How Anna Deshawn Raised $70,000 in Crowdfunding Funds (Paid Subscribers)
I met Anna at the Afros and Audio conference held in Philadelphia in 2022. If you’re curious about the conference here’s a link to my review. Anna’s session was so impactful and all of us were shouting her out. She also saved me from making a ton, A TON of mistakes with a crowdfunding campaign that I was considering launching.
