Sisters Own First Black Woman-Owned Art Supplies Manufacturer In U.S.
Sis Art Supply products feature pigments that come in spring and melanin-inspired tones like "Eartha," "Mahalia," "Zaya," and "Assata."
In a pioneering move, two sisters have established the first woman-owned and artist-owned manufacturer of art supplies in the United States, Sis Art Supply.
LM Flowers and her younger sister, Skie Harris, launched this family-owned business. It offers “elegant and rich paint supply products for creatives across the world.” As stated on its website, “We value sisterhood, we value art…with two different styles of art and one mission, to create beauty…All of our products are of the highest quality and curated with creative hearts in mind.”
The sisters meticulously produce small batches of artisanal paints and pigments using traditional methods and premium ingredients. “Our paints are for creatives, wanderers, designers, and makers,” Sis Art Supply stated about its uniquely crafted colors. “They are for people looking for something different, people who are inspired by nature, and dreamers.”
Sis Art Supply’s range of products includes watercolor palettes, acrylics, paint brushes, and art pads. Their pigments come in primary, spring, and melanin-inspired tones like “Eartha,” “Mahalia,” “Zaya,” and “Assata,” which are available as coloring agents for artists to create their own paints.
On the company’s Instagram, followers raved about their favorite products. One user praised the “jumbo paint set. I adore all the shades of brown that allow me to blend the perfect skin tones! Best part is a little goes a long way; the quality of the paint is unmatched. Hands down, my favorite paint brand, and it’s a plus-plus that it’s Black women-owned!!” Another agreed on loving “all the shades of brown! I love the pigments of the colors! I want a travel watercolor set and some other items I’ve had my eye on!” The gloss 12-color set is a favorite for other art customers as it offers an easy mix and full coverage.
Flowers, a self-taught illustrator and visual artist, describes herself as “a creative for creatives.” As noted on her personal website, her artistic pursuits span content creation, cartooning, and children’s book publishing. Harris, a mom of three with a B.S. in Fine Arts, has forged her path as an educator, illustrator, and visual artist.

Create A Marketing Dream Team To Brand Your Product
If you get marketing right, you can drive sales, increase brand recognition, and establish a foundation of enduring success; get it wrong and your company is probably in trouble.
Originally Published June, 28, 2017
Marketing is one of the most critical elements of your business. If you get marketing right, you can drive sales, increase brand recognition, and establish a foundation of enduring success; get it wrong, and your company is probably in trouble. The key to every business is improving your marketing.
Therefore, your marketing team’s effectiveness is extremely important. Companies that build motivated, highly competent marketing teams can achieve significant advantages over their rivals, leading to more sales and increased profitability.
However, good marketing teams, like anything else, require a substantial investment of time and effort. Here are some proven ways you can improve your marketing staff, and add to your company’s bottom line today.
Hire and Retain the Right People
One of the best ways to ensure you have an optimal marketing team is to hire the right people from the start and ensure everyone on the team is value-added. You should seek out experienced sales representatives with a demonstrated track record, preferably in your company’s line of business.
While training and education are extremely important (see below), your company will get a greater return on investment if the sales representatives you hire are already competent to start with.
You should also look for people who have the skills to market effectively in today’s business environment. Since so many leads and sales are generated through online marketing these days, for example, knowledge on managing social media presence, placing online ads, and search engine optimization (SEO) are essential skills for your sales staff.
So take the time to review résumés, ask the right questions, and ensure any potential hires have what it takes to make a difference on your sales team.
Also, managers or small business owners should always look carefully at the performance of marketing team members, and be willing to make hard choices when it comes to staff that aren’t cutting it. Recent studies indicate that managers spend far too much time attempting to coax a better performance out of the bottom 20% of their marketing staff.
Invest In Your Marketing Team
Hiring talented sales staff is the foundation of building an effective marketing team, but it isn’t enough; you must continue to invest in each marketing team member and the team itself, to gain and maintain a competitive advantage over your competitors.
Consider establishing an orientation program for new marketing hires so they understand all aspects of your company; this will make them much more effective when designing marketing content like ads, or when they interact with potential clients.
Also, consider having your marketing staff members attend training conferences, workshops, or classes so that they develop new skills to be more effective. If your company has the resources, consider funding advanced education opportunities for marketing team members with the most potential, so they can contribute even more to the company after earning advanced degrees and certifications.
Investing in your marketing staff will not only improve their skill level but can also lead to increased employee motivation, performance, and loyalty.
Help Improve Your Marketing Teams Collaboration
One of the best ways to ensure your marketing team is as effective as possible is to make certain that they are a team in the first place. Help set conditions so that everyone on your marketing team can work together, collaborate, develop a shared vision, and ultimately, be in the best position to achieve your company’s marketing objectives.
The marketing team should have sufficient workspace to meet, collaborate on projects, and share ideas; an open office environment may be a particularly effective way to instill a shared mission and team spirit in your marketing staff.
Additionally, you should ensure your marketing team has the right tools to collaborate effectively. Virtual meeting applications, such as Skype, Zoom, or Microsoft Teams, are critical for the team to share information, even when team members aren’t in the same location.
