Testimonials from Our Launch Event

“An Afternoon with Panache”

Our launch event on Saturday, September 13, 2025, was a tremendous success.

Guests shared what made them smile or dance in their seat and how they would describe the event in ONE sentence to their best friend. We also wanted to know if they would support future events hosted by The Panache Project, Inc.

The whole vibe of the event was very welcoming. Great event to attend as a local Black business. Yes, love how you welcome other local business to offer their services as a Black community.
