Charlotte is waiting. Tapping its foot.
It’s 6:00am. It’s the weekend. There is coffee. Life is good.
Hi friends,
What an awesome week! I was finally able to relaunch weloveclt.com. I think it’s looking sharp and better explains how I hope everyone can get involved with #weloveclt. There’s the speaker series, have you met, Insta takeovers and more.
I’m excited to announce we’re collaborating with the Creative League of Interventionists on something for the next speaker series event. I can’t say much more than it’ll be awesome.
That’s the big news. We have other awesome stuff in the pipeline. Stay tuned. Now let’s get to it.

Have you met?
The “Have You Met?” for the week are Katie Toussaint of Charlotte Five intro’d by myself and Justin Cross intro’d by Ally Frazier. The “Have you supported?” for the week is actually a re-intro. Wendy of ArtPop because she’s taking the full-time leap into ArtPop and showcasing local art. Give her some congrats! These three Charlotteans are awesome.
Do you know someone awesome and want to introduce them to all of We Love Charlotte? Let’s make it happen. I’ve laid out the instructions and guidelines here for you to make your own intro.
