Rapper Yo Gotti ‘Standing On Business’ At UCLA’s Anderson School Of Management
Yo Gotti has officially enrolled in a business course at UCLA, as the Memphis rapper has begun his studies following his tour.
Yo Gotti is going from stages to schoolwork. The Memphis rapper has enrolled in a business course at the Anderson School of Management at UCLA.
The 42-year-old emcee, who is in a relationship with fellow rapper-entrepreneur Rev. Run’s daughter, Angela Simmons, posted a picture of himself on the Los Angeles campus to his Instagram.
“Still learning…,” captioned the hip-hop artist, whose real name is Mario Sentell Giden Mims.
The course, “Corporate Valuation” will teach students about the various aspects of business, including IPOs, mergers and acquisitions, and private firms for investments. According to the class description, students will meet weekly in the three-hour lecture to ” explore how real options affect investment decisions and how they can be identified and valued.” With Yo Gotti bringing his real-life business experiences and knowledge to the classroom, students will get a post-graduate-level course as he immerses himself in it with attendees. The entertainer-turned-entrepreneur is well-versed not only in the studio but also in the industry’s business side, discovering early on in his career the importance of understanding contracts.
Yo Gotti not only owns his own record label, Collective Music Group (CMG), but he also co-owns D.C. United, a soccer club based in the nation’s capital. His endeavors also expanded to the food industry and real estate. He is also known for his money moves, making headlines in August about staying away from private flying, instead flying first-class to save the extra cash.
However, despite this pursuit of expanding his entrepreneurial success, Yo Gotti is still giving the music to his fans. The rapper just finished his Gangsta Art Tour with fellow Memphis rappers such as GloRilla and MoneyBagg Yo, just in time to begin his studies. With this new accomplishment underway, the record executive is bringing his street smarts to the university as he begins learning in the traditional form.
Utah School District’s 2021 Settlement With DOJ Finally Revealed: Addresses Shocking Racial Discrimination And Harassment
The DOJ found instances where Black students in the Davis School District were referred to as 'apes' and the 'n-word.'
Davis School District gave a summary of its 2021 settlement with the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) following evidence of “widespread racial discrimination and harassment” of Black students that was brought to public attention in October 2021.
Fox 13 reported that a summary of the settlement called for the enforcement of anti-harassment and anti-discrimination and proper training for education professionals after the DOJ found instances where Black students in the Davis School District were referred to as racial slurs like “apes” and the “n-word.”
The settlement agreed upon the creation of an office to process reports of harassment and discrimination, according to Fox 13.
“Some of the findings in the letter include pervasive use of the n-word and other racial epithets, Black students being called apes or being told their skin was dirty or looked like feces,” explained Heidi Alder, the legal consultant for the District. “The DOJ also determined that the district had not trained administrators and teachers properly on how to identify and respond to incidents of harassment.”
The settlement also provided that anti-harassment and anti-discrimination notices would be distributed to parents, students, and staff. Assistant Superintendent Fidel Montero said educating the District’s community members was a priority.
“We want to make sure that first and foremost that we’re educating them, and then to the children who experience harassment, any type of harassment, not just racial, we want to make sure we support them,” Montero told Fox 13.
Training, professional development, and other resources were other agreed-upon components in the settlement between the school district and the DOJ. Utah State Rep. Kera Birkeland stressed the importance of government officials handling racially motivated discrimination and harassment properly.
“My concern is when we don’t handle things like this well, it backfires. People, the divide becomes stronger,” Birkeland said. “The issue of ‘you don’t say things like that, they’re totally racially inappropriate’ go[es] out the window because now parents and kids are upset by the process instead of being able to be focused on what really needs to be focused on, which is completely inappropriate remarks.”
Finally, the settlement resulted in an agreement to create a system to report and respond to harassment complaints. Utah State Rep. Brady Brammer said, “What other things are weighed in favor of protecting the school district’s or the school’s actions or justifying them or not addressing the problems versus the parental and student rights?”
