The Giving Keys, a social impact fashion brand changing lives with inspirational jewelry through their Pay It Forward business model, employs those transitioning out of homelessness to make and assemble their products. Every product is stamped with an inspirational word like DREAM, STRENGTH, HOPE, etc., and the wearer is encouraged to embrace their word, then pay it forward by giving their product to a person who needs the message more. In celebration of their new collection, The Giving Keys debuted their classic best-selling necklace, re-imaged in a bold, matte black style, and presented each guest with their own personal product.

Following brand President Britt Gilmore’s presentation, Kendrick Sampson was so moved that he requested a tour of headquarters in order to meet the individuals who create The Giving Keys. He said the BELIEVE Key he received at the event meant so much to him because that one word inspired him to never give up on his dreams to act. Also in attendance was The Bachelorette star Luke Pell who serendipitously received a hand-stamped LOVE Matte Black key necklace. Other brand supporters Tajh Mowry and Serinda Swan posed with friends in the interactive photo booth curated by renowned Brazilian photographer Cacá Santoro as part of her Projector Series.
