Ask The Men-Update!



The Black Women In Business Brainstorm had an amazing event this past weekend.

Our Panel consisted of:

Hajj E. Flemings, Tech MBA Online/Founder of Brand Camp University/Personal Branding Strategist And Author of The Brand Yu Life;
David R. McGhee, Board of Trustees, Secretary at Flint Public Library
Program Coordinator at Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Flint, Creator & Founder of The 16th Letter Consulting.
Hubert Sawyers III, Digital Communications Consultant / Principal at SorSaw Enterprises, LLC , Co-Founder at iDetroit and Creator of #Tweetea

We were able to be inspired by the challenges, personal stories and creativity of these thought leaders to help us to navigate our own journey as professionals. The men were both gracious and motivational. The consistent theme was was that obstacles can become opportunities and that your next level in leadership could be right in front of you. What opportunity are you looking to gain? Do you need a shot of inspiration? Our next event is our awards dinner tonight at 6 p.m. at Bonefish Grill. We will be honoring our winners, connecting and having a wonderful meal. If you are free we would love to break bread with you! Register at http://www.blackwomeninbiz.net/ using the paypal buttons.
