Shinese Brathwaite is an event planner, blogger, creator, and owner of BK Girls Night Out, LLC – a Brooklyn Lifestyle Influence brand. At just 5 years old, she emigrated from Guyana, South America to Brooklyn, NY, residing in Crown Heights, Flatbush, and now Bushwick. : As she explored her new city, Shinese felt compelled to narrate Brooklyn living, bring women together, and celebrate all things Brooklyn. With years of experience in fashion, retail, sales, and marketing, she used her knowledge to launch her business, BK Girls Night Out, in 2014. Since then, she has worked with over 100 female businesses and counting. : Shinese is also passionate about hosting parties with a purpose; seeking a way to educate, enlighten, or inform women about health issues that affect them. Her annual “Think Pink Event” celebrates breast cancer survivors or those working towards decreasing and eradicating the disease. : Shinese has been recognized on a variety of platforms, but most recently in “Caribbean Life”, New York’s local newspaper for Caribbean news, where she received the Caribbean Impact award. She was also featured for hosting her noteworthy event, Runway from the Coast, where she aims to showcase the connection in African and Caribbean cultures. : When Shinese is not building her brand, you can find her cooking her cultural foods from Guyana, traveling with loved ones, or spending time with girlfriends.
