I was so excited to speak to Seun. There I was, mindlessly scrolling through LinkedIn when I came across an article about the youngest Black man to own a cannabis dispensary.

Did you watch that video that was circulating around last week and the week before of a woman physically attacking her husband's alleged side chic and asking her who she thought she was to be having anal sex with her husband?
