I must take a moment to acknowledge the many kind greetings upon my return to Atlanta and the many well wishes as I departed Austin. I heard this morning at All Saint’s Episcopal in Atlanta this excerpt from a pulpit prayer: “Disturb us, Lord, when our dreams come true because we dream too lowly.” Think about that.

Let’s be real… I was raised in the suburbs of Atlanta, Georgia and I had a privileged upbringing. Right after that trip, I decided I was going to leave Atlanta and explore a new city. Then the next day, she’d be taking a new direction, and the conversation would lack productivity. I was 24 at the time.

The reason VC or Angel-backed startups in Houston, San Antonio, Dallas, Atlanta, Miami, New Orleans, Phoenix, Salt Lake City, and similar cities often hire startup lawyers who aren’t local is that they (correctly) recognize that their local ecosystems (generally) lack the density to support truly specialized, scalable startup/vc law practices.

There’s a dialect and lexicon in African American households that many people are unfamiliar with, so when these words creep out of your mouth during professional conversations and pitches, your intelligence is often being unfairly downgraded – it sadly is! I know people who are very smart, but still sometimes say, “that’s mines”.
