Photo Rules

TO BE APPROVED: Your photos and your videos should be relevant to our mission for this site....BUSINESS RELATED!

THIS IS NOT MYSPACE

I am happy to see the level of class and professionalism that our members conduct themselves in. As more members join, I am certain we will have some who feel that they can come in and taint the quality of integrity that we bring to our Network. That is why I feel that it is important to inform any member that any photos or comments that we deem inappropriate will be banned.

We do ask that any photos that you post be related to your business. Some of you may have gotten a kind notice from me concerning our views on having photos of children on the site. I have let you know that I am concerned about displaying our children to the world. This is a new day and once we put ourselves, (and our children) out there God only knows who has access to us, so please consider my comments to be advice given out of love. I had to think twice before I put my son's name on my site.

One member called me to thank me for the reminder because she also noted that people can cut and paste our kid's photo and who knows where they might appear; so please be careful.

I ask all of our members to take note if you come across inappropriate, or what may be unacceptable practices. We are professional business women who's image is our business. You never know who may be watching.

Thank you,

Ola

Shopping While Black

It was a few weeks into the New Year when I decided to stop in a store, and reward myself for the efforts of my labor in the previous year. As soon as I walked in the door I saw some clothes that I felt I would like to try on. I picked out several garments that were located near the front door of the store.

Working my way back, I soon found myself overwhelmed with all of the merchandise that I had to carry. Instead of coming over to help me to the dressing room, the saleswoman responded by rema… Continue

A Comments from one of our readers:
Thank you for allowing a platform of expression for the Home Girl, CEO.
You and your vision are both absolutely FABULOUS!
As far As my home based business, I haven't completely taking the plunge but, I'm 90% there!

Here's my thing:
I can no longer fall victim to a work place that has not set up ample respect for the single mom! My last job wanted me to work from 4pm-1am. In my opinion, they were telling me to forget about my family, and forget about having a life and let someone else raise your child!
To me, that's truly unacceptable as well as, on the other hand, motivating.
I can't continue to do the same thing and get the same results. I think they call that "insanity", right!
For me, that was a serious wake up call. So now, I'm working through this thing called "fear" and it's been a douzie! However, I plan to succeed at all cost.
I have too! I'm not giving myself any other option and you shouldn't either.
Always remember that we come from a background of strong survivors that would do anything for the price of freedom, even risk loosing their lives.
So , on that note, lets expect to succeed. Let's plan, organize, and execute! Let's be that person that we are waiting to show up! Let's do the do! Let's make a committment to hold each other accountable for success. I'll take the stand first.
