Preface<br />

The concept of Black Owned<br />

Businesses (BOB) was originated<br />

to empower the focus of Africans<br />

and other folks of generic Diaspora<br />

entity engaged in business<br />

development in our diverse community.<br />

This initiative is a positive<br />

and tremendous mission for black<br />

owned businesses to anchor their<br />

groundation-vibration thereupon.<br />

Particularly, where our businesses<br />

are filled with the flavor of the<br />

performing arts. The black owned<br />

businesses are here to stay, because<br />

these businesses are the divine<br />

backbone of our styled filled<br />

and artistic community.


THE TEMPTATIONS<br />

These Brothers came into our lives musically and it has never been the<br />

same with hits after hits. They were MOTOWN at its very best as they<br />

spared no melody on point vocals, these guys had soul not to mention their<br />

dance moves.<br />

This group was definitely a one of a kind , they went in as some teenage sensation<br />

and came out as musical superstar giants. Thanks to God for such<br />

greatness and thanks to Berry Gordy for giving them the opportunity; as they<br />

were larger than life. We just could not get enough of the music they recorded<br />

including some of those popular hits written by Smokey which still continues<br />

to captivate the world over.

The Most Hon. Louis Farrakhan, they all Hail him<br />

A man of strength,<br />

high standards, integrity<br />

and dignity, Louis<br />

Farrakhan was a true<br />

revolutionary, as well<br />

as an historical figure<br />

in American history to<br />

date. Despite his varying<br />

achievements, the<br />

media-at-large <strong>dec</strong>ided<br />

to spread negative<br />

messages about this<br />

man of such greatness<br />

and created what they<br />

wanted the world to<br />

perceive him as.<br />

Now the question is: What<br />

was wrong with him helping<br />

the urban neighborhood?<br />

When in actuality, he was<br />

only doing as much as possible<br />

to direct the forgotten<br />

people into an invincible future;<br />

from teaching the African-American<br />

men to believe<br />

in themselves and<br />

that all things are always<br />

possible only according to<br />

what they believe they<br />

could achieve. Why are they<br />

calling African-Americans<br />

Black, when its true meaning<br />

is dead? All these years<br />

you have to sit and wonder,<br />

when an African<br />

American is attached to<br />

the word Black, it means<br />

nothing. This is why they<br />

disregard The Black<br />

Lives Matter Movement.<br />

According to them, Black<br />

is nothing. Well, the Hon.<br />

Louis Farrakhan is, in<br />

our opinion, a wonderful,<br />

kind, and loving family<br />

man who wanted only to<br />

see the world united as<br />

one & thriving peacefully.<br />

One has to wonder<br />

where the media gets<br />

their stories from.


It was just a few years after<br />

the king was crowned King of the<br />

dancehall we found out that Yellowman<br />

had cancer and was given<br />

a short time to live. He later<br />

proved, that only the living God<br />

has the power over life and death.<br />

Bart Simpson, was a character<br />

created after the King but he was<br />

never compensated.<br />

It’s a shame how people do these<br />

things and get away with it. A<br />

child from a foster home, who nurtured<br />

his musical talent and made<br />

a name for himself, should not be<br />

exploited at all. Yet the King still<br />

pulls a huge crowd wherever<br />

he goes!<br />

B.O.B. Magazine..


Sean Combs aka P. Diddy always<br />

seemed to be getting<br />

himself in trouble whenever<br />

he visits Miami; when he<br />

danced the salsa with J. Lo<br />

and then got set up with the<br />

police. Always getting in trouble<br />

as Puff Daddy, until when<br />

we realized that he changed<br />

his name to P. Diddy and with<br />

the name change, his character<br />

changed as well. He had<br />

remained out of trouble for a<br />

long time, until that incident<br />

where the UCLA Football<br />

Coach disrespected his son,<br />

Justin, Sean then showed<br />

them who Puff Daddy really<br />

was. Now we see him<br />

dressed as a gentleman here<br />

promoting his Sean John<br />

Clothing Line, Ciroc line of<br />

Vodka and his bad boy Record Label. He single handedly is responsible<br />

for the rise of Biggie Smalls for that alone we applaud him, he gave Biggie<br />

