When Sisters Meet

They Sho ‘Nuff Matter

If African Americans alone were a country, they would be the 15th largest economy in the world, with AA Women controlling the lion’s share of it. This is a very important thing for consumer goods and media companies to get a handle on as this proves the need for more multicultural strategies. Another thing seen in this report was that shows depicting a diverse cast were the most successful ones amongst all shows on television. Shows such as “This Is Us” and “Blackish” are enjoyed and watched across all ethnic lines, which can only mean having a more diverse cast equals strengthening of viewership.

Did you know?

All human brains start as female brains, until the male brain is flooded with testosterone. But there they part paths. Men think in a linear fashion; women are circuitous and programmed to collect information. A woman’s brain has four times as many connections between the left and right hemispheres as a man’s. All of those signals hurtle down the superhighway into her right brain – the home of emotional memory, intuition and experience. A woman not only reads – she attaches feelings to what she’s reading. A woman’s heart is in her brain – tell her a story that is filled with emotion, and explain why your brand is relevant to her.

Moving Forward

Nielsen’s Study Reveal

Black Women

The digital sphere saw huge domination from Black women with the expanding of such movements as “Black Twitter.” The report analyzed data that saw that women of color, particularly Black women, had the most economic control, with spending power being in the trillions.

Asian Women

Asian women who don’t see themselves represented look at outlets such as YouTube to see those like them as influencers in industries such as beauty and fashion. Asian women seek inspiration from Korean and Chinese beauty trends in big box retailers, with major brands tapping these women who are viewing YouTube videos for advice on how to better suit their purchasing needs. US-born Asian women were most interested in products catered specifically to them.

Latina Women

With Latina women graduating at higher rates and entering the workforce in large numbers, their multi-generational influence gives more insight into how they are spending their money. The study showed that Latina women saw themselves as 100% American and at the same time 100% Latina. Though they are modern and adapt to trends they see in the country, they are keen on keeping tradition intact.

Brotherly Walk

We demand respect, love, and well-wishes to brothers of all spectrums, careers, ethnicities, and lifestyles. Our struggles in and outside of our communities do not define us, but we will not ignore the pain that it has carried from generation to generation. The spiritual bond that others attempt to mock will continue to be the foundation in an environment of growth and healthy competition.

If you wake up deciding what you want to give versus what you’re going to get, you become a more successful person. In other words, if you want to make money, you have to help someone else make money.

Russell Simmons

Winning is great, sure, but if you are really going to do something in life, the secret is learning how to lose. Nobody goes undefeated all the time. If you can pick up after a crushing defeat, and go on to win again, you are going to be a champion someday.

Wilma Rudolph

If we accept and acquiesce in the face of discrimination, we accept the responsibility ourselves and allow those responsible to salve their conscience by believing that they have our acceptance and concurrence. We should, therefore, protest openly everything… that smacks of discrimination or slander.

If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and deprecate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground, they want rain without thunder and lightning.

Frederick Douglass

Powerful people never educate powerless people in what they need that they can use to take the power away from powerful people; it’s too much to expect. If I was in power, I would not educate people in how to take my powers away..

Dr. John Henrik Clarke

I’m hungry for knowledge. The whole thing is to learn every day, to get brighter and brighter. That’s what this world is about. You look at someone like Gandhi, and he glowed. Martin Luther King glowed. Muhammad Ali glows. I think that’s from being bright all the time, and trying to be brighter.
