Away’s Post

In recognition of Juneteenth yesterday, we honored a powerful moment in U.S. history and reflected on the resilience, joy, and ongoing fight for equity it represents. This year, we embraced the opportunity not just to observe the day, but to intentionally create space for Black artistry, celebration, and connection across our team and broader community. On Wednesday, Away's Black Collective ERG brought that spirit to life at our NoHo store, hosting an incredible Juneteenth event. From a powerful spoken word performance by Roya Marsh, to live luggage painting by Haenley Pierre (with proceeds benefiting Covenant House, supporting NYC youth facing homelessness), our ERG members, employees, and local community enjoyed an evening of celebration and reflection alike. Our ERGs are the heart of employee engagement at Away. They create spaces for connection, cultural celebration, and shared purpose — and we're so grateful to The Black Collective for leading the way. 🖤❤️💚 #Juneteenth #EmployeeEngagement #LifeAtAway #ERG #AwayTogether
