The Unseen Stories Behind the Hustle: A Detroit Legacy

Thinking about my buddy, I can’t help but reflect on the plans we made before she up and died on me. She was the one who convinced me to return to Detroit, restart the company, and take another shot at success in a city that had shaped both of us. I agreed—not because I wanted her managing the business alone, but because I didn’t want her to work so hard. But truth be told, hard work was the only way we knew how to live. People often think they know your story, but they don’t see the battle scars, the journeys we navigated in the heart of Detroit.

We wore hats of many firsts here. From San Francisco to New York, we have built a legacy for over 20 years, working with over 50 Fortune 500 brands and managing their marketing, advertising, and public relations. Promotions Unlimited, born in Chicago, found its soul in Detroit from 1988 to 2012. Those were years of relentless hustle, marked by moments of soaring triumph and crushing defeat. The dot-com bubble burst, flattening our investment portfolio overnight, and then 9/11 struck, sending shockwaves through every facet of our lives. At the time, I was in the middle of a move to New York City, gearing up for what I thought would be a new chapter.

But 2008 delivered another blow: our biggest client filed for bankruptcy. We were thrown into the dark days of the Bush administration, from 2001 to 2009, when the economy took a beating and our dreams with it. Yet, through every storm, we fought. Our journey was more than just business—it was survival, a testament to resilience in adversity.

It’s time to tell the story of two women who dared to dream big in a world that constantly tested our limits. Detroit was more than just our battleground; it was where we learned to survive, thrive, and rewrite our destiny against all odds. The scars are real, but so is the legacy we carved out of sweat, tears, and an unyielding belief in each other. (Release date 2025)

Lawyers should never ask a Georgia grandma a question if they aren't prepared for the answer.

In a trial, a Southern small-town prosecuting attorney called his first witness, a grandmotherly, elderly woman to the stand. He approached her and asked, 'Mrs. Jones, do you know me?' She responded, 'Why, yes, I do know you, Mr. Williams. I've known you since you were a boy, and frankly, you've been a big disappointment to me. You lie, you cheat on your wife, and you manipulate people and talk about them behind their backs. You think you're a big shot when you haven't the brains to realize you'll never amount to anything more than a two-bit paper pusher. Yes, I know you.'

The lawyer was stunned. Not knowing what else to do, he pointed across the room and asked, 'Mrs. Jones, do you know the defense attorney?'

She again replied, 'Why yes, I do. I've known Mr. Bradley since he was a youngster, too. He's lazy, bigoted, and he has a drinking problem. He can't build a normal relationship with anyone, and his law practice is one of the worst in the entire state. Not to mention he cheated on his wife with three different women. One of them was your wife. Yes, I know him.'

The defense attorney nearly died.

The judge asked both counselors to approach the bench and, in a very quiet voice, said,

'If either of you idiots asks her if she knows me, I'll send you both to the electric chair...!
