    Is “Work” a 4 Letter Word in Your House?

    Over the years, I watched my mom go from a Jewel Osco cashier, to Bank Teller, to a home Loan Officer. At the end of her life she was making more than 90k. If it wasn’t for that damn colon cancer, I’m sure she would have clocked that 6 figures before 40. That’s pretty damn good for a single mom of three with no college degree. Hands down my mother was the ultimate hustler. Honestly, many of the single mothers I know are driven on a level of purpose regular folks will never un

    He Shoots and Does Not Miss

    We have had the privilege of interviewing James Anthony , a very talented photographer, a few years back.  He is still making strides in the photography business.  He currently resides in New York and we have noticed he has some behind the scenes footage from a shoot with one of our favorites, Rotimi. Can’t wait to see what he has in store next. A behind the scenes look with @rotimimusic Video | @bryonsummers Styling | @kingtroi #JamesShotme #mixtape #Rotimi #Power #Starz

    I Am My Sisters’ Keeper

    What do you think of when you hear the phrase “I am my sisters’ keeper”?  A bond between two sisters is stronger than one can imagine.  Your experiences that you may have shared growing up tend to carry on into adulthood. In business, one must keep this phrase in mind.  Many women give accounts where they fight harder for higher positions than men.  Is this true?  Maybe not in every case but there is a bit of truth there.  Some jobs in the past have been male driven for so lo

    Q and A: Elbonie Metcalfe on Her Brand and Learning to Love Naturally

    It began as a thought. Elbonie Metcalfe and her brother Elton Metcalfe collaborated to try and start Love Naturally, a brand about expressing style and love with t-shirts and jewelry. The line is earthly and classic with various metals, beads and t-shirt styles that are sold through her website. Elbonie found that whenever she blogged, the phrase “love naturally” appeared but she never really thought about what the words meant. Then in 2013 her brother passed away in a motorc

    It’s Time To Wake Up America

    Look at Ferguson. Look at NYC. Look at Florida. Look at Cleveland. Look all around. Now, look in the mirror. What do you see? What type of person is looking back at you? Is it a person who cares, or a person who doesn’t give a damn? What part do you play in educating our society and unifying our communities? Let’s understand something — different people react differently to the same situation. That is a fact of life. We each respond to people, situations, and events, based on

    ENVIRONMENTAL SUCCESS: “He who walks with the wise grows wise, but a companion of fools suffers harm

    tips by David Turner Our success in life can be hindered or enhanced by the people and situations that we allow in our lives. We must learn to choose our friends wisely. We must also recognize certain conditions that can affect us negatively or, in some cases, benefit us. We can often have friends or relatives that speak words into our lives that are not God’s best. These people also can provide us with examples of how NOT to live our lives. It is very difficult to spend time

With a record of 46 wins and 26 knockouts it appears that it’s still not enough to prove his excellence. The public is stil
