Can the world get any smaller? Meet DeQuan Jones. As always, my first question. Where do you live? Where did you grow up? What nationality are you? (I was raised in Piedmont and is the same small town where we raised our children. Not so very interesting. And I'm 💯 percent Sicilian, for the most part.) Always interested in the personal story of each person I meet. I find everyone's journey fascinating. From those 3 questions a conversation can lead anywhere. When DeQuan said he was from Atlanta I asked if he knew Erica. No last name needed. Like Madonna or Sting, or Debbi (just kidding). Not only did he know her, she is his publicist. And, I, her mentor. So we snapped this photo and sent it off to the amazing and talented Erica Dias. DeQuan is not only a professional basketball player with a kind heart, he also has a foundation. The JetJones Foundation was created to inspire youth to take flight towards a brighter future. . . . #cocktailsandconversation #peelbacktheonion #likemindedpeople #charity #gratitude #payitforward #givingback #mentor #mentee #philanthropy #foundation #birthdayweekend #lasvegas #LasVegasIsForever #29again #cocktailsandconversation #DeQuanJones #jetjonesfoundation #connectingpeople #networkforgood #socialize4acause #ericadias #tableof20 #forgreatergood #wynnlasvegas #towersuiteswynn (at Wynn Las Vegas)
