Happy Monday!

I know…I know it’s been awhile since I’ve shown my face. But J. Leigh Events is still here and we are cranking out some event series and big events for our clients.

Some big news…we added two new team members. And they ROCK! I’ll be introducing you to them this week.

What are we working on? We are finishing up the Thursday night Jazz series at Waverly Charlotte — if you haven’t been you have this week to catch it. We are back to planning some really great holiday events at the shopping centers. And of course…the Bayhaven Black Food & Wine Festival — don’t miss out on this one!

Finally on a personal note I’m still rocking the bright colors and prints while learning to be a business owning mom. For adventures with HRB follow me at on Instagram. Swipe to see the little guy join me on a Zoom call.

I cannot wait to bring this event to life and to Charlotte.
