Refine City Presents: Planet HER

In celebration of Women’s History Month and year-round women's pride, IB Majekodunmi partnered with Diageo and its brands, Bulleit, DeLeon Tequila, and Ketel One to present Refine City Presents: Planet HER. The event celebrated and supported more than 50 dynamic Chicago-based women tastemakers and diverse creators who continue to shape local culture.

A safe space for women in business to discover, thrive, and scale through connecting, Planet HER is an interactive universe for big energy. Equipped with drinks, food, music, and resource vendors. Planet HER is a woman’s world!

Launched in May 2020, Refine Collective is a community that makes it easy to identify, and support minority and women-owned businesses with a mission to funnel purchasing power into the hands of the underrepresented.

What started as a passion project to create an online directory to support her favorite businesses has blossomed into a directory of over 1,400 women & minority-owned small businesses, a resource sharing network, a touring vendor market funneling over $50,000 back into the hands of the underrepresented, and so much more.