Smalls the confidence to rise above himself. His present net worth is<br />

approx. $ 650 million and he is set to be the next African American billionaire.<br />

Now he’s speaking up about unity and love of his race, education,<br />

self discipline and development. P. Diddy you make us proud. -<br />

Prophetess Jennifer Smith, born in Kingston, Jamaica and migrated<br />

to the United States in 1970. At a young age of 12 years old,<br />

she started her work with the Lord winning souls such as her<br />

mom, dad, siblings and neighbors who became a part of the<br />

church that she was saved, the Little Wayside Bethany<br />

Church.. During this time she evangelized to others travelling<br />

throughout the 14 parishes of Jamaica spreading and sharing the<br />

over 20 years, where she was ordained as a Pastor in charge of<br />

community relations, during this time she obtained her degree in<br />

Florida where she joined A Place Called Hope Ministry. She<br />

Miami. As the leader of this program, she served over 3000<br />

Minister Marion Hall is one of Jamaica’s<br />

most talented Entertainers whose career<br />

spans over two <strong>dec</strong>ades, with lots of children<br />

becoming adults listening to the<br />

known Dancehall Queen<br />

N<br />

ow Miss Marion Hall has become<br />

a Christian and refused to<br />

use the name God gave her to lead millions<br />

of people the way she wanted then.<br />

Now God has called upon her to lead the<br />

same people in the direction he wants her.<br />

He wanted her to lead them to him but<br />

since she has switched her name, now millions<br />

of fans are left looking for Lady Saw.<br />

Meanwhile she hides under her real name<br />

Marion Hall. We cant find her, our dancehall<br />

Queen. Lady leaves us spinning around<br />

looking for her. Well B.O.B Magazine has<br />

found her, and this is her new gospel album<br />

WHEN GOD SPEAKS. Now all the people<br />

that followed her for years will continue following<br />

her as if we already knew it was Lady<br />

Saw. Like Al Green ,Papa San, Lt. Stitchie,<br />

Mr. Vegas and the list goes on.<br />

We want Lady Saw as the Christian that’s<br />

the name we know and trust


Is the CIA a good thing for<br />

humanity? or is it a bad<br />

idea? We know that the<br />

FBI was formed because of<br />

the rise of Marcus Garvey<br />

in America but the question<br />

is what threat did Bob Marley<br />

cause to humanity?<br />

In fact, he should be embraced<br />

for his idea of “Lets<br />

get together and feel alright”,<br />

I believe because<br />

Bob Marley said “Don't worry<br />

about a thing cause everything<br />

is gonna be alright.”<br />

T’hree little birds’.. We<br />

tend to forget the troubles<br />

in these trying times<br />

BOB MARLEY WAS MURDERD BY THE CIA , MR. OAXLY CONFESSES ON HIS<br />

DEATH BED. BOB’S SHOES CUT HIS TOE WITH THE POISON AND THE ULTRA<br />

LIGHTS THAT THEY KEPT SHINNING ON HIM ACCORDING TO BOB’S DRUMMER<br />

HELPED TO SPREAD THE CANCER ALL OVER HIS BODY AND BEFORE YOU KNOW<br />

IT BOB WAS GONE . NOW WHAT BOB WAS DOING THAT WAS SO BAD , LETS GET<br />

TOGETHER AND FEEL ALRIGHT –ONE LOVE ,


My name is Sunny<br />

Siddons the daughter<br />

of the late Clint O’<br />

Neil. My late father<br />

called me Sunny O’, I<br />

was born in Miami,<br />

Florida. I developed<br />

the love for modeling<br />

and fashion at a<br />

young age while<br />

hanging out with my<br />

father going to different<br />

places. I started<br />

out modeling for GCE<br />

modeling agency in<br />

Miami at the age of<br />

13 with my mother.<br />

My dream is to oneday<br />

become a Victoria<br />

Secret Angel model<br />

and also be on the<br />

cover of Ebony Magazine.<br />

One of my goal<br />

is to focus on keeping<br />

my father’s<br />

dream alive by helping<br />

the needy kids in<br />

Jamaica.


