Hey Guys! Thanks for commenting!
To Jamilah Spleen -So you might not be able to pull out your bank book and write a check for a million bucks, but working together with friends and family can add up to $1 million.
Never think your contribution doesn't matter.
To Dior - A lot of entertainers who have earned [or appear to have earned] a substancial amount of money from their career don't really spend time in philanthropy. But they do take their stacks and buy jewelry - is it conflict free? that's what I want to know! - and tip strippers. Freak'n sad!
To Pitch Black Entertainment - Are you Haitian? I hope your family is alright!
To Jay Junior - That's the right attitude!
