I remember my radio days my ambition was to be a DJ and on air personality (shocking I know). Doing remotes and being in the club I changed that over to owning a night club... Which I achieved at a early age due to my uncle having the exact same vision of what he wanted at the time. Don't get me wrong I loved having my very own club even with it being in E. St. Louis... I have some truly awesome memories from it. I loved being the place that everyone wanted to be on the weekend. Until my uncle got greedy and let the wrong promoters in the building. Which was my sign and que to leave. With my knowledge and almost 10 years, yeah I said 10 YEARS of experience in the "entertainment" realm I believe I can be VERY successful and phenomenal club owner...
Then came being a Lifestyle Columnist and Critic for Delux Magazine. Which I loved and earned from writing this blog I might add. But that was short lived.
I paused my life to be a better mother to my children having a hard time managing my businesses as well as being a mother, I can admitt this. But now its time to move forward both of my boys are of school age now and have family that love them enough to help take care.
So... What is my next move?
I AM GOING BACK TO SCHOOL!!!!!!
Yep thats right here I come late nights and early mornings and I don't mean the Marsha Ambrosius version either... The Lord gave me the experience now its time to get the book intelligence together. Appropriate and proper procedures and protocals of business... Some feel that this is something I don't need because I may know whats in the books but in the end.... Yeah I do.
I recently lost a friend who lost his battle with a teminal illness. He never let that illness slow him down nor stop him from doing what he wanted. People didn't even know he was sick. Heck I didn't even know he was sick. He achieved almost all of his goals in his 31 years and smiled through his pain. He was ambitious and didn't use his illness as a crutch. Those that respected him or loved him, love and respected him even more after finding out he survived all of these years. He touched so many lives and left an awesome legacy. R.I.P Reshod
In a celebrity interview for Delux I asked a gentleman "what do you want to be remembered for"... He didn't say anything about his accomplishments, the celebrities he has worked with, or the amount of money he made. He told me he wants those to know that he was a good man and he was a man of his word. "Your word can go a long way, only if you back it up with action. As a boy my grandfather told me as a man all you have is your word." Those words struck a cord with me. Because my stepfather told me the same thing.
So thank you Chingy, Reshod, and Corey Shapiro for being my motivators I geniunely appreciate it...
Watch me work
