Fawn Weaver went from being a homeless teenager to being an author and serial entrepreneur who founded Uncle Nearest, the fastest growing American whiskey and bourbon in U.S history.  She holds the distinction of being the first non-celebrity Black American woman to spearhead the creation of a billion-dollar enterprise. Fawn shares her unique outlook on life and how she was able to take the story of Uncle Nearest, a slave distiller for Jack Daniel's, and turn it into a company that will seal Uncle Nearest's legacy.
