Give us a little bio about you
I am one of six children, and I fall somewhere in the middle. A facilitator and mediator with a mindset to mentally, financially and physically free the family tree of myths and stereotypes. An unconventional mind that stans for re-creating Black Wall-Street.
Define Elliott with a rap quote
“For the living large, but momma I ain’t done yet. Sit back and watch your son rise. Kick back and know your son set. Forever I ain’t run yet. AND I never will” J Cole
