FAB On Power 105.1 Interview: Recap

EVENT RECAP: FAB Founder, J. Styles featured on Power 105's "Power on the Block" -- Sunday, August 7, 2011 -- Power 105.1 Studio, NYC

I had the priviledge of being interviewed by the esteemed Kim Kane of Power 105.1, the premier R&B/Hip Hop radio station in NYC. We discussed important topics concerning education, community, professional development, trials of being an entrepreneur and the true importance of not only working hard to become successful, but the significance of looking back to help others along the way. Now more than ever, it is critical that we give our youth positive role models to aspire to and the resources necessary to help them reach their fullest potential. Education budgets may not always reflect the importance of supporting "arts" in schools or completely understand how influential after-school programs are in providing students with structure and support, therefore it is our duty as civic leaders to go beyond voicing our opinions and actively take charge. I challenge you to volunteer, become a mentor, tutor, make a donation, help a friend . . . every little bit counts!

Kim Kane made it very clear that it is her priority to use her platform to highlight positivity, specifically within the minority community! I can not thank her enough for her efforts. It is the collective minds of those who are serious about making a difference who truly make an impact within all realms of society. So, kudos to Power 105.1 and Kim Kane for allowing me to share my work with YOU!

I made TWO very special announcements, so if you missed out, stay tuned . . . full details will be blasted soon!

Thank you to everyone who tuned in and continues to support The FAB Network!

We’ll answer your questions about the benefits of internships, how to use social media to your advantage, and how to establish a personal connection with a potential employer.

My new FAV song!

Have you heard the new Beyonce song "1+1"? It is awesome! You must buy the CD and listen to this song in particular! It's about love and all that mushy stuff! Just wanted to share a music jewel with you! I have it on REPEAT!!!!!

Just Wanted to Write to Say . . .

Writing is therapy for me. It's freedom. I thought I'd drop you a line to say that whatever your passion is, keep at it. You can do it! Whatever your dreams are for your life, don't give up. God has a plan for all of us and I truly believe He will lead us on the right path if we try hard to be obedient to His word. Don't get discouraged by the rocky terrain you may experience on your path. It's all a process . . . I am here with you fighting the great fight! Let's work hard, pray hard, go hard!