Sunny O is one of the world’s most beautiful models around, who is<br />

ready for any challenge thrown at her. She tends to agree that the<br />

modeling world is tough but she is always on time for her gigs, takes<br />

her art seriously and is always ready for the next challenge. Sunny is<br />

truly the next big thing .<br />

B.O.B. Magazine


Miss Sunny O'Neil is an American<br />

model who is currently<br />

modeling all over the world.<br />

She is showing off her beautiful<br />

evening gown that has<br />

everyone’s jaw dropping. This<br />

Queen was born and raised in<br />

Miami, Florida and has become<br />

an unstoppable role<br />

model. Many women aspire to<br />

be like her because she is a<br />

strong Alpha female. Father<br />

Clint O'Neil, DJ of Radio Station<br />

WLRN and FM 91.3 was<br />

her inspiration.


My name is Veronne McMain and I have been at Parkway Middle school of<br />

the Arts in Lauderhill for about 15 years and the one thing that I can say<br />

about my school is that we all work as a team with one goal in mind and<br />

that is to improve the lives of our students.<br />

For the past 7 years, I have been hosting several events at Parkway. One of<br />

them is celebrating our teachers for the entire teacher’s week that occurs<br />

sometime in May. The purpose of this event is not only to show gratitude to<br />

our teachers but also to break down the divide that sometimes occurs between<br />

teachers, administrators and itinerant staff.<br />

Another annual event that I host is the Thanksgiving Celebration. I <strong>dec</strong>ided<br />

that I would build a network of community partners that would provide<br />

Thanksgiving baskets to my families. It certainly would have been easier to<br />

participate in the school wide event but I <strong>dec</strong>ided against it because my<br />

families are poor and most are unable to donate anything during the holidays.<br />

Each year the event gets better.<br />

This year Thanksgiving event, we had close to 500 parents sign in and we<br />

provided all with a hot meal and 150 families with turkeys and a basket of<br />

groceries. The goal of this event is to not only feed families but also to<br />

build trust between the parents and the school and to increase parent engagement.<br />

This year I launched a mentorship program again utilizing the community to<br />

help our students. That also has taking off, I currently have 43 mentors<br />

and they come to the school to meet with the students two times per<br />

month. I have a system in place to monitor the student’s progress. I have<br />

pulled data for each student before having a mentor and will keep track<br />

monthly until the end of the school year. At the end, I need to be able to<br />

see if this was a viable intervention.


THE KING OF<br />

KINGS VISITED<br />

JAMAICA IN<br />

1966<br />

It was a milestone<br />

for the Rasta's and<br />

the Jamaican people<br />

at large the KING OF<br />

KINGS gave the government<br />

of Jamaica<br />

money to build a<br />

school and donated<br />

books for the school<br />

that was later taken<br />

away from the students<br />

they where<br />

intended for and<br />

given to the University.


The Lord gave the word; great was the company of those<br />

who published it. The Twentieth Century has seen the<br />

coronation of an Ethiopian King of Kings who was<br />

crowned on November 2nd, 1930 with his Empress at<br />

the same time. B.O.B Magazine


Since the birth of this Great King<br />

of Kings, history proves H.I.M to<br />

be the greatest of all Kings ever<br />

entered the passage way of this<br />

earth in 1892, 23rd. of July.<br />

The heavens <strong>dec</strong>lared the glory<br />

of God and a child was born six<br />

years prior to his birth Karl Benz<br />

made the first car in Germany,<br />

1886.<br />

As the scripture would read in his<br />

time there will be Chariots of Fire.<br />

Then he was honored<br />

by the Germans<br />

with the<br />

Benz Coat of<br />

Arms.<br />

During this period 1892 to 1974<br />

we see the wisdom of mankind<br />

increasing rapidly , invention of everything<br />

, you name it ..

