In this episode, we speak to Ajani Scott about her challenges of moving out to LA. to pursue her passion as a singer and lover of Spanish music. Only to be misled with smoke and mirrors by people she trusted and relied on that did not have her best interest at heart. Sharing with us some of the harsh realities that a single female living in LA could succumb to was not something she was willing to compromise. Having daily breakdowns as she states all while not knowing when or where the next rent check was coming from she realized that she had to figure it out quickly. So she decided to put her music on a very low flame and turn to real estate. Returning to the real estate game as her second love was something she knew she could grow with and grow she did. Knowing in her heart that if she stood in her own truth that she would persevere.  AS she quotes "success does not happen overnight but it can happen in one night". Well, this is just what happened to Ajani Scott.  One night she receives a call and the rest is history. Ajani becomes a celebrity real estate agent on VH1 new hit show Love and Listings and has been heating up the screen with her hot looks and cool vibes.

On this episode I speak with musician, lyricist, intellect and entrepreneur Charity Croff, as he shares with us that belief is the one thing you must have as a driver to all your desires. This hyper feminist artist talks with us about his belief in dismantling patriarchy against women and sharing with the world, women are the future. Using a intellectual wizardry of words on his newly released album Satori 55 is definitely one to listen and get in to, out now! Charity’s break through to success came when he released his first video and it garnered over 1 million views and to date over a 150million viewership he is looking to finish what Tupac untimely passing did not have the opportunity to do. @oldchapcharity 

He delivers a message to the world of Love, Peace, and intellectualism. As you listen to him you become captivated by his words and delivery.  This artist message is one that we as people need of today.

On this episode I speak with famed New York photographer and entrepreneur Keith Major. Keith shares with us what it was like growing up in the concrete jungle of NYC and having it as a backdrop of not only his work but life in general. Graduating from the prestigious Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) not only  gave him the skill set to ferociously go after his dream but to achieve that dream. It also prepared him for the business and gave him the capacity to develop, organize and manage that business for long term success. However, that success did not come without challenges. He talks to us about inclusion and acceptance in the business of commercial, fashion and beauty. Even though this trial reared it’s ugly head this did not stop Keith on his path of success. Shooting icons like Harry Belafonte, Iris Apfel and trumpeter Wynton Marsalis along with Kevin Hart, Tiffany Haddish, Taraji, Zendaya, Mary J Blige and Jill Scott  you name them he has shot them some of the biggest and hottest stars in America!
