We Back and Better Than Ever
It's been nearly 2 years but I am finally back in Nashville and excited to get back into the grove of city.
It is official, The Move is back from our hiatus. And I am ecstatic to see the diversity of events has grown and the people that host them are delivering even better experiences. Gone are the days when every event was a twerk party unless you roll with State Senator Tiara Mack of Rhode Island.
