All of Mathew’s speaking engagements have been canceled for the rest of the year. This is a huge loss for his company Music World Entertainment since most of his revenue comes from these speaking appearances. Mr. Knowles generates awareness about COVID-19 & the importance of social distancing with new PSA video that he produced thru his label Music World Entertainment: https://vimeo.com/409994280 Mathew Knowles is best known for managing Destiny’s Child and grooming his daughters Beyoncé and Solange to mega stardom from his indie label Music World Entertainment. 2020 was supposed to be the year of Destiny’s Child’s return but things have now changed due to COVID19. Mathew was planning to produce Survivor: Destiny’s Child The Musical based on the girl group that he famously created & managed. The show was originally scheduled to premiere in their hometown in Houston Texas later in the year followed by a premiere in London and then Broadway but they has all been pushed back til 2021 Mathew’s latest book was released earlier in the year called Destiny’s Child The Untold Story followed by Girls Tyme Unreleased Album. The book is avail now for purchase on mathewknowles.com and album on Amazon. Mathew was diagnosed with Stage ONE Breast Cancer back in July. He discovered a tiny red dot on his white t-shirt and thought it was nothing but it appeared again which led him to get tested for the BRCA gene. Mathew had a mastectomy and is currently Cancer-Free but is considering to get another mastectomy on his second breast. Mathew decided to go public about his diagnosis to help save lives since most men would never think to get tested for Breast Cancer. Early detection is so important and has saved his life. Mathew is now happily remarried to former model Gena Avery & has a wonderful relationship with his ex-wife Tina & two daughters and prefers to just be “dad” and “granddaddy” these days.

Byron Galloway Owner Steam Bros LLC Steam Master’s

Byron Galloway's story I needed a part-time job for extra income because my wife and I were expecting our second child.  So, I started helping  a friend who had cleaned carpet for years and we end up starting a company together.  The partnership was short lived and  I soon started my own business ( Elite Carpet Cleaning) with a portable machine and an Astro van. The  business soon started to grow and require me to buy new equipment . During that time my older brother stepped in and helped me acquire a new to me van with a machine in it. That was the beginning of Steam Bros LLC . He continue to help me for 4 years before stepping away from business. I continued to grow the business through quality service and fair pricing. Fast forward a year and half later I acquired Steam Master’s from close friend. Now we service the Triad and Charlotte and some parts of South Carolina. I am a young black entrepreneur that is working to building generational wealth for my family. I want to be an example to  other entrepreneurs and dreamers who are striving to start a business. It is a lot of hard work and sacrifices but it can be done with the right mindset and the right people in your corner.

St. Lemoor, A talented Rapper fighting for his People

As we navigate this CoronaVirus Pandemic, the world has had to press pause and examine the purpose of our living. LeMoor started this quest pre-pandemic by examining the interconnectivity of tribalism, racism, colonialism and capitalism. The catalyst for doing so is a focus on the “evolution of man” and his return to godliness. As we shift to that which is truly relevant through introspection, we begin our return to our culture, customs and the essence of why we exist which enhances our ability to positively impact our community.
