I grew up watching KeKe Palmer, and I'm happy to see her still thriving in the media and arts industry. She may be just another Hollywood actor to some, but I think she's one of the best examples of an indie creator multihyphenate. I'll break down where I see her current creative career, and give some ideas for where I think she's headed. Young mothers and millennials, this one is for you. After all, Baby this is Keke Palmer!

I'd love to hear from you!

This deep dive came highly requested on YouTube! I'm diving into the world of celebrity podcast by sharing an unlikely take on Shannon Sharpe's show, Club Shay Shay. Why would a 3x Super Bowl Champion and Fox Sports 1 host making $3M/year create a video podcast specifically for YouTube? I try to answer that question in this episode.

I'd love to hear from you!

There are many ways to fund independent creative projects or even new business ventures. Crowdfunding isn't one I see talked about much. I'm not a start-up, so all the think pieces on raising venture capital didn't really apply to me. I did a crowdfund for my first independent short film, and I share my thoughts on what worked, what didn't, and what you should consider if you're looking to leverage your community to help start your next big idea!

I'd love to hear from you!

How are Black businesses doing? I mean, really doing? I took a look at the numbers for North Carolina, and a few studies of Black businesses in the US to find out. I gave my assessment of what's going well, areas of opportunity, and a few suggestions for a path forward.

P.S. I hope the audio sounds better now. I recorded this episode in my room with the pop filter on, so my voice should sound smoother.

I'd love to hear from you!

I've applied to many grants, RFPs, and paid fellowship programs, and honestly, my experience has been a mixed bag. I share my thoughts on how grants should fit into your revenue strategy from my perspective as a for-profit business owner.

I sat down with Damien Moore, the co-founder of Dame's Chicken and Waffles, a staple restaurant founded in Durham, NC. With 4 locations across North Carolina, this Southern comfort food and brunch staple is showing no signs of slowing down. We talked about how Dame shifted his catering business to develop a brick-and-mortar restaurant, how they've approached expanding into new locations, and how they've weathered economically uncertain times. I love how he thinks about menu development, customer experience, and investing in his community and staff. This is a must-listen episode for food entrepreneurs.

I'd love to hear from you!
