“Partnering with Cat during her time as Head of Multicultural Marketing at New Belgium Brewing was nothing short of extraordinary. At 8it, our mission has always been to celebrate the diverse culinary voices that make NYC such a vibrant food scene, and Cat shared that vision wholeheartedly.

Through her leadership and support, we were able to collaborate on unforgettable events that spotlighted incredible pop-up chefs and brought diverse communities together.

What truly set Cat apart was her unwavering dedication to supporting small businesses, uplifting diverse communities, and fostering meaningful connections. She understood the importance of creating real value and building deep relationships, rather than simply putting a logo on an event. Her thoughtful approach and genuine passion made every collaboration impactful, and working with her was both inspiring and rewarding.”

“Working with Cathy for Voodoo Ranger opened me up to new experiences as a black female creator I would never have thought to try on my own. Whether it be golf lessons or my first time camping, Cathy’s emphasis on minority creators in the outside space has opened me and my audience to a new world of wanderlust and adventure.”
