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 />
gospel. She obtained her London GCE and JSC along with many<br />
awards in track and field before she migrated to the US. After migrating<br />

served the Lord alongside her leader Bishop Clara Hubbins for<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 />
Mental Health and Psychology. Prophetess Smith relocated to Miami,<br />
Florida where she joined A Place Called Hope Ministry. She<br />
served her community as a care Pastor, establishing an after<br />

Miami. As the leader of this program, she served over 3000<br />
families providing food, clothes, toys, etc. She has served in many<br />
leadership roles and is currently a board member of several<br />
churches both local and international. She became the founder of<br />
her ministry The Throne of Grace Healing and Deliverance Center<br />

Smith is gifted and anointed with prophecy and healing. Her main<br />
goal is to continue working for the Lord through giving and providing<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 ..
