Wendell Hanes @ For Sisters Only Expo in DC

Image via WikipediaOn Saturday, November 1, the Washington DC Convention Center was full of folks looking for product, information, and entertainment. The For Sisters Only Expo sponsored by a host of folks (such as WPGC) was quite a scene.
Wendell Hanes was invited to radio personality, Michel Wright's "Literary Cafe" to promote and speak on his book, The 30-30 Career: Making 30 Grand in 30 Seconds! Producing Music for Commercials

Noted author, Omar Tyree, was the host and he had his hands full as the Cafe was unfortunately positioned near a DJ booth. But he and the other authors had much bass in their voices and the crowd got what they came for...info.
















Wendell spoke to the crowd for awhile and sold a large number of books. Thanks to WPGC, Michel Wright, and The Renaissance Group for inviting Wendell to participate. Thanks goes out to Dackeyia Q. Sterling for sharing info and resources. Shout outs to Tafia Allah-Pringle of the TLA PR Agency for the love and support.

Hip Hop Honors Awards Party @ The Volstead

It was hectic, but it was a fun time. Wendell Hanes, his wife Lesley, Phat Gary, and DJ Premier, and myself forced ourselves in and did our thing at The Volstead. Hats off to Good Girl PR and TLAPR for a jam-packed shin-dig.

Highlights for me:
Seeing Zenobia for the first time in several years.
Talking with Lisa Willis and Ashley Battle of the NY Liberty.

Hearing Eazy Mo Bee tell Wendell that they need to get back in the studio to work on a commercial.
