Minneapolis, MN - The Twin Cities Hair & Beauty Expo is pleased to announce the launch of its innovative new app, Twin Cities Connect. This groundbreaking app is designed to connect the Twin Cities community not just during the Expo but throughout the entire year.
Twin Cities Connect includes a unique social networking feature that segments your social network within the Twin Cities community. The app's primary goal is to foster community connections and restore the sense of engagement that may have been lost during the pandemic.
About Twin Cities Connect:
The app aims to rebuild socialization skills and community engagement. Creator Tephanie Delaney emphasized the importance of reconnecting in a post-pandemic world where social distancing and lack of physical interaction have impacted our sense of community.
Twin Cities Connect functions similarly to popular social networking sites like Facebook and Instagram but focuses on local connections. Users can interact with people who live nearby, grew up in the area, or have ties to the Twin Cities, ensuring a more meaningful and relevant social experience.
In terms of the Expo, the app provides comprehensive access to the Twin Cities Hair & Beauty Expo, including information on sponsors, workshops, panel discussions, live demonstrations, and vendor showcases. The Expo provides an empowering space for networking, education, and inspiration. Users of the app can engage and stay updated with the Expo's events and activities in real-time. This year’s Expo theme, "Black to the Future," underscores the importance of ensuring people of color are not left behind in emerging technological trends. Tephanie Delaney, founding member of the Expo, is a Celebrity Branding Agent and media technology firm owner and strongly believes that technology is crucial for the future. The concept of the theme is to emphasize education and innovation, representing a commitment to propelling Black culture, inventions, innovations, events, and ideas into the future.
One of the app’s standout features is its support for minority-owned businesses within the Twin Cities. Business owners can run ads for their businesses directly on the app, allowing users to connect and support these local enterprises. This feature is designed to boost revenue and visibility for minority business owners, fostering economic growth within the community.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the Minneapolis-St. Paul metropolitan area is home to over 3.6 million people, making it the 16th largest metropolitan area in the United States. This diverse population creates a rich tapestry of cultures and communities that Twin Cities Connect aims to unite and empower.
“This app is for everyone. While it empowers minority-owned businesses by creating opportunities for more visibility, Twin Cities Connect is designed to connect the Twin Cities at large. It is for all of us, because regardless of race, nationality, or ethnicity, we are all part of the human race. The humanity aspect was something I felt was disconnected during the pandemic, and this app aims to restore that vital connection,” says Tephanie Delaney. "I've always believed in creating spaces of opportunity and empowerment. This app is no different."
