Angel says as the founder of Emini Ent. it is a self-funded organisation. Her crew and she are paid by the companies and restaurants that hire them, but they also make money from open market sessions, as well as from the profits they earn from the shows.
Angel says that Coronavirus has affected Emini Ent in a big way, especially considering they are an open market business. Due to the limits imposed by covid-19, Emini Ent. was forced to put its operations on hold, causing artists and the company to struggle in the sector.
However, as these constraints and levels increased, Angel decided to start Emini's inaugural session so that these artists would have a chance to express themselves and get their work out there.
Angel explained that she prefers to refer to it as a session rather than a performance because she wants everyone to feel at ease without the tension of entertainment hanging in the air.
"Sessions give the environment a more surreal and calm atmosphere and Emini being the brand name. Not only does the word relax performers and calm their nerves but the audience as well," she further explained.
When asked what advice she would give to individuals who desire to follow in her footsteps, she stated she would tell them to stick it out, to keep going no matter what, and to never give up. To keep going till they have what they require in life.