He added, “The vertical of the schools and the enforcement of problems within the schools is a major problem in the state right now.”
Deion Sanders’ Top Recruiter Nick Williams Leaving Colorado For Syracuse
University of Colorado defensive line coach Nick Williams is leaving to coach defensive ends at Syracuse University.
University of Colorado defensive line coach Nick Williams is leaving the program to take a job at Syracuse University.
Sports Illustrated‘s BuffsBeat reports Williams announced he was leaving Colorado on social media, writing “Blessed,” along with a picture of himself and the Syracuse S logo on a graphic that read “Defensive Ends,” suggesting that is the position he will coach for the Orange.
Williams, who spent one year in Colorado with Sanders after leaving Texas A&M, was considered one of Colorado’s strongest recruiters. Before coaching at Texas A&M, Williams spent three seasons at the University of Georgia as a student and graduate assistant from 2018 to 2020, helping the Bulldogs to the No. 1 ranked recruiting classes in both 2018 and 2020.
For Sanders, this is another departure from his program since its 4-8 season ended. Nine players on the Buffaloes’ roster this season have hit the transfer portal. In addition to Williams, offensive line coach Bill O’Boyle, tight ends coach Tim Brewster, and former offensive coordinator Sean Lewis are also leaving.
Colorado’s season started with plenty of fanfare as the Buffaloes defeated TCU and in-state rival Colorado State in front of celebrity-laden crowds. However, once they got into Pac-12 play, Colorado struggled on offense and defense. Star quarterback Shedeur Sanders was sacked an alarming 52 times during the season.
“I am happy for Sean Lewis. I am happy for whomever he took with him. I am happy that he’s elevated,” Sanders said, according to SI. “Sean is a good guy. I have no quarrels with Coach Lewis. Coach Lewis did a phenomenal job in the time he was able to do his job. I am happy for him. I am happy for Nick [Williams] going to Louisville and prospering. I am happy for Brewster [Tim Brewster]. I’m happy for these guys.”
7 Outdated Public Relations Tactics You Should Avoid
Ready to spread the news about your business? Here are 5 public relations tactics that will kill your chances at getting exposure for your brand or business.
Originally Published Oct. 7, 2018
I hate to be the one to tell you this, but if you’re still relying on traditional public relations tactics like press release distribution, it may be time to fire yourself or your PR agency. Thanks to digital technology, the landscape has changed, audience behavior has shifted, and the tactics have evolved. Are you prepared?
7 Big Public Relations Mistakes:
Not Going Beyond the Press Release
Mass e-mailing your press release in hopes that it will be covered by hundreds of media outlets, just won’t cut it anymore. Many times, you’ll reach a journalist who doesn’t cover news related to your topic. Also, people are overwhelmed by email so personalizing your writing and being concise and to the point is key. Lastly, most journalists can tell when it’s a mass email because the subject line is spammy or vague (e.g., great story idea, media alert, or press release). In turn, your email gets ignored.
Craft your pitch for the media outlet’s target audience and address the journalist by name in the email. Think about it this way, how does your company announcement, product, service, or event add value to their specific audience? To increase the chances of an editor opening your email, write a compelling headline for the email subject line.
Relying Solely on Traditional Publicity Strategies
Traditional publicity such as television, radio interviews, newspaper/magazine articles, or ads only captures an audience’s attention for a short period of time. What’s next? How can you keep the momentum going? Considering about 67% of American adults rely on social media platforms such as Facebook and X (formerly Twitter) for news, you need to create at least a one-page electronic media kit and a 280-character story to get your story out there on your own social channels. Plus, consider other tactics like going Live on Facebook or Instagram and integrating storytelling to amplify your message and build on the buzz.
