The Entertainment Industry–where are the sisters?!?
This video below is extra hot. Thanks to All Tayo for the link.
On an unrelated note, check out The Shawn Mason Spence show where the topic of the day is black women in the entertainment industry.
We know of the men, but where are the deal-making, business-moving women in the industry? Founder of the National Association of Black Female Executives in Music and Entertainment, Johnnie Walker (JW), will share her journey, her success secrets, along with Kristian Buchanan, Publicist and Sheila Jenkins, Event Promotions. Whether you’re interested in music and entertainment or not, you’ll be happy to know that “sistahs are doing it for themselves.”

This is funny as… Saw it the other day & watched it like 4 times cracking up each time.

Spence, there are plenty of black women in the entertainment industry. Most are attorneys, some are record and TV executives, and quite a few are artist managers. I would venture to guess that these days, black women collectively wield more power in the entertainment industry than they wield in any other industry.
Of course, this is with the caveat that black folks on balance and as a whole have relative little decision making power within the industry.

Thanks for the link. I figure you likely know at least one of the sisters my wife interviewed for her show–Johnnie Walker.

Hey Lester.
Had a ball watching that video. Definitely helped to get me over the midday hump with a smile on.

That video ain’t no joke. I wanted to give a shout out to my wife’s show…I should’ve split the post and called this part “This is Hop Hop pt. 2″.
