TYP Connects are our monthly socials designed to gather, explore, connect, and enjoy our TYP community.
Our February TYP Connects also serves as the Friday Night Community Mixer and official kickoff to ignite520. Start the weekend with an evening focused on connection and creativity, hosted in partnership with Blk House Market, and sponsored by Community Investment Corporation.
As we kick off a weekend centered on leadership and resilience, this partnership reflects ignite520’s commitment to elevating diverse voices and community-driven creativity. Taking place during Black History Month, the collaboration with Blk House Mrkt aligns with a shared focus on building connection, commerce, and community — intentionally centering Black creatives and entrepreneurs who contribute to Tucson’s cultural and economic resilience.
Enjoy a pop-up market featuring local Black creatives, live music, and live art by local artist Tae, all within a curated space to connect with fellow ignite520 attendees and TYP members ahead of Saturday’s full leadership experience. The evening will also include a raffle benefiting Ubuntu Academies, blending creativity, connection, and community impact to spark relationships and inspiration before a full day of learning and growth.
