· medium confidence. Wikipedia's company page and her own page both give 1995 for the launch of Flavor Unit Records, later Flavor Unit Entertainment; the blkscript network profile (network.blkscript.com/?p=15381) says 'mid-1990s' in its text but lists 1989 in its header, and the company's own site (flavorunit.com) is not live, so the exact year is not settled. The earlier 1991 in this profile is not supported by any opened source. Current status rests on her Wikipedia page describing a 2021 Flavor Unit first-look deal with Audible; no source opened states her present title.
