À propos de ce contenu audio

 "Entrepreneurship is everywhere right now, but how do you turn a 'hustle' into a legacy? Today, we’re talking with the woman behind Milwaukee’s biggest stage for Black-owned businesses.".


In this soul-stirring episode of Where I Come From MKE, host Antonio Luckett (Mr. Tonedef) sits down with the powerhouse serial entrepreneur Rita Lee to discuss the upcoming 3rd Annual Milwaukee Black Business Expo. This isn’t just an event; it’s a movement dedicated to providing exposure for small businesses and a "leap of faith" for new entrepreneurs.


Rita shares her deeply personal journey—from running restaurants for over a decade to her current mission of mentoring women and youth in the city. Together, they dive into the "grind" of 2026, the power of staying "prayed up" through business lows, and why passion must be the heartbeat of every venture. Whether you are a seasoned business owner or a "hustler" looking to go legitimate, this conversation is packed with the "jewels" you need to level up.
Mark your calendars for February 28th! Join us at the Zoo Safari Conference Center from 12 PM to 4 PM for a day of networking, entertainment, and empowerment. Admission is FREE!. Don't forget to follow Rita Lee and TDR Network for more updates.
