Who's Who
Moderator - Jennifer Heslop
 Jennifer's
career includes 21 years of experience in the media and entertainment
business working for MTV, VH1 TV, WBLS/WLIB and WWRL Radio, S.OB.S World
Music Club and several other companies as well as her own creative
pursuits as a published writer, singer, and designer. As a
creative individual and yearning to be self expressed, she was always
searching for "The Job", the one that was her calling.
.
Upon
realizing that many creatives of this generation lack a motivational
force that helps hone their abilities and develops their talent to a
marketable platform, Jennifer was inspired to start motivateArt,
a professional creative services agency that crystallizes special skill
sets into potential. motivateArt pushes the Artist to supersede their
own personal expectations by providing the resources for success. Business organization, PR/marketing, social media placement, goal setting and administrative support are the services motivateArt offers to secure the success of every client. Motto: You do the art, I'll handle your business.

her personal struggles with depression and the impact the stigma of
mental illnesses have particularly on the African-American community.. Her

the Ad Council's and SAMHSA's Campaign of Mental Health Recovery. To

advertising space and 11 million media impressions to significantly

DJ STORMIN' NORMAN "Minister of Music"
Founder of Sundae Sermon,
DJ Stormin' Norman originally hails from East London, UK and is now a
resident of Harlem, USA. In the 90's, he was part of a groundbreaking DJ
collective who brought the Thunderstorm Mix on WBLS 107.5FM NYC,
introducing live mixing to daytime radio previously reserved for weekend
nights broadcasted from night-clubs, setting a new precedent in
national radio. For over 20 years, he's played major New York clubs,
exclusive downtown spots, elite private events and world touring. Most
importantly, he's committed to his community. A Harlem resident for over
15 years, he's passionate about constructively contributing to it's
current renaissance. "There are a lot of Harlemites who have to venture
downtown or to other boroughs for this kind of experience, but would
much rather support and celebrate our own neighborhood and network."
Angie Hancock is the founder and president of Experience: Harlem,
a multimedia marketing company that brings together businesses and
Harlem's growing affluent residents. She graduated from the University
of Illinois with a bachelor's degree in accounting, and then worked as a
certified public accountant at Ernst & Young for three years before
joining Sara Lee in 1995. She obtained a master's in business
administration from the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern
University in 2002, while still at Sara Lee.
Hancock's
corporate success came at a high price. "I had a couple of burnouts
along the way," she says. "It was unrewarding and so unfulfilling." She
launched Experience: Harlem in 2005. Hancock sends a promotional guide
and e-blasts every quarter to more than 20,000 households, with
information on local businesses and cultural institutions. She plans to
expand her coverage to other areas. Advertisements in her print and
electronic publications and customized marketing programs she designs
for corporate clients provide her income. She's working harder than ever
before. "[In Corporate America] I was doing well and on the high
potential senior management track, but this is the first time I can say I
love what I do," she says.
