services for the American homeowner.
