I sit down on The Kickback With Keri led by Keri Henderson to talk about money and the fear of talking about event budgets.

One thing so many people overlook is budget. Maybe we fear talking about money when we shouldn’t.

Me asking what your budget is is not an attempt to take advantage of you. It is an effort to understand what is possible.

You can’t have Tyler Perry Paris in springtime with $5000. I wish it worked that way.

I had to think about if I wanted to say something about the Nottoway Plantation burning down.

The more I see how our industry continues to operate, the more necessary such topics need to be discussed in public and not behind closed doors.

During the height of the pandemic I was honored to sit on the board of Style Me Pretty’s DEI Council. On this board we talked about the visibility of plantation homes with well known history of slavery being used as “romantic” wedding venues.

The outrage towards Style Me Pretty was expected, but the same energy has never been given to the people who were drugged here without a single care of their dreams, loved ones or goals they held so tightly.

So if a slave owner so easily disregarded those lives, why on earth would I care about a plantation being burnt down?

This wasn’t a home. This was a building meant for forced labor, terror, sexual assault, the means to deprive gifts and so much more.

This plantation was historic for all the wrong reasons and only existed because 155 Black people were forced to build something they would never take pride in.

Wedding professionals have aided couples for decades in hosting weddings at these locations and you know what people are sad about?

A wedding venue burning down.

Not the suffering that took place

Not the Black bodies held hostage

Not the trauma that is still at work today

So no I will not shed a single tear over this plantation nor any other that succumbs to an untimely demise.

We really need to do a better job at focusing on what matters most. Humanity.

I think this is worth REPEATING:

You are not obligated to have the following at your wedding:⁣
⁣
Wedding Favors⁣
Plus 1s⁣
Kids⁣
Folks who don't know how to dress for a wedding⁣
Pets⁣
Your mom's boyfriend you don't know⁣
⁣
And if someone gets mad, you’re not obligated to allow them to keep their invitation. ⁣
⁣
Stop letting people bully you into doing things you don’t want to on your wedding day. ⁣

I count it a blessing to be able to participate in Keri Henderson amazing podcast.

I’ve been through some things and this week, we’re talking about it all.

From serving in the army to running an elite event planning business, I believe my story is a masterclass in reinvention, purpose-driven business, and storytelling through experiences.

In this episode of The Kickback With Keri podcast, I open up about:

✨ Navigating the transition from military to entrepreneurship
✨ His strategic pivot that accelerated his business
✨ The business fundamentals every creative entrepreneur should know

Ok I believe hands down this was the best MET Gala carpet experience to date based on the amount of people who dressed to the theme. Also based the amount of men who actually made an effort.
