The portfolio
More than one lane.
Five businesses, one nonprofit and two more on the way. Each keeps its own brand and its own team. What they share is a purpose: every one of them is built to serve the community around it and to open doors for other people.
01 · Events
REIGN The Venue
Founder · Crowned Ventures LLC · Open
A modern blank canvas in the heart of downtown Fredericksburg. Couples, families and companies bring their caterer and their vision; REIGN brings the room, the polish and the team. Weddings, milestones, offsites and content shoots, all in one space that adapts.

Serenity Salon Suites & Podcast Studio
Co-owner · Open
Serenity is a building I own with two business partners: three Black women entrepreneurs. Inside are seven private, customizable suites where beauty professionals build their own brands, and a sound-treated podcast studio for creators, coaches and businesses. Each suite rents separately, and every tenant shares the wash bowl room, two restrooms and the kitchenette.
