We recently attended American Sesh which is an business incubator event hosted by Pinky Cole Hayes (Slutty Vegan CEO) and her husband Derrick Hayes (Big Dave’s Cheesesteaks CEO). American Sesh is “Where Your Mind Is Your Currency” We were excited to attend Sesh27 and learn, network and collborate with other entrpreneurs. A few highlights of our sesh was watching businesses being launched and funded during the event. One of the rules of the house that really stood out besides no phones was- no egos in the room. There were so much collaboration before the event as we prepared to go in and even more once the main event was over. Pinky confirmed she is eager to bring American Sesh to television really soon. As a proud alumni of Sesh 27, if you have the opportunity to go to a live event - don’t hesitate. For more information on how to secure your seat, visit the American Sesh site.
It was truly an honor to be invited to spend An Evening With Rick Ross hosted by Georgia State College of Law Professor Mo Ivory based on her course #LegalLifeRickRoss. Each year, Professor Ivory builds a curriculum around a figure for her class to study. Lessons include materials like business contracts, acquistion agreements and more. It was a night filled with tons of insight into Rick Ross’ business mindset, the way he approaches deals and more. Ross also shared insight into how he built his team, we heard from his team on contracts, branding & more. He shared lessons in business and how he sees his future. Professor Ivory’s students shared with us how much they enjoyed the course and the way Professor Ivory makes learning so relatable and easy. Bonus: We met his mom who was the absolute sweetest. Special thanks to Attorney Leron Rogers and Attorney John Rose for the invitation and opportunity to learn and gain valuable insight into the business life of Rick Ross. Thank you Professor Ivory and Georgia State College of Law!
The Florida A&M Rattlers were victorious with a 30-26 win over Howard University in the 8th annual Cerebration Bowl at Mercedes Benz Stadium. Both teams were making their first appearance in the game, which decides the Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) national champion.
Fans in attendance enjoyed great plays and great halftime performances by both universities which had Vice President Kamala Harris on her feet enjoying the festivities.
