Tiffany Haddish Spends Weekend in Miami Learning About Cryptocurrency
“We ‘bout to be RICH, bitch!” Says Tiffany Haddish, on stage wearing a celebrity boxing belt in Miami.
Tiffany Haddish spoke on a panel titled, “Closing the Wealth Gap” at Rodney Burton presents Reinvent Yourself with Crypto, a personal finance and cryptocurrency education conference targeted at minorities. The 3 day event was held at Loews Miami Beach with just over 550 attendees.
Tiffany Haddish is a comedian, actress, best-selling author known for her excellent comedic timing and jolly personality. Tiffany often shares about her upbringing which became harder than most when her mother succumbed to a tragic accident leaving her and her siblings in the foster care system.
Tiffany often talks about how comedy helped her navigate through life, feeling out of place like a unicorn.
Reinvent Yourself with Crypto brought out a similarly delightful but focused side of Tiffany Haddish as she spoke on stage with her business partner Richard Thompson about investments she’s made in the technology sector as well as other unconventional projects to grow her wealth.

Flourish Media is a woman-owned, black-owned multiple-million dollar marketing firm that prioritizes giving back. A portion of every piece of business closed by Flourish Media is donated to its 501c3 nonprofit Behind The Leaf.
Behind The Leaf host the Flourish Media Conference where women small business owners have the opportunity to meet funders and pitch their businesses in person like Shark Tank for funding. Before 2020 80% of businesses that pitched left this 2-Day conference with support from Tribe.
“Cryptocurrency makes 800 new millionaires every day.” Says Rodney Burton.
Many who are doing well in the cryptocurrency space are from nontraditional backgrounds like Tiffany Haddish. This new group of affluent entrepreneurs desires to give back by educating others and investing in people who look like them because they have a unique experience that can empathize with that community in ways that traditional investors do not.
Flourish Media staff and RYC attendees
Behind The Leaf created the Flourish Media Conference 6 years ago because at that time statistics showed only 3% of business funding went to minority women. That number has dropped dramatically after 2020. Some reports state only .05% of business funding is set to be released to women of color.
The Flourish Media Conference is not a patch competition but a matchmaking opportunity for women business owners with viable brands to build meaningful business relationships with other successful partners who want to support them on their journey.
“Women business owners are tired of incubators and educational programs from large companies. These women need personal relationships with people willing to cut the check.”
Founders Vivian Olodun and Dr. Tracy Timberlake raised $15M to invest in women business owners and the Flourish Media Conference is a 2-day matchmaking event for women business owners to build relationships with funders, banks, and alternative finance solutions to help their businesses flourish.
2022 is the 6th year Behind The Leaf, 501c3 hosts this event. While there is a high demand, attendance is limited. If you are interested in attending APPLY HERE. There is a $25 application fee that is donated to Behind The Leaf to cover the administrative cost.
