I had the pleasure of attending the Martell Iconic Blueprint event in Chicago. It was hosted by Rob Hill Sr. Hill is nationally known as a motivational speaker and author. He deals with love and relationships and is often called the "Heart Healer". The Martell honorary of the night was Olusola "Shala" Akintunde. Akintunde is a first generation Nigerian- American raised on the North side of Chicago.

The three hour event was held at The Shrine located on Wabash. The first hour was a cocktail reception featuring drinks mixed with Martell. The next hour was a intimate conversation between Rob Hill Sr. and Shala. Durning this talk they went over their past and what they're currently doing to improve the state of the world. Last hour was more mixing it up with other Chicagoans and we were given a Martell cocktail glass as a parting gift.

The Martell Iconic Blueprints program is a way to honor those in the community who embody the vision of the Martell brand, defying and exceeding expectations and inspiring others to do the same.
