DMV's SiSi breaks down her wild journey building DC's hottest 30+ event empire after exploding on TikTok with 12,800 followers, on The Kenny D Show with Kenny D. This Liberian entrepreneur gets real about battling analysis paralysis since 2014, researching everything until someone told her to start small and test the market with free pilot events that hooked customers instantly. SiSi spills the tea on her strict door policies that turn away 27-year-olds, creating the most exclusive venues in chocolate city where women plan ahead and buy tickets immediately while men wait until the last minute. Kenny D digs deep into her venue management struggles, the strategy behind overselling events, and her pricing formula that balances expenses with capacity. The conversation covers dealing with industry copycats, her supportive relationship dynamic, and SiSi's advice about starting small and building your ideal event experience through iteration rather than perfectionism.

Mississippi's Richard Mattox takes listeners inside his wild journey from seven-year-old civil rights courier to Kappa Alpha Psi province leader on The Kenny D Show. In this episode, Richard breaks down carrying secret messages between NAACP activists in 1970s Mississippi while authorities monitored every adult in the movement but never suspected a kid. This fraternity powerhouse gets real about growing up with pictures of RFK, JFK, and MLK in every household, wanting to be president since seventh grade, and how military service shaped his political ambitions. Richard drops knowledge on his top five activists of all time, defending Barack Obama's legacy and why Congressman Benny Thompson's fearless January 6th leadership embodies true activism. Kenny D pushes hard on black family unity, marriage challenges in 2025, and whether fear stops potential activists from speaking up after seeing leaders like Malcolm X and Dr. King assassinated. The conversation covers Kappa's aviation programs getting 18-year-olds pilot licenses, Tyler Perry allegations, and Richard's five essential principles for young activists ready to change their communities.
