07. Finding The Sweet Spot with LaToya Stirrup

December 28, 2020 • Corey and Sharma Graham • Season 2

"Legacy building is a huge part of who I am. It is something that has been with me since I was a little girl because of my family and the roots that we have in Miami. My great grandparents were pioneers in Coconut Grove in the 1800s. They were building homes and negotiating with white millionaires in what we know were segregated times. My grandfather was able to create a real estate company and a general store. His legacy fuels me. I have no excuse not to show up." - LaToya Stirrup
