Today we’d like to introduce you to Björn VW.
Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?
I relocated to the United States in 2005 and began my journey working as a server at a prestigious country club in the heart of Florida. Juggling responsibilities in both New York and Florida, I found my way to California before realizing that it was New York City that truly captured my heart. It was in this vibrant and dynamic city that I decided to plant my roots, establishing a flourishing career as an Event Planner.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
Although the journey has been far from easy. In a bustling city like New York, challenges lurk at every turn. One of the significant hurdles I encountered was discovering my true identity. Arriving in this New York city in my twenties with no acquaintances, forging genuine friendships that now feel like family was a daunting task. Breaking into a competitive industry as an immigrant and a person of color presented its own set of obstacles professionally. Nevertheless, I persevered with unwavering determination through every hardship I encountered.
Great, so let’s talk business. Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
