Meet the Founder
I am G.E. Loveless, Curator of Brand You Brunch.
Since 2014, I have transformed countless ideas into community-rooted initiatives, digital media campaigns, and impactful events.
Brand You Brunch was born from a need I recognized among BIPOC and LGBTQ young professionals—individuals who, like me, crave spaces where they can feel comfortable, confident, and celebrated, where the focus is on comfort, authenticity, and self-expression rather than superficial standards. My goal is to uplift those who feel misunderstood, unseen, or ignored. Plus, I’m a champion of brunch and have forged several meaningful friendships throughout my career.
Collaborating with spaces that bring people together across different lived and professional experiences is my driving force.
If you need a listening ear to empower your ideas or simply want to connect over coffee or brunch, I invite you to reach out!

The Brand You Brunch was well-organized & provided adequate time for mixing & mingling. Loved the food & signature drink served alongside the boozeless bar.
Admired G.E.’s comfort in public speaking, confidence throughout the event, great problem-solving skills in receiving feedback from attendees to then make a physical adjustment of the space mid-segment, & the care put into swag bags for mentors & mentees.
