Seagram’s Escapes and rolling out presented the last installment of “Cocktails and Conversations,” a women’s empowerment tour on Saturday, June 26. The virtual panel highlighted Black women entrepreneurs who have overcome obstacles they faced on their road to becoming innovators in their fields. On the panel were influencers B. Simone (comedian, actress, MTV Wild ‘N Out), LaLa Milan (comedian, actress, BET’s Boomerang) and Claudia Jordan (talk show host, TV host, VH1’s Love and Hip-Hop Reunions) and moderator Nina Parker (entrepreneur, news correspondent, E!’s Nightly Pop, E!’s Daily Pop, E! News).
Milan, who is also known for her podcast, The Salon With Lala Milan, noted during the event that persistence is the key to success. “Don’t be discouraged by where you are; look at where you came from, and never forget that you got there by being consistent,” she shared. Milan then added, “Do not stop because at the end of the day, slow progress is progress, and you will eventually get there.”
