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. – at Columbus, OH
For perspective Michigan sold $3.3 billion in recreational in 2025 alone.
As of Jan. 3, 2026, Ohioans have bought just under $1.1 billion in recreational marijuana since legal sales began in August 2024. nbc4i.com/news/local-news/ce…

@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.

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"
Thank you to the @NYSE for including the @pridefund1 in your first innagural Pride celebration.
This is my favorite Bingo card.
So PROUD of the team at @lightshipfound who are DOING THE WORK!! Excited to share our first impact website to go along with our report... Some of the programs we operate are over 10 years old now, and we feel like we are just getting started! Ad Astra! lightship.foundation/impact

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.
