I heard of the Queen Of Harlem before I met her (which I am sure is the case as it relates to her meeting me.) The Queen’s name has been ringing bells in certain circles for years. When I did finally meet her I immediately felt boss energy. I noticed she loved others before she loved her self but at the same time could still be ice cold. The way she independently funds and runs all her businesses and takes care of the world while raising her children is truly an art. She’s cut from the cloth that is rare these days and she is more thorough than most dudes I know. I immediately asked her to come run my companies, but of course, she has her own. In a relatively short time, we became family, and getting to know her and hearing certain stories, I challenged her to write her book so we could turn it into a movie. And of course, the Queen accepted that challenge, she would send me chapters and I was blown away with how eloquently she writes. There is nothing this woman can’t do and I am so proud of her, and I know how difficult this was to her because she’s such a humble and private person. Overall Michelle is one of the most solid people I know. Her morals and principles mean everything to her and she will unapologetically not compromise them for anything in the world, and I respect that. She is fearless, and her children are a proper reflection of her, you can tell they were raised right. She’s also a different kind of fine, she is fine as red wine all of the time. And always fresh, and I have to say, you will see and feel all of this in her book. And I’m hoping Michelle will take some time off and celebrate this win. But I know she won’t because her work ethic is incredible. I’m looking forward to the next one.
