Papa Legba's Lounge LLC

I had the honor of sponsoring a table at the 14th annual #Gala4Goals in Minneapolis on Saturday, and it was truly inspirational. The Rae Mackenzie Group, Inc. advises corporations about the opportunities to sponsor events like Gala4Goals. Good events provide all of us with the space to build powerful relationships. And RMG tries to maximize these opportunities whenever we can. I can't tell you how rewarding it was to invite local small business owners and nonprofit leaders to join us at our table as our very special guest. We had a night to remember! A huge shoutout to our amazing guests: Ose Sesay and Imran Sesay from Push Strategist, James Nagbe from Genesys Works Twin Cities, Gloria Freeman from Olu's Home, Inc. & Olu’s Beginnings and the dynamic duo Dolly Agnew & her son Christopher from Papa Legba'sLounge. Minnesota is in good shape with leaders like these! A special shoutout to my good friend Tony Sanneh! The work you are doing at The Sanneh Foundation is so important, and I will continue to support you in any way I can. Loved seeing all those young people. They are EVERYTHING! Congratulations on another successful Gala4Goals!

If you are available this afternoon come on out & celebrate Sabathani Community Center. It’s a free event & Papa Legba's Lounge LLC is catering the good vibes and the spirits. Come on out for some fun tonight, you deserve it!

This is how you greet the TV anchor when the TV anchor is your friend. Chile, I loves me some Heather Brown. That's all, that's the post.

I literally cried tears of joy last night when I found out we won not 1 but 2 Midwest Emmys for season 1 of our TV Show!!! 🏆🏆💪🏽 Creating Here’s the Truth has been the hardest yet most rewarding thing I’ve done in my professional career. Three years ago when I started my company, BLCK Press, I simply wanted to create a platfom for independent media makers to authentically tell the stories that matter. I had no idea how it was going to happen but I trusted God would provide a way. Now with the show I have been able to create multiple full time jobs with my company for other creatives to do this work. Although it’s a huge responsibility it’s also deeply gratifying. I could not do this without my team who rocks with me every day Joshua S. Cobb, Francisco Sanchez, Shari Hutar-Brochhausen, Kimberly Steward, Brian Few Jr newcomers Adrian Wilson and Destiny Roberts and our former producer and cinematographer from season 1 Becca and Ron. And to the people who see the VALUE in what we do and continue to invest in telling our stories… THANK YOU. Because truly without our advertisers, sponsors, partners and monthly supporters who financially contribute to our vision we would not be able to do what we do. So to Center for Economic Inclusion, U.S. Bank, Rae Mackenzie Group, Inc., NEOO Partners Inc., Minnesota Freedom Fund Inc., Black Collective Foundation MN, Media Bridge Advertising® and to each of you who support monthly you made this possible 🙌🏽
