During the height of the pandemic, Derrick “D-Nice” Jones launched his virtual DJ set— ‘Club Quarantine,’ on Instagram Live, to help lift everybody’s spirits during one of the most periods in recent years.
To commemorate two years since the launch of the global phenom, D-Nice has partnered with LVMH (Louis Vuitton Moët Hennessy) is excited to team up with D-Nice for a final three-night Club Quarantine celebration on Instagram Live.
The legendary DJ will also pay tribute to Women’s History Month by making a donation to the non-profit, Black Girl Ventures (BGV). LVMH will match the DJ’s donation.
BGV’s mission is to provide Black/Brown woman-identifying founders with access to community, capital and capacity building in order to meet business milestones that lead to economic advancement through entrepreneurship.
Speaking to ShineMyCrown.com, Shelly Omilâdé Bell, founder of Black Girl Ventures, shared why this donation means so much to so many people.
“During quarantine, Black and Brown women founders were looking for community. We launched a coworking space where women can get together every Wednesday and peer mentor each other. Share life experiences and we’ve been running that ever since. The two-year anniversary of “Club Quarantine” is also aligned with the second anniversary of the BGV Virtual Coworking Space, where lives have been changed, advanced and businesses have grown, just by bringing people together,” Bell explains.
“We’re so excited to have Louis Vuitton Moët Hennessy donate $25,000 and to have DJ D-Nice match that with another $25,000 with the celebration of what it meant to create community during such a time—when people needed one another while they were each having their own individula quarantine experience. We were able to come together on the music. Come together to talk about business,” she said, adding, “We’re very excited.”
You can tune into the livestream on Friday, March 18 and Saturday, March 19, 12 pm to 2 pm PST (3-5 pm EST) to see D-Nice on the 1’s and 2’s.
