Let's begin with how my day started and eventually ended. After going through your typical airport chaos, I finally landed in New York where it took me (2) hours to get to my hotel that was accidentally referred to myself and other guests in error, but that is another story for another time. I finally got to the room where I was able to lay down and prepare for the event. All White "Strictly Enforced" Dress code was the rule for the evening but I think "Bronze Blazed" forgot the very memo she sent out as she graced the stage in a cute ALL BLACK DRESS! Well, I guess you can do that when you are the honoree. Anyway, the event started off with the "Almighty Q," who provided great insight on the music industry and actually provided beneficial information that is pertinent for a successful journey in the music business. He was very engaging and hilarious. I actually think that he missed his calling as he should have been a comedian. Bronze Blazed came out next with her giant smile and introduced the crowd to Lady Sapphire.
I provided some background information of my time working in the Entertainment Industry and provided information about my Public Relations Company and how my company is helping businesses and entertainment professionals. I then introduced "JATARRA" who not only sung her face off, but she actually put on a great performance. I didn't think that the crowd was ready for the fire that came from this young lady. American Idol was a blessing but "JATARRA'S" future will far exceed that experience. The Legendary DJ. KAOS of Zulu Nation stated that "she is going to be WORLDWIDE," and I believe that sir! The remainder of the evening as enlightening as other entrepreneurs took the stage to speak about their products and gratitude for the opportunity of being apart of the networking event.
Comedians Miss T Bizzle, had me screaming... with yo nasty self and comedian Ricky Barrino had the whole place on the floor. We were thoroughly entertained by additional artists such as Daddie Notch and Swamp City Bigfoot NYC. There were dancers and all sorts of entertainment professionals their to talk about their businesses. Everyone looked awesome in their white and the networking was so amazing. I would like to personally give a shout out to Big Ang's friends from Staten Island who came out to pay tribute to their fellow ride or die "Drunken Monkey." They were one of the highlights of the evening, so much fun and lots of liquor. Linda Agro D'Onfrio Torres, you're my chick to hang with.
I can go on and on about the great people I met at this event. I am so appreciative that I was invited and was acknowledged for my contribution to this industry (grinding since 2001). I love to see people get together, really appreciate one another and truly take time to get to know one another and what we do as a business. It was truly a fun event, looking forward to many more to come!
