    Amazing✅ This was a “Katt Williams” on Shannon Sharpe interview. The way yall asked her questions and she went HARD (Pause) dropping fact, names & stayed all the way in compliance was EPIC.

    Sounds like she’s a middle man basically, really wanted to hear is she turning a profit or not. I understand what she’s doing but maybe I’m not informed enough bc respectfully wasn’t anything truly answered and this was all over the place, and it definitely also sounded like charity. Salute to her though!

    Sounds like Mark is trying to mentor her low key. Hopefully she doesn’t let her ego get in the way. A fund is great but useless without returns for investors. She needs to figure out how to generate money from the companies she’s invested in stat. That takes vision and unity.
