As a member of Glam+Go blowout salon, I was excited to try out their new location - Glam+Go NOMAD at Luminary (NYC) last week. When I arrived to check-in I was immediately taken by the brand new, beautiful open work space called Luminary (see for yourself in the video below)! I was fortunate to meet the real life definition of a Boss Babe, Founder Cate Luzio, and take a tour of this 11,000 square foot dream work space that encompasses everything from communal workspace, conference rooms & private phone booths to complimentary wine & meditation room! Read on for more details!

What do you do as a working woman, who after twenty years of experience in financial services, has yet to see enough investment in female talent? Cate Luzio, Founder and CEO of Luminary, was in this position and made the bold move to leave banking to create Luminary, an ecosystem to help women.

Are men and people who identify as male allowed to join Luminary?
Luminary understands that often women work, partner, and collaborate with men professionally – we need them on our journey too! Because our mission is to help women stay in boss mode, we will welcome male guests, speakers and facilitators in certain programs and events. In addition, if a Member would like to host a meeting with a man/men in our conference room space, we will just require notice. However, Members who rent our private event space are welcome to host guests of all genders.
