We did it!
12/11/21 was one of the best days (weekends) of my life!
The wife and I (I love the way that sounds) sat and chatted about our wedding weekend as we introduce you to our new podcast series, This Love Runs Deep.
This intro podcast takes a deep dive into the details of the weekend such as the history of 12/11, a few of our vendors we worked with and our plans to grow our own podcast.
Sit back and relax and see why This Love Runs Deep.
Erica and I were asked by our dears friends Selah and Russell to record a snippet of what we are grateful for this Holiday Season. If you know Erica and I, we can talk, so a 2-4 minute snippet was nearly impossible lol
Be sure to follow Selah’s podcast: http://www.anchor.fm/progress-pain
This is just a taste of what’s to come as we will also be launching our own podcast in 2022; The Do Over. We look forward to chatting together and with guest about those moments in life where it was necessary to do love over with grace and perseverance.
Happy Holidays!
With Love,
Derrick and Erica Davis

I had the opportunity to sit and chat with my long time friend, the entrepreneur, the wedding planner, the creative, the true definition of a HUSTLER, The CrystalMarie from Detroit, MI.

We live in a world where staying “booked and busy”, multitasking, and doing the most are awarded. But what happens when that house of cards falls or begins to fall?
Balance and mental health need to be prioritized and praised just as much (or more) than booked and busy.
Take a listen as I chat with guest host Arminta McKinney, photographer www.ArmintaMcKinney.com and host of AM Blended Families Podcast.
I’m also proud to announce that my beautiful fiancé Erica was also able to join us for this recording!
More of us (my melanated brothers and sisters) are stepping into the business of selling premium and quality spirits (libations). I sat and spoke with DMV native and owner of E'Thal56 Vodka as she shared with me the history and story behind her premium brand.
Just in time for summer!

NeVetica is a trailblazer in the ever-growing pet industry, one of the fastest-growing industries in our economy, defined by an unstoppable trend that shows no sign of slowing down.
I sat with NeVetica's Vice Presidents and founding members, Andre and Michele Brown, as they talk about growing NeVetica, opportunities to join the company in sales, and how entrepreneurship has taken their family and lifestyle to another level.

I had the opportunity to sit with my cousin Dom Watters who was recently fired from his law enforcement position in Baltimore City. Instead of complaining and running the agency's name through the mud, D got creative and got to work!
Dom goes into how his setback was merely a setup for his entrepreneurial success.
I sat with 3 amazing women who just so happen to all be entrepreneurs in the Baltimore region with products and services that appeal to the sensual side of womanhood. StephanieRose, owner of SidneyRose Intimate Apparel, Tiffany Spooner-Banks, Model and Influencer, and Namia Vance, owner of Waist Beads by Reign.
Each lady talks about how they have come to define their own version of sexy, while also supporting each other's business as fellow entrepreneurs and friends.
This was recorded on Clubhouse and therefore we did have some technical difficulties. Feel free to FF (fast-forward) in certain sections but definitely do your best to listen to it all.
I had the opportunity to sit and chat with the always well-dressed Justin Shaw, owner of Shaw's Covenant Custom Clothier in Baltimore, MD.
In the middle of a pandemic, Justin took his business to the next level purchasing an amazing property to house his dream.
Justin tells us how he went from a college student at Bowie State University to follow his dreams and passion for fine custom clothing.
I sat with Felicia Covel Rami, the CEO of Xquisite Catering, perhaps Baltimore's largest black woman-owned catering business to discuss how she has grown her business from her kitchen to owning her own space and getting ready to open her first restaurant, The Crab Queen!
