The Unbuttoned Series: Presented by The Black Establishment & Hippin Hops

Unbuttoned is a monthly pop-up series hosted by The Black Establishment in partnership with Hippin’ Hops Brewery, created for Black entrepreneurs and professionals who want real connection without the performance.

This is not a traditional networking event. There are no name tags, no pitches, no pressure to “sell yourself.” Unbuttoned is a space to exhale, show up as yourself, and connect in ways that feel natural.

Each gathering is intentionally curated to feel more like a social hangout than a professional mixer. Expect good music, drinks available for purchase, thoughtful conversation, and a room full of people who understand the balance of ambition and rest. Some nights may include light structure or prompts to spark connection, but the focus is always on ease, presence, and community.

When you attend Unbuttoned, you can expect:
- A welcoming, culturally affirming space centered on Black joy and authenticity.
- Opportunities to connect organically with other entrepreneurs and professionals across industries.
- A relaxed environment where conversations can flow without expectations.
- An atmosphere that encourages being social, being curious, and being fully yourself.

Whether you’re building something, pivoting, resting, or simply craving community, Unbuttoned is a place to belong. Come as you are. Leave a little lighter.
