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! .

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.

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 Atlantaโs 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.

This was news to me, love learning our history!!.
Yes, a Black woman developed the tech behind caller ID ๐๐พ. 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!.

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.