Not Rethinking Your Marketing Materials
Press kits are dying. Enter the world of electronic press kits (EPK). But take note, an EPK is more than saving a document as a pdf. Your electronic press kit is a one-stop-shop for downloadable images (e.g., logos, high-resolution product shots, headshots), links to past media coverage, videos, and any other background marketing materials a journalist might need when writing a story. Ultimately, you want the journalists to read your email pitch and entice them to click the link to your EPK to learn more. To create an EPK you can either create a shared folder in Dropbox or create an online newsroom on your website.
Not Focusing on Storytelling
Storytelling is a highly effective PR tactic that many publicists or business owners often overlook. Beyond helping you build connections with your customers, storytelling can put you on the radar of national media outlets, influencers, and bloggers. But remember, just because it’s news for your company, doesn’t mean it’s news for the media. Pitch a story, not a topic, product, or service. Aim for at least three story angles and instead of relying on press releases, pitch the following:
Address industry trends, challenges, or answer common questions related to your product, service, or event.
Create a user-generated campaign where you ask followers to share videos or images of them using your product or sharing positive brand experiences. Create a custom hashtag for your campaign so you can keep track of their stories share on your own social channels.
Create short stories about real-life examples of customers who used your product or service. These stories should spotlight before and after results.
Don’t just tell what you do, explain how you do it. For instance, if you’re a chef, you can record a 1-minute video on how to prepare a variety of ingredients for one of your favorite recipes.
Thinking Only about Big Coverage
While many people dream about getting coverage on major TV news outlets like Good Morning America, don’t ignore smaller publications, podcasts, or blogs. Sometimes articles on blogs or even YouTube shows can help you attract a journalist and national media outlets.
Not Building Relationships Outside of Those with Journalists
Although building relationships with journalists has always been at the forefront of PR, bloggers often have just as much authority, reach, and influence as traditional media figures.
Not Using Analytics
To understand your audience, determine where they hang out, and how to build relationships with them, Public relations professionals should rely on data and analytics (e.g., social media analytics) to drive their strategy. When you make data-driven PR decisions you can also predict audience interest, news cycle trends, and determine what type of stories work best on different platforms.
Teen Suspect To Be Charged As Adult For Allegedly Carjacking FBI Agent
In Washington, D.C., a 17-year-old suspect has been arrested for carjacking an FBI agent.
As carjackings rise in Washington, D.C, 17-year-old Devonte Lynch, who is accused of carjacking an FBI agent with an accomplice, will be tried as an adult, DC News Now reports.
The incident happened Nov. 29 around 3:45 pm, according to a statement from the victim. The woman said she was held at gunpoint and that she was “knocked down to the ground in an unknown manner and became disoriented.”
She also sustained a cut to her lip before having both her phone and vehicle stolen. The suspects’ possibly used a getaway car, according to court documents. The agent said three Glock 19 handgun magazines loaded with live 9mm rounds of ammunition were also stolen.
The vehicle was located by law enforcement in an alley less than an hour later. Security footage showed two suspects exiting the agent’s car and fleeing the scene. On Nov. 30, an anonymous tip identified the suspects as members of the local Area 71 gang and provided law enforcement with the details of Lynch’s high school, DC News Now reports.
Investigators received further help from a witness at the school and secured a search warrant for the 17-year-old’s home.
Lynch is currently being held at the Youth Services Center as he awaits his trial.
The Insurance Information Institute said carjackers may attempt to lure potential victims by “bumping your car, pretending to be stranded motorists or flashing their lights as if there were something wrong with your car. In each of these scenarios, you might be tempted to pull over — only to have your car taken. Stay inside with the windows shut and the door locked, and if you feel a threat, drive to the nearest police or fire station.”
Washington, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser and the Metropolitan Police Department have issued free car tags to residents to help locate stolen vehicles more quickly.
