Division of Minority and Women Business Entrepreneurship Industry

Division of Minority and Women Business Entrepreneurship Industry:  GREAT READ!!  

 Authoress Anna Black

Chicago Native Anna Black.  Not only is she an authoress, lets just say she is a woman of power through her life and through the eyes people that she has come across.  Can we say Minority and Women Business? She is heavily involved!

Anna Black is an INSPIRATION!! I have had the opportunity to work with Mrs. Black in the past.  I highly encourage everyone to check out this Authoress. 

An inspiration and educator to the society with her novels, she writes about the daily lives and experiences of normal people like us.  Anna black delivers an awesome storyline that has captured many people.  The characters in her novels are not just names, they are people and life is given in aspect that the reader cannot put the book down. 

I am writing about Mrs. Black because she is one of my mentors.  Today I had the opportunity to meet President & CEO DeLisa Espada of Strategic Business Solutions Ultd. Inc.  I picked Authoress Anna Black because she similarly started out her business out of her home and kept writing and writing.  When Mrs. Espada mentioned to me that she also started her business from the house and from they’re branched out and became what they are now and creating business synergy. I thought about my sister and long time friend of Authoress Anna Black.  I thought to myself that there is a wide range of entertainment besides me trying to open my business and or club or even getting into club management made me really think about I can do it SUCCESSFULLY.  Not only are these women making and paving waves for the rest of us and they are making history.  I thought to myself, if and when I grow up I want to be like these women; my name isn’t “LegaZy” for a nothing. 

I didn’t know about certain resources until I spoke to Ms. Espada.  In my eyes her business promotes equality of economic opportunities for minority and women owned businesses.  So please be on the look out for my establishment to open so that I may be of help to any venues that any authors, actors, comedians and artist in in the industry.

Authoress Anna Black is just one of the examples I used for this particular businesses that is booming before our eyes.  Let’s not forget about “Knowledge is Power”, but without reading knowledge might not be as powerful.

Below are the Novels by Authoress Anna Black.  Check out the trailers.

Hip Hop, R&B and Rap Artists

Hip Hop, R&B and Rap Artists

I was Just going through YouTube and looking for the best thing to blog about.  So I decided to reminisce the love I had for music.  Yesterday’s music is gone and the craft has gone real deep with materialistic things and is all about “money, cars and *oe’s and this is what I call garbage.  I am not trying to be negative or defame anyone’s character at all, but what are we teaching our future?  Simplicity and easy listening is fading away.  I hear and read about fights against and between label and artists.  It is so ridiculous how the industry has become.  Oh and how about videos and lyrical content in music now a days.  Artist coming from different angles led alone some things they rap and sing about gets perceived differently to some.

Not all of us understand Hip Hop, R&B and Rap artist's and their language.  As we all know Hip Hop, R&B and Rap had been around for a little more than 20 years. What ever happened to musical expressions through dancing “Break Dancing”?  How about Poetry?  Okay, so I am still doing my own personal research and I am not saying all new music is bad, I feel that most of the lyrical contents are not as they used to be.  What about all the “Rivalries” and “Disses”? Not only is has gotten personal but now its televised and or shout out to the media in many viral ways. 

Remember VH1 and MTV when Hip Hop, R&B and Rap started to get audience worldwide?  Let’s not forget new media technologies that embrace our daily lives today for example Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn.  Who remembers MySpace and when Hotmail was in?  As a proud parent of two little women, I always monitor what they listen to.  Today’s radio has been open to more new words that I can even collect in my own personal registry of a dictionary.  I do believe in the hunger that anyone has for the music industry.  

I for one am a 70’s baby, so I have been through changes when it comes to music and what it was in yesteryears and what it is now.  This really shows my age, but I am a proud ambassador of positive attitude will reflect today’s youth.  It is real hard for me to write about these changes because change can be good and then again it can go sour for anyone in this industry to include myself.  As a model, promoter and future manager for independent artists, I could get stuck between a rock and a hard place because of how I feel about lyrical content and perception with lasting impression of current and incumbent artists. 

When I asked my 12 year old daughter what were her thoughts about the music that she hears today, her reply was "Well mommy they play a lot of bad things on the radio and they curse too much" I was at a wow when she said that.  Then my 14 year old mentioned they don't talk about much but "smoking weed and flashy cars, so what happens with the real lyrics mommy?  I couldn't answer her.  That right there is real BAD when a child expresses their feelings about grown up music on radio and television.  Like I said before "Positive Attitude Reflects Today's Youth"  Attitude meaning everything that you are about and walking that fine straight line with everything in life, not have to be perfect but setting that example and being that great role model for our future.

 As I review several articles about the change in Hip Hop, R&B and Rap, I particularly like the one on Disco Music.  It talks about Hip Hop- Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow.  Hip Hop - Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow
