š„¹ Wow! A life sized wax figure of Nipsey Hussle was unveiled Saturday at Invest Fest in Atlanta by a contestant competing in the $100K pitch competition. āMy business needs this $100K because our history matters. In the Black community representation matters, and what better way to show representation and honor but through memorializing legends who have paved the way…ā
The contestant, Sharmir ”Mr. Official” Oglesby, a former school teacher from Ohio, pitched the concept of šš§ šš-šš«š¢šÆšš§ š¢š¦š¦šš«š¬š¢šÆš šš®š„šš®š«šš„ šš±š”š¢šš¢šš¢šØš§ that includes the use of VR technology. The thunderous applause shook the room as he unveiled the realistic Neighborhood Nip wax figure to a panel of judges including The Marathonās Blacc Sam, Jorge Peniche, Adam Asghedom and EYLās co-founders and co-CEOs Rashad Bilal and Troy Millings.
āThese funds can create a world through which black culture and black history remains alive until the end of time. The cultural wax museum whether it be mobile, or a permanent location will be a one of a kind must see experience. Can you imagine an immersive and cultural relatable exhibition?ā
Although he didnāt win 1st place, Mr. Officials says heās grateful for the experience and was contacted by other investors immediately after leaving the stage.