REPRESENTING THE ENTIRE “STATE of FLORIDA”


Mr. Robinson if<br />

you please .<br />

Smokey is no stranger to<br />

us and if your grand<br />

mother and mother is<br />

willing to tell the truth<br />

they will tell you ’ A LOT<br />

OF BABIES’ were made<br />

because of the songs this<br />

wonderful man sung or<br />

wrote for other artists.<br />

Smokey was clearly the<br />

main ingredient at Motown,<br />

he sings and writes<br />

songs that changed peoples<br />

lives for the greater<br />

good. Mr. Berry Gordy<br />

couldn't have done it<br />

without him. Smokey will<br />

tell you, in his own words,<br />

that the MOTOWN family<br />

was a FAMILY, that works<br />

together as a team. Any<br />

member that came up<br />

with an idea, the family<br />

would consistently tweak<br />

it & work with it until it<br />

was perfect for release.<br />

-B.O.B magazine


Mr. Berry Gordy is not only a musical<br />

genius but rather an intelligent<br />

civil rights leader whose name<br />

though it remains in the background,<br />

Mr. Gordy fights just as<br />

hard as any other civil rights leader<br />

musically. Mr. Gordy is smart<br />

enough to make the kind of music<br />

that all people love; of course there<br />

were those who were racist and<br />

would not purchase the songs if it<br />

had the original singers’ picture on<br />

the album because of the color of<br />

their skin. So, Mr. Gordy would put<br />

a white couple on the album in order<br />

to get air play in the white<br />

neighborhoods.


Smokey made us proud by writing the first hit song for the Supreme's<br />

This son and daughter of Detroit became larger than life, Motown delivered….<br />

.


From Jackson 5 to Michael Jackson<br />

Its no joke when Michael saw his elder<br />

brothers practicing he secretly learnt the<br />

songs and one day he was discovered,<br />

while touring with his big brothers he observed<br />

a lot of things on the road, but little<br />

did we know that one great day Mr.<br />

MJJ would be the King of Pop music as<br />

we know it. Here we see him with the<br />

Supreme Queen Miss Diana Ross wearing<br />

matching outfits. He has left a void in<br />

the world that no one can fill, he will always<br />

be the most talented American that<br />

ever lived and a savvy businessman.<br />

He became the owner of all publishing<br />

rights for artists like Elvis Presley, Beatles,<br />

and himself, Michael was a serious<br />

business man. B.O.B. Magazine


BERRY GORDY<br />

Its not often in the African American<br />

community you will find a savvy businessman<br />

as Berry Gordy, he knows<br />

what he wants and he delivers.<br />

Mr. Motown himself wants to make<br />

music for all people not for race, so<br />

even in ‘Jim Crow America’, we saw<br />

segregation in the Hall that the Temptations<br />

would perform, where a rope<br />

was used to separate the audience<br />

where you would have the Africans<br />

on the left and Caucasians on the<br />

right. Until Ray Charles put a stop to<br />

that by boycotting his concert and<br />

was banned from entering his own<br />

born state of Georgia where he was<br />

so longing to be and if he entered he<br />

would be arrested. He then recorded the song<br />

‘Georgia on my Mind’ that later became National<br />

state song . There is no doubt that Motown broke<br />

down the barriers between African and Caucasian<br />

American .<br />

As Berry went along he made movies like “Lady<br />

Sings the Blues” starring Diana Ross and Billy<br />

Dee Williams, then sold his company for $60 m. but retained his publishing<br />

rights ….. smart move. “MR. BERRY GORDY”<br />

We are so proud of you and how you commanded the respect to be an<br />

example for future businessmen of all race, especially your own and for<br />

that we thank you . B.O.B. Magazine ..
