Oprah Winfrey Comes In At The #2 Spot On Forbes America’s Richest Self-Made Women List
06/02/2016 • 
-
One of America's Richest Self-Made Women is none other than the legendary Media Mogul Oprah Winfey! Lady O landed at the NO.2 spot with $3.1 billion dollars. Such an inspiration.
-
Oprah Winfrey's magic has rubbed off on Weight Watchers. Since the media mogul bought a 10% stake in the diet empire in October 2015, its stock is up some 90%. The long-reigning queen of daytime TV has also proven she can thrive without a talk show. Her cable network, OWN, delivered its most-watched year in 2015, following four years of double-digit viewership growth, according to Nielsen. Next up: miniseries Queen Sugar, coproduced with Selma collaborator Ava DuVernay, and TV drama Greenleaf, about a Tennessee megachurch. Forbes

05/02/2016 • 
-
It's official!!
-
With no mass marketing Mrs.Carter dropped another banging album that has earned her, her sixth Number 1 album. I loved the visual album. The imagery and symbolism was everything. The message was clear but at the same time it made the world think my boy Jay Z cheated on her wife. Sigh... I call them marketing genius. They love to get the people going. *sips Lemonade* The album also touched on many topics such as Daddy issues, Black Pride and more.

Music Blogger @KarenCivil Remains Focused & Positive After Cyberbullying
-
A few days ago media maven Karen Civil experienced cyberbullying after doing an interview on a podcast show. During the interview with Taxstone, Karen went down memory lane and recalled an event that occurred between Jay-Z and rapper Cam'ron.
-
I actually listened to the show and shook my head knowing that it might not end well. Not because Karen spoke ill about Cam. But because she shared a moment in history that the world had no clue about AND it made it seem like Cam caused DipSet to be moved out of the building, after the bad encounter with Jay.
-
Welp, word got back to Cam and it was all she wrote. He went on Instagram and posted the following picture with the caption:
-
#KarenCivilIsALiar I've haven't went in on Karen ever and been proud of what she's accomplished.. Even if she's lied and stole to get there.. But u not gonna put me in ya bullshit.. Despite what people think Jay-Z and I were not enemies.. He signed off on mad projects we did.. When he didn't have too.. And showed my crew love.. It wasn't till I Left DefJam (not kicked out) till we fell out..and I still respect his hustle and business savvy.. And what he's accomplished.. With that out the way.. Karen civil worked for me and never gave us a shoutout or anything.. And that's fine.. But don't LIE.. I never got kicked out of anywhere.. LA Reid was kind enough to let me out the deal once he got to def jam.. Cause I had a 5 million dollar deal waiting for me at Warner bros.. And LA Reid begged me to stay.. But I had to grab that bag.. (Thx LA)
-
Moments after the post her mentions were in shambles with trolls. I went on her twitter and saw the same thing. Random people who had no clue about anything, were in her mentions taunting her. It really sucked because grown adults were partaking in the cyberbullying and if Karen didn't have tough skin something like this would have made her crack.

Today Essence Magazine released an interview they conducted with karen Civil. She spoke on cyberbullying and taking the positive route. Click HERE to read the full interview.
