CBC LEADERS OF THE SOUTH: The Black & Brown Affair

Where Southern Leaders Connect During Congressional Black Caucus Week

Them2Us invites you to Washington, DC for The Black & Brown Affair, an elevated evening created for Black and Brown professionals, entrepreneurs, executives, creatives, elected leaders, and community influencers gathering in the city during Congressional Black Caucus Week.

This is more than a night out. It is an opportunity to reconnect with familiar faces, expand your network, meet people from across the country, and build relationships that continue long after the evening ends.

Following the energy of our previous sold-out event that welcomed more than 1,000 guests, we are returning with an elevated experience featuring a strong professional crowd, great music, intentional networking, style, and authentic connections.

This year, we are opening the doors earlier to give guests more time to meet, connect, and enjoy the full experience.
