I was privileged last week to serve as a guest lecture at @BrownUniversity’s @BrownEship. The Director of the B-Lab program, @lexithevc, invited me to lecture the 2024 B-Lab cohort. My lecture covered the legal landscape of venture backed startups. Had an absolute blast.

Have you ever been asked to keynote a multi-billion dollar Fortune 500 company's event to discuss strides in diversity in tech and they offer to pay you $0.00 to speak? Bffr yall.
Always happy to share my thoughts on my favorite industry. (Spoiler alert: it's not going to end the world)
NEW: As the AI boom continues, I asked what role ethics plays in the building of the technology and where investors fit in as they rush to fund it. Thank you, @hpierrejacques, @lexithevc, Justyn Hornor, and Deep Nishar, for chatting! techcrunch.com/2023/05/03/ai-…
Don't let the neutral tones, beach waves, and clean girl aesthetic fool you.... this is still the same woman she always was. And still a fraud.
The black turtlenecks are gone. So is the voice. As the convicted Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes awaits prison, she has adopted a new persona. nyti.ms/3p95A8q

Miami...you ready to party? 🎉 To launch our brand spankin' new #AllRaiseMIA Chapter, we're throwing a party at @Superblueart Miami with our partner @GetCities. Don't forget to let us know you're coming! We can't wait to meet you 👉🏾 bit.ly/AllRaise-MIA
We're bringing real change to what WSJ dubbed the country's newest tech hub. A massive shift in Miami is underway, and we've assembled a fantastic group of leaders to lead the charge! 🙌🏽 We are so proud to announce the All Raise Miami Chapter Steering Committee! 🧵
Auntie Yolanda was one of the most inspiring founders I have ever had the pleasure of working with. You will be missed!
iwi freshers, we are saddened to share that Atlanta’s very own, Yolanda Owens, The Skincare Chef has passed. Although Yolanda will be deeply missed by the community she has cultivated, her legacy and spirit shall continue to love and thrive.
Anytime people question why my diligence takes so long, I have to remind them of events like this. This is disheartening, but is more common than anyone wants to admit. SBF, Holmes, and Charlie aren't the only ones in these streets scheming. forbes.com/sites/alexandr…
So excited to finally announce that @AllRaise is coming to Miami! Join us for the launch event - bit.ly/3Gfw2lF
This was news to me, love learning our history!!
Yes, a Black woman developed the tech behind caller ID 🙌🏾 Dr Shirley Ann Jackson's scientific breakthroughs contributed to the development of the fax machine, touch-tone phone, fiber optic cells, solar cells, caller ID and much more! buff.ly/3FDeuOe
Founders please, I beg you. Please do not send biz dev, sales, interns, CFOs, advisors, mentors etc to intro meetings with VCs. I really only want to meet the founders. I'm investing in the founders and I can't be their champion if I don't meet them.
Looks like we might finally be kissing 20M+ seed valuations goodbye
Let's bring this back AND start playing music that we recorded from the radio on our voicemails again.
Y’all remember when we used to end phone calls by saying “1”.. what did that even mean??
