This experience was great and working with All American Entertainment was not only easy but effective. They were very responsive to emails and calls and thorough with any questions our office had. Wesley was a fantastic speaker and our community really enjoyed him. We engaged in conversation with him surrounding cultural criticism and other topics and his knowledge on these topics was undeniable. Overall, it was a great experience and I would recommend working with all three parties to any of my colleagues.
