What is your Why? Knowing your Why is most important when you’re planning your creative vision for your show, blog, paper, etc. A lot of us “creative’s” have a natural passion to create content, be it, a TV Show, podcast, radio show, newspapers, blog, vlog, magazine, or YouTube content. We launch our vision because we love it. As the saying goes “Do what you‘ll love and you‘ll never work another day in your life.” It’s a well-meaning sentiment but if you’re not employed by a media outlet, how does your independent content generate income?
As a MediaPreneur for over 20 years, knowing my why has revolutionized my business and life by giving me purpose, energy, and attracts the right kinds of people.
So what is my why? I birthed The Indy Black Media Network because I saw so many creatives working hard on their shows, blogs, and media platforms but struggled to monetize it.
My goal is to provide mentoring and education offering guidance to our members and assisting them on how to turn their passion into a profitable business. When I began my career in media I was mentored by Dorothy E. Brunson, the first African American woman to own a TV and Radio Station. To keep the memories of her contributions alive I’m paying it forward.
As an Indy Media Producer, I remember being overlooked for interviews with A-list celebrities because it wasn’t on a Mainstream Platform. Our goal is to foster relationships that help us use our collective power to gain high power celebrity and national interviews.
I’m so happy you’ve joined us. Welcome to Indy Black Media Network!
