~ On Saturday June 30, 2018 Gloria Carter teamed up with business partners Kenya Grayson, and Kevin Reid to put on a Summer Love music showcase to introduce her upcoming t-shirt line. ATV was invited to attend 71 Clay Street in Newark NJ where the event was held. The event and t-shirts was inspired by the by the collaboration between Gloria and her son (Jay Z) where Ms. Carter spoke her truth in a poem at the end of the song “Smile”. The catchy phrase “Love who You Love” generated an amazing t-shirt line, which was represented by the crowd’s apparel that evening. The partners put on an astonishing event Saturday evening by showcasing three upcoming artists (Sunny Surff, Tavares TV and EMCScotty), networking with other entrepreneurs and celebrating the Love Who You Love movement.
