BOSSIP 10th Anniversary Party With Ford And Martell As Sponsors
BOSSIP Celebrates 10th Anniversary With Ford Sponsored Holiday Event Featuring Performances From Sevyn Streeter And More!
Sevyn Streeter Headlines Bossip 10th Anniversary Party Sponsored By Ford
Last Wednesday, BOSSIP celebrated our 10th Anniversary with a star-studded party sponsored by Ford Motor Group. The event included casino games, a photo booth and specially catered light bites along with cocktails by Martell Cognac. Sevyn Streeter took to the stage with a special surprise performance sure to inspire guests to #gofurther.
Prior to headlining BOSSIP’s event, Seyvn Streeter has appeared in alignment with Ford on numerous occasions. This year she aligned with Ford through their Revolt partnership in a video with Ford Explorer. Previously, Sevyn curated a Ford Pandora mixtape playlist for Black Music Month and hosted the Essence Music Festival Super Lounge activation with Karen Civil. Last year she also shared her plans with REVOLT on how she planned to Go Further with Ford in her career.
This year’s involvement follows a two-year history which includes her 2014 road to ESSENCE fest journey celebrating her birthday weekend, which culminated with a special dinner and live streamed performance from the Essence Festival Ford Super Lounge.
A 2016 #FordExplorer vehicle was featured outside the event space for guests to stop for photos. Here are some details on the car:
New 2016 Ford Explorer brings more smart technology, an available 2.3-liter EcoBoost® four-cylinder engine and a high-end Platinum model
Explorer Platinum combines the performance of the popular Explorer Sport with new levels of comfort and craftsmanship inside, offering customers the most well-appointed Ford SUV yet
New 2.3-liter EcoBoost engine delivers more horsepower and torque than the four-cylinder it replaces; for the first time on Explorer, four-cylinder EcoBoost engine can be paired with available tow package and intelligent four-wheel drive with Terrain Management System™
More than 7 million Explorers have been sold in the United States, making it America’s best-selling SUV for 25 straight years
The vehicle that gave us room to roam reminds us that there is always room to grow and #ExploreMore.
