Annetta Budhu
As a young girl growing up in British Guyana, Annetta Budhu always knew she “liked girls,” but it wasn’t until she came to New York that she was able to be herself: “I am very thankful for all the gays and lesbians of the Stonewall generation who laid the groundwork for me to live a very free and happy life here in the West Village.” After cutting her teeth on the trading floors of Wall Street, Budhu decided to follow her entrepreneurial spirit and make her own mark on the financial world. She became President of Stock News Now and co-founded Global Desktop, which eventually led her to open her own financial consulting firm. Her latest venture is the creation of RF Lounge, which will serve the gay and lesbian community by providing a venue for local talents to showcase their creativity, as well as a place to relax, unwind and enjoy a cocktail after work. -KD
