Woodbury, NJ—On December 15, LAEDA presented at The Cultural Collective Cafe’s Business for Breakfast event. The event, hosted by Sadiyyah Maamoon and April Samuels, connected entrepreneurs and provided a space for conversation about leveraging your current audience, attracting ideal clients and 2023 business planning and much more.