5 Ways To Maintain A Winning Entrepreneurial Mindset
Originally Published Oct. 21, 2018
Entrepreneurs are all different. But one thing is for sure: in the evolving world of entrepreneurship, it takes both skill and grit. It also requires strong acuity in how our minds and attitudes are set. According to the Financial Times, an entrepreneurial mindset is a specific state of mind that directs human conduct toward entrepreneurial activities and outcomes. Entrepreneurial-minded individuals are often drawn to opportunities, innovation, and new value creation.
BLACK ENTERPRISE recently caught up with the transformational coach and CEO of Wealth Improvement Network (WIN), Natalie S. Taylor, to share insight and discuss how we can firmly establish and maintain a thriving and winning mindset in business.
There are fundamental needs and desires that all human beings share and strive to attain through their jobs and careers. However, what we all truly crave is to have an extraordinary quality of life, which can be defined differently for each of us. —Natalie S. Taylor
According to Taylor, when we are truly honest with ourselves, we can admit that it’s not about anyone else’s dream but about living on our own terms. Many are now excited to improve their quality of life by getting back control over their time, securing a financial future, and seizing various opportunities. While economic indicators all illustrate significant growth markers, there are fundamental needs and desires that all human beings share.
Income disparity is the root of many problems, which can also block many from obtaining the “extraordinary quality of life” they desire. Entrepreneurship has become a viable option for some and for others it is their only means to bridge the income/wealth gap. —Natalie S. Taylor
However, many are still struggling to shift from the mindset of an employee with a steady, predictable income to a new mindset required to forgo immediate gratification of a paycheck that comes with exchanging time for money. To flourish on the entrepreneurship journey, Taylor discusses five (5) key mindset shifts that can help you win.
Overcoming Rejection
The biggest thing to remember about rejection is that it’s never personal, although it sure does feel that way. Yes, you will have family and friends alike who may not support you. Bear in mind that everyone can’t see or won’t see the vision. They’re not saying ‘no’ to you but are declining to engage at the given time for whatever reason. Rejection has caused more entrepreneurs to walk away from their dreams because they haven’t dealt with the fact that rejection is inevitable and should be expected. In fact, in their book Go For No! Yes Is The Destination, No Is How You Get There, authors Richard Fenton and Andrea Waltz share a story of how a major difference in the main character’s life and overall successful lifestyle was his attitude toward rejection. The story used a case where good really was the enemy of great, as the main character always wanted to know what his client’s reasons were for saying no so he could go and work on improving his pitch, presentation, and product and go back over and over until he would win the client. Again, rejection isn’t personal, nor should it be received that way. It is simply an opportunity to learn and adjust so you can adjust one or more parts of your strategy.
Supporting Businesses
This area is crucial in maintaining the right mindset, as we often want our businesses to be supported but fail to support other businesses. We can provide support both online and offline. For online, social media is one of the most effective ways to leverage and build relationships. I’ve built business relationships in over 40 states and globally, all online. Building genuine relationships on social media requires being intentional because there’s no quick formula. Set a goal to connect with 10 new persons per week or month based on your time and required network. Once you identify the businesses or persons you want to support (and can afford), give feedback using your social media platforms. Engage, encourage, and edify by highlighting or spotlighting their services and products. This will do more for them than you can even imagine. It’s about having the mindset of each one, help one, and building a tribe around that mindset.
3. Managing Finances:
This one is a biggie. In this social media era with good lighting and a plethora of editing apps, it’s quite popular to “fake it until you make it,” but my mantra is to avoid going broke by pretending to be rich. Your audience will connect with you more at your true place of authenticity. When it comes to money matters, simply use what you have. You may have to eat at home more versus eating out. If they don’t support your business, then you shouldn’t be going out to party and eat with them. At least not initially when you need all your coins to invest in and sustain your startup. Also, wear what you have. In my wardrobe, I do buy quality clothes and shoes, but I also have no problem mixing and matching items and accessories I find at a bargain to create a whole new look and feel. Learning how to budget and live on less than you make is also essential. Entrepreneurship can be fickle at first when you are just getting started. One season you could be raking in the dough, and another season, your clients or customers are not just spending as much. Therefore, saving and reinvesting in your business is key to keeping going and growing consistently in and out of season.
