Meet the Team
Desiree Okonkwo
Summer Intern
Hi! My name is Desiree Okonkwo and I am an incoming freshman at Princeton University majoring in Public Policy on a pre-law track who is passionate about community engagement and Black empowerment. As a Town Social intern, I support research, content creation, and outreach that celebrates the people and places that make New Jersey unique. Outside of school and work, I like to read fiction, play tennis, and paint!

FounderMy team had the idea of making this “about me” page during our recent staff meeting. I agreed it was a great idea. They submitted their bios on time - however I - am still working on mine.
Quick facts: I’m a mom, a Libra, I love what I do, I love my people.
P.S. I do not have locs anymore. This picture is old. Love ya.
Better bio coming soon!
Your trusted guide to finding your people and your places.
Town Social is a New Jersey discovery brand built around helping people experience local culture in a more meaningful way. We curate guides, experiences, and hidden gems that connect people to the places, food, and communities that make each town unique.
At the heart of everything we do is a focus on belonging, community, and local pride. We highlight culture through real places and real people — from neighborhood cafes and wellness spaces to local founders and Black-owned businesses shaping the future of New Jersey.
Our goal is simple: to make it easier for people to discover where they belong, who they connect with, and what makes each place worth experiencing.
