In an interview with Variety Ebonie shared that she is used to being the only woman in the room. This was the case long before she gained prominence as the manager to hip-hop stars Future, Gunna and Flo Milli.
Ward got her start in the business running her own men’s clothing boutique, Fly Kix ATL, which catered to local rap stars in Atlanta. From there, Ward used her connections in the high-end retail space to segue into music, joining Anthony Saleh’s Emagen Entertainment Group, longtime management home to Future, and working her way up to become the artist’s primary representative. It would be immensely difficult to gloss over
Ward in a conference room today. Moving forward, she hopes to bring more women into the management side of entertainment.
“I just want to continue to be a good example for other young women to follow,” Ward says, “while also helping to uplift and build people in the business.”
Congratulations queen! We love to see it!
