Ep 35: Moving FWD with Black Enterprise with Alfred Edmond JR TEASER

We are interconnected. Whether it is Black Enterprise Magazine, Ebony-Jet and Essence Communications Inc., or individually, our stories are linked. It’s why when Essence was purchased by Richelieu Dennis there was a collective shout of joy on social media and there was also a collective mourning when Johnson Publishing went out of business. This episode with my friend Alfred Edmond Jr. is personal... not simply because we’ve been friends for over a decade, and I’ve worked with the brand for most of my 25+ years in communications—- that I’ve stood to speak on their stages... that I’m a contributing writer and am now an official #businesscoach for BE FWD. Like many, Black Enterprise was on my parents’ coffee table when I was a child. Striving to be on its pages is one of the most culturally significant happenings in a black, middle class American’s life. Alfred and I talked about the emotional connections we have to our brands as black people, and the #blackexcellence and innovation that sprung from sheer necessity. It’s Thursday on The Culture Soup Podcast, and it is just in time for Black Enterprise FWD which happens next week #beintheqc #business You can still register and save using my code: FWD19LMS REGISTER: BlackEnterprise.com/FWD SUBSCRIBE: TheCultureSoup.com
