Lead with Beauty Luncheon

Join us for a special Lead with Beauty Luncheon. Each January in recognition of National Human Trafficking Awareness Month, V3 turns our attention toward our LAB Initiative and collaboration with Buddy Brew Coffee. Freedom is beautiful and for 6 years, V3 has been bringing what we have to participate in the fight against human trafficking and to care for survivors. This year, we are excited to continue that work, leading with beauty, by collaborating with artists Mauricio Vega and Supervivo (an art collective) to release the first annual Freedom is Beautiful art commission. Join us at the Lead with Beauty luncheon as we unveil the 2026 Freedom is Beautiful print and meet artist Mauricio Vega. We will have 100 limited edition Freedom is Beautiful prints available for sale, and 100% of the proceeds from those sales will support our LAB Initiative. We can’t wait to unveil this piece, recap our 2025 art unveiling, and share some exciting updates as we make the turn into a new year. _____________ MAURICIO VEGA, Born in Habana, Cuba, 1986. graphic designer and art director.