Scaling Networks
It’s true that your network is tied to your net worth. So, work your network horizontally from left to right, not just vertically. Your horizontal network is a warm network of peers, colleagues, associates, and alike that’s easy to reach, learn, expand, and grow from. The objective is to leverage the strength of your network. Earlier, we spoke about rejection that will often come from this warm network. However, one way to overcome this is by looking for win-win solutions for everyone. When your friends, family, or old schoolmates see an opportunity to win by supporting you, they are more likely to commit to your mission and vision. The key is to create a vision large enough to accommodate the vision of others with whom you want to partner. In several interviews with Issa Rae, she shared that her success with her ultra-popular HBO hit series, Insecure, is a direct result of her partnering with friends from college. Issa originally started her career right out of college with Awkward Black Girl, a web series hosted on YouTube produced and written by her and a college roommate. Perhaps the next pivotal step or major breakthrough awaiting can be found in your phone contacts disguised as a distant cousin, prior co-worker, or classmate.
Paying It Forward
To leave a legacy, adopting and embracing the mindset of reciprocity (exchange), sowing, and reaping is essential. Basically, don’t forget the ones who helped you get started. As you grow and begin to accelerate on your journey of success, remember the pain of your struggle and look for an opportunity to pay it forward. Identify those who may come from the same background, with similar drive and pursuit for success, and help that person with your time and or resources. This is an ideal opportunity to sow. Find out who wants to win at a level that you have won, then pay it forward in their life, business, or career by being a mentor, investor, or volunteer. Purpose trumps profits every day. It’s about caring for people; that’s what matters at the end of the day. This mindset disposition is incredibly rewarding and impactful.
California Retailers To Be Fined Up To $500 For Rejecting Gender-Neutral Sections For Kids
California Governor Gavin Newsom has signed a bill that mandates certain retail stores to establish gender-neutral sections for children.
California Governor Gavin Newsom has signed a bill to take effect January 1, 2024 that mandates certain retail stores in the state to establish gender-neutral sections for children, according to the Daily Mail.
Regardless of their traditional marketing for boys or girls, certain retailers must comply with Assembly Bill No. 10584, or face civil penalties of $250 to $500. The law targets department stores with over 500 employees that sell childcare items or toys.
The bill defines “childcare items” as products designed for sleep, feeding, relaxation, or aiding with sucking or teething for children aged 12 and under. “Toys” are characterized as products intended for children by the manufacturer.
Democratic Congressman Evan Low, a supporter of the gender-neutral bill, emphasized the need to abandon gender stereotypes for children. “We need to stop stigmatizing what’s acceptable for certain genders and just let kids be kids,” Low said.
The legislation arrives after Target faced backlash for its sale of Pride seasonal items in spring 2023, according to the outlet. Target CEO Brian Cornell ordered related items to be removed from shelves following threats to burn down stores and attack employees.
Cornell cited safety concerns for store team members for the move.
“I’ve seen natural disasters, the impact of COVID, the violence that took place after George Floyd‘s murder,” Cornell told CNBC. “But I will tell you what I saw back in May is the first time since I’ve been in this job where I had store team members saying, ‘It’s not safe to come to work.'”
Target has historically supported Pride Month, ending gender divisions in products like children’s toys in 2015 and introducing a gender-neutral line for children in 2016. The California bill aligns with Target’s prior initiatives in promoting inclusivity and diversity, according to the Daily Mail.
Toy giant Lego issued a statement in support of the bill, emphasizing its commitment to making Lego play more inclusive and avoiding limitations on children’s creative ambitions due to gender stereotypes.
