In business, regardless of a niche market or industry, branding could mean the difference between failure and success. When you combine the skills necessary to make a difference in today’s anxious, busy, and hectic society through social channels it gets even more difficult to navigate because everything is changing so fast.

To be in the know, you’ve got to surround yourself with folks who not only know what they are talking about but also know “how” to do what they are talking about and want nothing more than to share that with you. This week in the HOT-Seat is no different than any other, but one you don’t want to miss.

This week in the HOT-Seat is a Media Mogul who climbed up there all by herself! She’s an award-winning writer/producer skilled in social media branding, television, and movie production. It’s hard getting into a room with this one; But here’s your chance to dine at the table. Don’t miss this great opportunity, and PLEASE don’t keep it to yourself. Share with ALL your family, fans, and followers.

  1. Enduring The Call: A 14-Day Encounter, by Jocelyn Fagan ($14.00)
  2. The ZOLA Experience: A Journey of Recovery From Loss, by Katurah A Bryant, LMFT ($14.99)

You may not know this, but branding is a marketing practice that includes colors, fonts and can get really deep like language. For Example, at the Urban Academics. Weekly Roundtable, we refer to eating and food because we are “branding” the notion that food is not only physical but much the same it’s education, emotional, spiritual, and probably good for more than that. Your brand should represent you and the customers you seek to serve. Don’t miss this segment if you need to get in front of a qualified professional to ask questions at no cost to you!

One this that’s true about COVID-19, the 2020 Presidential Election, and the 2021 Inaugural address, swearing-in President Joe Biden, Jr. and Kamala Harris.

Every item purchased comes with instructions; even your t-shirts have tags with washing instructions included. Suppose our children aren’t reading by a certain age. In that case, many things go into play, including but not limited to low expectations, math restrictions, and not being able to read laundry labels. Frustration can set in when children are not successful in school. It may seem trivial, but it’s happening everyday within our inner-city schools.

It’s a good thing some urban professionals understood their calling and purpose early enough to position themselves as change agents. This week’s Chosen Visionary is an educational leader, activist, and advocate who has been developing young people for years. The communities of Bridgeport and New Haven, CT, are incredibly proud to have him, and the work he’s doing helps struggling students tremendously.

Girls in Pearls worldwide are celebrating and honoring the light of Lady Kamala Harris who takes her place in history today as the first African American (Black) Woman and the United States Vice President. A moment in history this bright contains within it the power to transcend a generation of folks who feel left behind and all alone.

Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are front and center for the 2021 Presidential Inauguration.  One might say they are no strangers to the Whitehouse nor to inaugurations – They’ve both been on politics so long, they’ve been to their share of prestigious events rubbing elbows as high up as you can get.  It hits different when you are at the very tip of the top, and your day has come much more than you could have ever asked or thought.

We lost co-workers, family members, and friends. Many people had to leave (the world) over two million people have already died within the last 10-months due to COVID-19.

In the way you and I are familiar with, public relations has changed significantly over the years, and that’s good news for anyone looking to score press and publicity, including you and me. It’s easier now than ever to reach out directly to folks in any industry (niche) you are interested in. Social media platforms like Linked In are priceless for freelancers and professionals. Facebook and Instagram are social in nature, but if you’re looking for more business leads, I recommend Linked-In.

With the changes in public relations, which is new, we all look forward to every day, sometimes every minute, depending on who we are. With millions of mom and pop publishers closing their doors, this HOT-Seat Chosen Visionary managed to stay afloat amidst turbulent and unforeseen times.
