- About Me:
- Ola R. Jackson is the founder of OWN: Onyx Woman Network, Media for Women of Color. OWN: Onyx Woman Network consist of a business magazine, a television talk show that focuses on financial empowerment, career advancement, entrepreneurial development and wellness. We are also creating an online radio talk show.
Our web site has segments from our talk shows that feature professional black women who serve as experts in the areas of finances, business growth and development and career guidance. We created a talk show to fill a void in the broadcast industry that too often overlook the issues of concern to African-American women. We also feel that it is important that we see ourselves in leadership positions.
Our goal is that you will use this site to network with other African-American women of like-minds. We encourage you to be supportive and share your advice and business experiences so others can learn and grow.

You
remember how excited we all got when a national news station spent some
time talking about the state of black women. We were all so excited to
have a voice. We were surprised that some national entity felt
compelled to spotlight our issues.

- Hi Ola!!! It is well! It hasn't been long since things settled down with Dad. I just had my media kit copy-edited and designed by professionals, so now it's back on the grind for me. I was half-working...
Don't let the book stress you. You should enjoy the process. It will come out in due time and when it does you want it to be right. Did you decide to self-publish?

I think I posted in the wrong space.
Thanks so much for your love and support and we had a powerful time with you here in the ATL. You are a true blessing to us all. I have contacted with a few of the new sisters I met at the event. Networking and connecting with each other will be a vital key to sisters success. You know the key. Love to the family and I look forward to seeing you in January.
Love ya,

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.
