"Whatupdoe…Come and get your glizzies."

Diamond — that's her business name — had worked as a stripper in many 8 Mile clubs, with the stage name of, you guessed it, Diamond. But a 2010 car accident on the Lodge Freeway changed her life, and she started making her living by hustling in a different way.

After the accident left her with a broken foot, Diamond spent some time in Arizona, where she noticed that taco trucks and other food vendors were raking in the dough. “I could do this in Detroit,” she thought.
