The Long View Gallery was standing room only—come through, D.C.! Imagine a sea of beautiful black people joined together to talk about how one can essentially control one’s own destiny. Chills.

“It’s all about making moves as a boss. It’s all about leadership. It’s all about staying cool, calm and in control but also taking good care of yourself,” said Danielle Belton, Editor-in-Chief of The Root.

If you missed Boss Moves, then you missed out (it’s our obligation to keep it 100). But don’t fret—we produced a video to stoke your FOMO flames.

Check out some clips of the evening above.
