A nationally syndicated television series that spotlights successful African American power players and business executives, debuted this month with former CBS news anchor Shon Gables as host.
The show is designed to fill the void in television business news regarding the African American community, according to Black Enterprise. The weekly series includes segments entitled Power Player interviews, and Entrepreneur of the Week, Wealth Building, and Luxe Life.
The premiere episode of Black Enterprise Business Report profiled Bob Johnson, the founder of the BET cable network and the nation’s first black billionaire. In an exclusive interview, Johnson detailed his latest ventures as owner of the Charlotte Bobcats basketball franchise and proprietor of Our Stories Films, his new partnership with entertainment mogul Harvey Weinstein.
Lisa Price, founder of thriving skincare company Carol's Daughter, their Entrepreneur of the Week, and Brooklyn-based designer, Nana Boateng, showed the latest styles and trends in their Luxe Life segment.
“We are extremely excited to announce the launch of a news broadcast dedicated to showcasing the black business community,” says BE President and CEO Earl “Butch” Graves.
“As the Black Enterprise brand continues its multimedia expansion into television, Black Enterprise Business Report joins Our World with Black Enterprise in reaching out to the 40.2 million African Americans in the country (who are vastly underserved by current mass media). Black Enterprise has been the definitive source of news and information for and about African American business markets and leaders for more than three decades. No company is better positioned to fill this void in television than be,” Graves says
