YPs, Some of you may be familiar with our YPTV series and some of you may not. Today I wanted to reintroduce it to you guys as well as let you know what’s going on with me right now. It’s been a rough week for me, but it’s all good. A day in the life of a YoungProfessional entails ups and downs. I just wanted to come and speak to you YPs and let you know to stay motivated. By any means I’m going to get to where I’m going. YPs Stand Up!

Let me just say this, “$3,175! Seriously?!” I would be the first to say, “Its Quality, not Quantity.” But I’ll be damned. Do you know what I could do with $3,175!? Let me tell you what I could do with $3,175 in one sentence, “BUY A CAR!” When I saw this price I had to figure out why they were so much. In the description it says they’re “pale gold leather peep-toe pumps encrusted with iridescent Swarovski crystals.” Pale Gold… THAT BETTER BE REAL GOLD. Swarovski crystals… THEY BETTER BE TOP OF THE LINE CRYSTALS AND I BETTER BE ABLE TO PUT INSURANCE ON THEM! I love shoes and they are a very big part of my life, but $3,175 for one pair of shoes is not working out for me. If you want to purchase these for yourself, be my guess. My life is a recession!

This weekend the 65th Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association (CIAA) Tournament will take place in Charlotte, NC. The CIAA Tournament is the one of the most successful and celebrated college basketball tournaments in the United States featuring 12 historically black colleges and universities from the oldest American Historically Black College Conference. I have never personally attended the CIAA Tournament but have heard that this is one of the best weekends to party and network annually and in the future hopefully YPBlogSpot’s very own will be able to attend the CIAA Tournament not only to party but to take advantage of great marketing and networking opportunities. DJ Skillz aka “The Next Great American DJ” will be hosting a number of parties this weekend at the CIAA Tournament and with him being a North Carolina native and one of the best DJs in the land then YPs I suggest you party with the best. The flyer above is full of the events and parties DJ Skillz will be hosting this weekend so be safe, network and have a ball. And tell Skillz YPBlogSpot sent you.

I’ve always enjoyed the saying above because I truly believe we all are products of our environment and the things we are exposed to EARLY greatly affect us as adults. With that said, I think about lessons passed down to me either via my parents or mentors. My parents did a great job of leading by example but never really sat me or my siblings down and spoke to a specific item consistently. In no way is this a knock on them because I’d like to think I’ve learned a lot by watching and emulating but, I think I could have learned more if shown things directly. Of course hindsight is 20/20 and I’m not sure if at age 15 I really wanted to hear about investing money but who knows? However, I do feel like those early dialogues help avoid falling into traps as an adult.
I had an opportunity to have a conversation with the founder of The R.I.C.K. Foundation and editor-in-chief of American Dreaming Magazine Brandon Davis to discuss his new magazine that is soon to be a household name nationwide. During the interview, Brandon revealed the beginnings of ADMag, the inspiration and purpose of ADMag, and the goals of ADMag along with future plans of the American Dreaming Magazine and The R.I.C.K. Foundation.
Brandon Davis is the editor-in-chief of American Dreaming Magazine but before there was American Dreaming Magazine; Brandon founded The R.I.C.K. Foundation in November 2007. The R.I.C.K. Foundation is a 501c (3) non- Read more »
