Well, I haven’t had to report to a desk since July 1 and truth be told, I don’t miss it one bit. Sure health insurance is nice (I was making major strides in my dental work) but the lights are still on, my house is still mine, and the repo man isn’t trying to take my car. Compound that with the fact that my children and I are in good health, and I’d say that things are splendid.
September saw the rebirth of Supreme Media Group, LLC. I originally established SMG to be the parent company of Y:L Magazine (my blackgirl teen mag I launched circa 2005) but I intentionally made the biz name broad. I knew that there would be business ventures in the future and since establishing an LLC cost me some money, why not make the most of it? So, today SMG offers a spectrum of services including web design, content management, copy writing, editorial, publicity and most interestingly, sports marketing.
I do my sports marketing work under the name Stallion Sports Marketing, a nod to the high school alma mater of my first NFL client, Tarell Brown. He and I are working with his agent on some pretty big things for 2010 and beyond. I can’t wait to completely knock this out of the park and start gaining some traction for my business–and his name.

Back into the web design game!

I used to design websites once upon a time. I thought those days were long gone until I was personally smacked down by the recession. My foray back into personal web design (and I use the term design lightly because I’m devoted to my shortcuts) was first with my cousin Tarell. He’s a player for the SF 49ers and has had an official website for a while. I wasn’t ever a fan of it, but I didn’t feel like volunteering to redo it for him. Who ever wants to conduct business with family, seriously? Well my newfound downtime allowed me the opportunity to pull something together for him rather quickly and this is the result: http://www.tarellbrown.net. While I’m out of work, I’m hoping this will kick off a chain reaction with his teammates and they’ll all come to me for a site!
This being as clever as I can to bogard my way into marketing for the sports industry.
Wordpress disaster

I tried to upgrade to the latest version of Wordpress and lost absolutely all of my content. Everything. I am angry… and relying on cached content to rebuild my pages. The entries are gone (or perhaps nestled somewhere I can’t figure out in my SQL database) so I’ve imported the stuff I wrote for the Shopstrong Dallas blog.
If you are a prospective employer or simply someone who has Googled me, I apologize if any links I’ve given you are inaccurate.
