The Young Entrepreneur Empowerment Coalition.

I just had a feeling that I needed to remind people of this very positive movement right here. I felt it in my spirit! lol I've posted on the organization before when they were having their very first event in the ATL that I was suppose to go to but these girls called my friends couldn't go and I wasn't about to go by myself! Anywho, as a young lady who wishes to be a part of the entertainment industry and make a great positive impact on it, I can appreciate the creation and purpose of Y.E.E.C! The founders of Y.E.E.C are James Smith, Aaron Reid, and Jason Johnson. I respect these young men so much for thinking of this and wanting to do something for our generation. A lot of people think that young black men are useless and just want to gang bang or be a rapper and they are proving to people that a young black man can be successful and make a positive impact on this world. Obama ain't the only one people! They all have experience in the industry. All have worked for Island Def jam in areas such as PR, marketing, and promotions. I envy them for that...like my dream job.lol So for everyone who is following the Y.E.E.C movement, we are in good hands, they know what they are doing!

Here's some info on Y.E.E.C via their website (http://yeec.org):

So I would like to say, thanks to James, Aaron, and Jason for setting a positive example for their peers and generations to come. Also, for giving us, people who want to be a part of the industry, a platform to do so. I know YEEC is fairly new but already I can feel the impact that it is making and it's future looks hella bright. Your guys are officially dope! I love my generation *tear* lol
