 Támar Talks with Monique Greenwood (Akwaaba Inns Bed and Breakfast, OWN, Former Editor-in-Chief for Essence Magazine) | File Type: audio/x-m4a | Duration: 00:56:57

Thanks to my Sorority Sister Benita, I had the pleasure of meeting Monique Greenwood while living in New York for a short stint.  Mrs. Greenwood is an award winning entrepreneur, native Washingtonian who built her business one bed and breakfast at a time. A dear mentor, friend and big sister to me, Mrs. Greenwood is the owner and chief enjoyment officer of Akwaaba Bed and Breakfast Inns. She says, “The key to running a successful bed and breakfast is having a love for people and wanting to make sure that they had a great experience.” After graduating from Howard University, she began her career as a journalist, eventually becoming the editor-in-chief of Essence Magazine.  “It was the magazine on the coffee table of my home that proclaimed me beautiful as a Black woman,” she said.  And who succeeds the iconic Susan Taylor as editor-in-chief? Monique Greenwood. So one day, Monique decided that she wanted to really grow her bed and breakfast, and left Essence after six years. Though Greenwood didn’t sleep in a bed of her own until she was 22 years old, she has plenty of beds to choose from now with Akwaaba Inns having five locations and close to 40 guest rooms. How did Akwaaba start? Greenwood and her husband of 31 years, Glenn Pogue, opened the first Akwaaba Mansion in Brooklyn, New York, in 1995. Akwaaba by the Sea in Cape May, New Jersey, launched in 2002. After returning home to Washington, D.C. in 2003, she opened Akwaaba D.C., located in Dupont Circle.  The elegant inn is decorated with a literary theme, highlighting her love of books with guest-rooms named after great African American authors like Langston Hughes and Toni Morrison. It was at their Poconos location, now known as The Mansion at Noble Lane, that I was in awe of Moniques' stature, her education, her hospitality and her story. They purchased this location in the Spring of 2006: the first inn they ever visited in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. In 2012, they launched a boutique spa resort in Pennsylvania’s Pocono Mountains called The Mansion at Noble Lane, which is the former estate of F.W. Woolworth. She calls it the jewel in their crown. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/tamartalks/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/tamartalks/support

 Podcast #29: Támar Talks with Attorney Stephanie Hay (Entertainment Attorney) | File Type: audio/x-m4a | Duration: 2589

The Music Industry has seen its constant woes about ownership of Masters. From Sam Cooke to Michael Jackson to Prince to Ray Charles to Taylor Swift, artists have not been silent about the lack of ownership of Masters. As of this week, Mr. Kanye West has taken the conversation global, in a more vigilant way. Not only is he sounding the alarm for other artists to come to the table and talk, but some people are not understanding the totality of what owning your Masters truly means as a form of inheritance. Ashley Tamar interviews Stephanie Hay, a female entertainment lawyer who uncovers three grueling concerns: 1. Why is it important to own your Masters, 2.  What's in Kanye's contract that, to most knowledgeable attorneys, is concerning and, 3. How we can solve this re-surfacing topic and no longer overlook what's periling  artists and the creatives-to-come. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/tamartalks/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/tamartalks/support

 Podcast #26: $$ Assistance 4 Musicians & Artists Impacted by Coronavirus, Hethyr Verhoef Interview (Broadway, Stage Manager), New Single and More | File Type: audio/x-m4a | Duration: 2930

We've all been affected by this pandemic: the Coronavirus. Whether it has affected us mentally, physically, emotionally, or financially, we are all, at the same time, to some degree, perplexed. What's next? Where's the help? Where's our faith and where's can be find peace? In this podcast, I desire to share my reflections on what's happening (from a spiritual perspective) and how we are coping with this pandemic, yet I'm including some helpful tips for my fellow musicians, artists, and creatives as to where to seek financial cushion during this time. I am also sharing an interview from Broadway Stage Manager and my dear friend Hethyr Verhoef about her plight to pursuing her passion in Theatre. From serving tacos at a taco stand and growing up in a foster home, Hethyr knew nothing of the stage management world. It took her spunky personality and patience to get an open door to calling shows such as Broadways' "A Night with Janis Joplin." And of course, on Tamar Talks, we  always launch new music as a "You-heard-it-hear-first" from independent syrens: Ashley Tamar, Alex Isley, Lenora and Mallory. Stay prayed up and watchful. God is still in control. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/tamartalks/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/tamartalks/support
