LaunchNET News: Gravy, You So Vicious

Back to your regularly scheduled programming of opportunities with a dash of drama.
The Latest & Greatest from LaunchNET Kent State
Y'all...did you see Yung Gravy and Sheri at the VMAs?? I'm not one to hate on a budding romance, in fact I will more than likely be the first person to encourage it, but something feels very off here. The forced PDA, the awkward middle school kiss, oddly blank stares at the camera...I'm uncomfy.

And nobody ask me about Monty because I simply cannot discuss that man.

Anyways, if you have an extra ticket for Gravy at Homecoming, lmk 🤪

Highlights for the week include: painting rocks with All the CEO Ladies, ArtsLAUNCH! grants are back, pitching and food trucks, tips on being a digital creator, and a book recommendation ✨
