Chapter moments

Recent NYC materials highlight honorees, Harlem gatherings, and Black economic growth.

A polished room. A local network. A chapter built to keep Black talent and Black dollars in the same conversation.

BICA began with a simple purpose: close the distance between the beauty industry and the community. In New York, that takes shape through brunches, honoree spotlights, vendor visibility, networking, and social programming that feels elevated without losing its grassroots energy.

01

Awards brunches

Recognition-driven gatherings that spotlight Black achievers, businesses, and community care.

02

Social connection

Networking rooms designed for artists, educators, founders, stylists, and supporters to mix.

03

Economic focus

Programming shaped by Black business support, intentional spending, and shared visibility.

Harlem addresses, dressed-up brunches, and a room that knows celebration can also be strategy.

Recent public NYC event listings place BICA gatherings at 440 Convent Avenue in Hamilton Heights, reflecting a chapter rhythm centered on awards brunches, networking, and community economics.
