Secret Wine Party at Little Maven NYC

The Secret Wine Party took over Little Maven, one of New York City’s newest modern restaurants. The vibes were high, with guests enjoying complimentary wine, networking with new and old friends, and of course, hanging out with the VeeFriends Team! We appreciate everyone who showed up and had a blast with us!

VeeFriends Brought Heat to the Basketball Court at Battle for NY

The VeeFriends team had the thrill of competing in Battle For NY this week, a Web3 basketball tournament where leading projects across the NFT space battled 3v3. The event was organized by VeeFriends holder Katz (@Katzness) and her team at Takeover, who made the striking red custom jerseys in the photo. VeeFriends showcased their competitive spirit by clinching an initial victory against DeGods but faced challenges in subsequent matches against Magic Eden and a rematch against DeGods. Needless to say, the team had a blast, is grateful for the invitation, and will certainly be hitting the courts to up their game and prepare for the next tournament!

VeeFriends Cards Takeover at Bleeker Trade Night

VeeFriends x Bleecker Trade Night proved to be a lively evening, featuring a mix of OG Veefriends and fresh faces! The event buzzed with card trades, networking with local collectors, but the true highlight was the unveiling of the VeeFriends mystery packs. Many left with their very first VF card, making it an unforgettable night for all.

Bio:

Tyler Lenn Bradley is a Motivational Poet with a passion for dancing, anime, traveling, and dogs. Her professional journey is centered around using poetry as a tool to inspire people to overcome their fears and pursue their dreams with joy. Having battled anxiety and depression personally, Tyler makes it her mission to encourage others to prioritize self-love and mental health. She enjoys speaking to various age groups, particularly college-aged students, about the importance of kindness to oneself and conquering fears. Tyler’s poetry has taken her to stages both nationally and internationally, culminating in the recent publication of her first poetry book, “Phasing Freely,” which delves into her mental health journey through the phases of the moon.

Aside from writing, Tyler performs a one-woman adaptation live show titled “Phasing Freely Live,” where she shares her experiences with mental health in real-time, aiming to inspire others to embark on their own mental health journeys. Beyond the poetry world, she works as a live entertainment Creative Producer for some of the world’s most beloved theme parks. Currently, Tyler is also working on launching a podcast, aiming to connect with and uplift others in yet another exciting avenue.

What VeeFriends Means to Tyler:

Tyler finds VeeFriends to be a community that embodies kindness and passion, values she naturally gravitates towards. Attending VeeCons and being honored as a Burn Island Eruption #8 winner, Tyler has encountered individuals within the community who exude enthusiasm for the brand and offer warmth and support to each other. As an artist, Tyler appreciates connecting with fellow creatives who share a belief in something greater and want to support each other. VeeFriends has provided a welcoming space for Tyler to meet amazing people and a community that continually inspires her to be creative and share her art with the world.

Favorite VeeFriends Character:

Tyler’s favorite character within the VeeFriends universe is the Ambitious Angel. This character resonates deeply with Tyler due to its embodiment of ambition, virtue, and integrity, qualities that align with her core values. Seeing a character that reflects her own ambition, coupled with kindness, is incredibly meaningful to Tyler.

Fun Fact:

In 2022, Tyler made a life-changing decision to quit her stable corporate job and embark on a journey of self-discovery and adventure. Alongside her partner, Tyler traveled to 3 continents, 12 countries, and 22 cities in 5 months. This bold move was spurred by her realization of equating self-worth solely to her career, which was affecting her mental health. The journey allowed her to prioritize her well-being and reevaluate what brings her joy. Additionally, as a spoken word artist, Tyler seized the opportunity to book her own international poetry tour during this time, performing nine times in six different countries and winning her first poetry slam in Sydney, Australia. This transformative experience taught Tyler the importance of pushing through fear and pursuing what truly matters in life.