Black Actor Arrested For Jan. 6 Riot, Faces Misdemeanor Charges
Actor and first vice chair of the L.A. County Republican Party, Siaka Massaquoi, was arrested on Nov. 30 for his alleged involvement in the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol. Massaquoi was taken into custody by FBI agents at Hollywood Burbank Airport and charged with several misdemeanors, including trespassing, disorderly conduct, and parading or demonstrating in a Capitol building, Yahoo News reports.
Witness why I was raided 2 years ago and recently arrested and charged Nov 30th 2023 almost 3 years later https://t.co/0YH97WqftF
Massaquoi was released on a $1,000 bond after spending a night in jail. He quickly took to social media to clear his name and reposted a video of himself inside the Capitol building during the riots.
“Witness why I was raided 2 years ago and recently arrested and charged Nov. 30, 2023, almost 3 years later,” he said in a post on Twitter. The actor’s home was searched by authorities in 2021 due to concerns about things he posted on a “social media app” as well as people he publicly associated with, The Los Angeles Times reports. Massaquoi, who identifies as a “media personality,” defended himself after the raid, saying, “I did nothing wrong on the 6th … did nothing violent.”
The actor is also a contributor to the far-right site Red State, where he released an official statement about his detainment and expressed that he was “grateful to Jesus for being with me and my family throughout this unbelievable event.”
“Charlotte and I are so grateful for all the love and support we have received so far and know we will get through this with God’s grace. Thank you for your prayers and support,” Massaquoi continued. In 2022, he also ran for California State Assembly in District 43, positing himself as the more moral candidate against his opponent, Luz Rivas, who would go on to win the election.
Award-winning Food Journalist Toni Tipton-Martin Teaches History Of Black Mixology In New Book
Juke Joints, Jazz Clubs and Juice is a chronologically ordered book that dives into the history of Black beverage makers and entrepreneurs.
Culinary journalist and community activist Toni Tipton-Martin shares two centuries of Black history in her new cocktail book.
Juke Joints, Jazz Clubs and Juice: Cocktails From Two Centuries of African American Cookbooks is a collection of Black mixology history chronologically ordered around its influence on American cocktail culture. According to the book’s description, Tipton-Martin has assembled a variety of 70 classic, rediscovered, and modern recipes inspired by her expertise, research, and personal letters.
“Throughout history, African American alcohol consumption has been portrayed as derelict,” the book’s excerpt reads. “Advertisements, film and photo images, literature, and scholarship singled out our drunken displays, disparaged our women as ‘loose’ with low morals, and established a temperance movement based on the fear that African Americans would destroy ‘civil society’ with their imbibing.
According to The New York Times, the book explores the history of African American beverage entrepreneurs, including enslaved and free Black women who brewed beer and fermented wine during the antebellum era. It teaches readers how to make some of these historical drinks. As drink lovers move through the chapters, they will become familiar with the Black caterers and bartenders who ran taverns and made punches and cocktails since the late 18th century. “Juke Joints, Jazz Clubs and Juice” discusses how some contemporary African Americans reference liquor as a symbol of empowerment and success. It traces the significant yet overlooked contributions of Black beverage-makers throughout American history up to the present day.
“This is really a work of investigative journalism. It’s not just a book of cocktails,” said the James Beard Award-winning author.
Tipton-Martin pulled from an extensive collection of old cookbooks by Black authors, some dating back to 1827. She used this collection to deeply research and provide historical context in “Juke Joints, Jazz Clubs and Juice.”
She relied on 1917 and 1919 cookbooks by early Black bartenders Bullock and Julian Anderson and also uncovered Peyton’s “Peytonia Cook Book,” which had a chapter on drink recipes including juleps, fizzes, eggnog, sours, and manhattans.
“The beverage community has been waiting for a book like this,” master mixologist Tiffanie Barriere said. The food journalist credits her son Brandon Tipton, a formally trained bartender, and Barriere for helping her learn the ropes of the beverage industry early in her career.
