Greetings y'all. If this is our first connection, here is a little bit about me. Welcome to my 🧵 My life's work is focused around proving that although venture funding is absolutely not right for everybody it needs to be equally accessible to anybody.

Merry Mother's Day

For perspective Michigan sold $3.3 billion in recreational in 2025 alone.

"why would I need an eraser?"- kids these days :)

Thank you @TedTurnerIII and @funnyordie

Hottest chick in the game, wearing my chain.

@BlackTechWeek 2025 was special last week! 7,000 people came to Cincy to share in community and culture. Had a blast on stage w/ @TWStarr and @SashaMac17 talking all things diligence in both early stage and later stage investments.

Yeah, that sounds like something I would say. Thank you Professor.

I have a new doctor.

Hey @BrianBrackeen, can you come up to Columbus and do a quick "pick your brain" meeting this weekend? @BlackTechWeek

Practicing for our @BlackTechWeek panel in Pittsburgh tonight w/ @dmaultsby53! @BrianBrackeen @candicecincy @lightshipfound @lightshipcap @16BitBar

"We can't stop here. This is bat country." Driving to Louisville with my attorney is making all my HST dreams come true. @dmaultsby53

For anyone who has ever seen me wear a "Black Tech Week" shirt... This guy is the co-founder of the team that brought it to Ohio!

Best call ever! "I'm sorry we need to move the meeting due to a conflict... But the good news is we don't really need the meeting because you are now fully approved"

Party in the back! @NYSE

Thank you to the @NYSE for including the @pridefund1 in your first innagural Pride celebration.

This is my favorite Bingo card.

MIT is being sued bc of their grant program for women of color. What they’re saying is that they feel white women are being discriminated against. What we need* is for a coalition of white women to say they do NOT feel discriminated against. In the thousands, in the millions. *In addition to everything we’re already doing. This is nothing new. We have seen it with Fearless Fund, Hello Alice, and more.

.@densilporteous & @TWStarr are coming to Pgh - don’t miss this one.

Wife: What was that call? Me: it was the most ridiculous idea I've heard all week. Wife: nope you hear a lot of ideas every day. Me: (Explained the conversation) Wife: That is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard!
