    103. 2021 Black Ambition Grand Prize Winners Justin Turk & Andre Davis - Livegistics
    2022/12/16
    A special two-episode drop: From pitching family members at a birthday barbecue to winning the $1 million Black Ambition grand prize, Justin Turk and Andre Davis funded their construction-software company without any experience raising capital for a startup. “I didn't have a venture capital Rolodex,” Justin tells Felecia in episode 3 of So Ambitious. “I didn't know the angel investors were around the corner.” What he was sure of was that even when he was one of three Black entrepreneurs in a room full of people pitching ideas to investors, he was in the right place: “That's what I feel like being uninterrupted means,” he says. “I am where I belong.” https://livegistics.com/ Sponsored by Heineken USA.

    106. The First House of Ballroom - The Royal House of LaBeija
    2023/01/19
    From a shout-out by Beyonce to securing partnerships with Facebook and Louis Vuitton, Jeffrey LaBeija and Marcus LaBeija of the Royal House of LaBeija know the power of visibility in building a brand. In this episode, they talk with Felecia about the multimillion dollar business of ballroom. “Who we are as Black queer people isn't necessarily always celebrated,” says Marcus. “It's always associated with shame or guilt or remorse. In ballroom, it’s associated with a grand prize and cash.” These leaders from drag’s first house talk to Felecia about trademarks, mutually beneficial partnerships, and how entrepreneurship is inherent to being Black in America. https://www.royalhouseoflabeija.com Sponsored by Heineken USA.
