We recently connected with Rashad Charles and have shared our conversation below.

Rashad, thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. Can you talk to us about a project that’s meant a lot to you?

W@, pronounced “Where At”, is a revolutionary social events platform that seeks to redefine the way we discover, host, and experience events. We’ve created a dynamic, user-friendly platform that caters to everything event-related, from small casual meetups to major concerts and festivals.

Our mission is to democratize the event experience, breaking down barriers between event organizers and attendees. We aim to give everyone the opportunity to not only attend events but also to create and host their own. From a friendly 3-on-3 basketball game to large-scale music festivals like Coachella or Rolling Loud, W@ is a one-stop-shop for all things events.

Additionally, W@ introduces Crowd Coin, our unique currency system. Users earn Crowd Coins by being active on the platform, providing an extra incentive to host, share, and attend events.

We believe that discovering and hosting events should be as easy and as fun as the events themselves. Our vision is to be a community-driven platform, where the value is built by the users themselves. We reached out to (@chulita_0420) for the art and to help with bringing the logo to life. We are excited to offer an alternative to platforms like Ticketmaster or Eventbrite, creating a more inclusive, engaging, and rewarding event experience.

In a nutshell, W@ is more than an event-hosting platform. It is a community for event enthusiasts, a tool for hosts, a group finder for attendees, and a game-changer for the event industry

Rashad, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?

Before I started in politics after undergrad I worked a bit in journalism. After graduation I started working as a presidential campaign consultant during the 2019 term. After that I worked in city government, then transitioned back into law and used my free time to explore passions.

I offer consulting to clients in the form of pre litigation consulting, contract breakdown, some mediation. Stuff like that. The problems I solve range from helping clients find a way to afford one more week of rent while their case is being negotiated to reading pages of a label agreement from one of the top 3 labels being offered to some tiktoker who just went viral.

On my day to day I spend my 9-5 solving other peoples problems.

My ability to be multifaceted and offer expertise in a wide variety of subjects lends to my usefulness.

W@ will be a platform that allows for the average person to become more than themselves. They can become a staple in their own community or even a community hundreds of miles away.. With W@ anything is possible and that is what I am most proud of.

How did you build your audience on social media?

It’s all about interaction and legitimacy. If you are a page providing a service, product, publications, news, whatever it is… you have to look professional. All your page highlights on Instagram have got to have a consistent theme, your twitter has to match your IG to a degree, your tiktok has to have reels that your IG doesn’t have and vise versa. The more you intertwine your brand notoriety the more people will engage with it.

The more professional you come off, whether its the quality of what you put out, how you put it out, the amount you put out, whatever you choose … it’s got to look genuine but be purposeful and meticulously planned.

Is there a particular goal or mission driving your creative journey?

Connecting people to the best things out there for them… I believe that all hatred or fear stems from the inexperience of the circumstances. We need to all get more familiar with one another and I believe our W@ platform will bring people together like we’ve never seen before.
