Ah, thanks for this. I didn't know he'd sold his company. That's all I was really asking - whether he planned to do it on his own or was going to call on some help from other rich folks.
Maybe I'm a cynic, but sometimes it takes someone with some name recognition to get a lot of people on board to support a cause. Joyner has a much higher profile than Johnetta Cole when she managed to steer Spelman to one of the most successful (and largest) endowment campaigns in the school's history -- including all that Oprah money. If Dr. Cole managed to do that and she wasn't really a household name, I can only imagine what might happen at MoBrown with Joyner's help. I really hope he's successful, because MoBrown gives hope to a lot of students who would otherwise never go to college.
