THE PUBLISHER’S PERSPECTIVE FIRST CLASS DREAMS REALLY DO COME TRUE… Twenty years ago, I had the honor and privilege of meeting Mr. Earl G. Graves, Sr. He is an American entrepreneur, businessman, philanthropist, family man, and an advocate of African-American business growth, longevity and prosperity. He is a graduate of Morgan State University, and yes, he is founder of the legendary Black Enterprise Magazine and chairman of the media company Earl G. Graves, Ltd. I learned everything I know about the life cycle of starting and producing magazines from the fruits of his labor, as an Editorial intern during the summer of 2000. Walking through the doors of Black Enterprise Magazine for the first time was a “first class” dream come true and an experience that I will cherish forever. With every encounter I made with him, I was encouraged to use my natural born gifts to encourage other people to do greater things. I didn’t know that I wanted to create, edit and publish magazines until I walked through those doors. All I could think was, “Wow, I could have all this one day?” Mr. Graves and his staff only chose 6 interns out of 600 applicants that year, so I was really surprised and honored to be chosen. And, I made sure to show my appreciation by going above and beyond the call of duty to complete my assignments. This man ran a tight ship in his offices and it showed through every single issue of Black Enterprise presented to the world. I could probably write a book about all the lessons learned that summer. Yet, the biggest thing I learned was the power of networking with people and businesses of like mind and vision. If you aspire to be great, impact the world with your vision, talent and ideas, you must position yourself to collaborate and exchange ideas with people who seek to do things in excellence. With that said, I hope to see you at our next Christian Women in Business Expo & Brunch weekend. Stay tuned for more information @ wifey101prayerbrunch. eventbrite.com. Hope to see you there! Excited to serve, Tanisha Hopson Shaw Publisher/Editor-in-Chief Walk in His Peace!
