Project snapshot

Lilith NYC is creating a community-driven retail space in Queens to serve as both a storefront and an educational hub for aspiring entrepreneurs. Building on the organic connections formed through one-on-one customer interactions and pop-up presentations, this initiative will provide workshops on entrepreneurship, brand-building, and community organizing. The space will offer a gathering place for individuals to learn firsthand about sourcing, manufacturing, and launching a business from someone within their own community. By fostering real-life connections and knowledge-sharing, Lilith NYC aims to inspire and equip the next generation of brand and business owners while strengthening community ties in East Elmhurst and Jackson Heights.