Software that allows your marketing staff to share files and collaborate on projects, such as Dropbox or Evernote, is extremely important as well. Mobile devices that help your employees leverage collaborative tools like these are also investments worth your consideration.
Finally, remember to consider low-tech collaborative tools when working to improve your marketing team; for example, simply adding whiteboards in your marketing staff’s office spaces can increase creativity and foster a shared sense of mission when it comes to problem-solving.
Monitor, Measure, and Postmortem Everything
As important as hiring the right people and investing in them is, equally critical is monitoring their performance. Your company needs to monitor the performance of the marketing team as a whole and individuals. You should also track lead development, sales, and effective marketing campaign contributions closely.
Doing so can help you make critical decisions about your marketing staff and your overall marketing strategy. Additionally, following any major marketing effort such as a sale, a new ad campaign, or a venture into online content and social media, you should ruthlessly postmortem the event.
A postmortem is essentially an after-action review of the event to determine the overall intent of the marketing activity, whether it achieved the intent, and what worked well and what didn’t. Postmortems can help you make decisions about future events and will also help improve your marketing team so they are even more effective in future endeavors.
Keeping easily accessible files on sale activity, marketing performance, and postmortems can help further educate new team members during orientation and will aid in overall company transparency.
Final Thoughts on Effective Marketing Teams
A competent, cohesive, highly skilled marketing team is critical to developing the attributes your business needs to grow and prosper.
Managers, particularly those in small businesses with limited resources, need to take the time and effort to build marketing teams that can truly make a return on their investment. Hire the right people with the right skills, invest in their training, and give them the tools to collaborate more effectively as a team. Monitor everything that your marketing team does, and always seek to improve the team’s efficiency and effectiveness.
Your investment in a competent marketing team today will drive future sales and profits, and ensure your company’s success over the long term.
Skills do not materialize in a vacuum—they must be cultivated.
Originally Published Aug. 11, 2015.
You’ve probably heard this question plenty of times before: Are leaders born or made? The answer: Well, it all depends on who you ask.
Interestingly enough, the theories that support either position have evolved over time. The archaic “Great Man Theory” asserts that only some people are born with innate traits that make them capable of leading. Thankfully, it has long been debunked and you can probably guess why.
Skills do not materialize in a vacuum—they must be cultivated. When they are, they form the key components of what researchers have termed “leadership complexity.” It is the true nature of how leaders evolve that makes the answer to this age old question so painfully obvious. Indeed, leaders are made and not born.
Here’s why.
There’s the whole “crucible” thing
People rarely develop leadership acumen without first experiencing a “crucible” or an intense, transformative experience that impacts their thinking, behavior, and ultimately leadership success. While the nature of these experiences vary in scope, the fact is that they must occur. These experiences shape your perspective and how you navigate the world around you. They ensure that a certain degree of learning takes place—sometimes even a complete overhaul—such as a paradigm shift.
It’s impossible for anyone to be born with these experiences. They can only occur as you interact with the world around you.
Selecting the terms “adaptive and perceptive qualities” suggest some degree of learning is required
The idea that leaders must be able to perceive nuances and adapt their thinking and behavior to a wide range of circumstances suggests that learning through prior experience is a prerequisite of the leadership status. How can you know what to do if you’ve never done it before? How can you possibly be any good at it? How do we learn how to navigate the world from birth? We certainly don’t come out knowing any of it. The path to leadership is certainly no different. Through trial and error you learn the best practices or create new ones that work.
Emotional Intelligence is the cornerstone of effective leadership
Just like any other skill set, emotional intelligence is learned over time. Leaders are at their best when they possess a healthy combination of self-awareness, self-regulation, social skills, motivation, and empathy. These skills are absolutely fundamental to effective leadership. What’s clear is that no one is born having fully mastered any them. In fact, we only learn them vis-a-vis our relationship with others. Through observation, interpretation, interaction, and taking action, we establish a greater understanding of what these things mean. We reflect, evaluate, and conclude. Right, wrong, or indifferent, we also make decisions based on the knowledge we acquire in this process.
If you’ve ever questioned the evolution of leadership, it’s understandable. Theories and researchers have pondered it for hundreds of years. But, from a practical perspective, consider this: if we’re not born with it (and we aren’t), all signs point to it being a skione that is learned and developed over time.
'Can you guess the age of the kid who produced ‘Champagne Moments’? 16. That’s right. 16 years old, little man’s 16 years old and he’s the son of famed director Benny Boom.'
After Compton rapper Kendrick Lamar threw a subtle diss toward J. Cole and Drake, several songs have been aimed at Drake, with one being done by Miami-based recording artist Rick Ross. He released a song titled “Champagne Moments,” and with the recent debut of the accompanying video, Ross revealed the producer who laid the background music for the song.
According to a video clip posted by HipHopDx from Ross’ Instagram Stories, Ross tells his followers that the music for “Champagne Moments” was produced by a 16-year-old. Not only is he just a teenager, but he is related to a legendary hip-hop video director, Benny Boom. He goes by the moniker “Mini Boom.”
“Can you guess the age of the kid who produced ‘Champagne Moments’? 16. That’s right. 16 years old, little man’s 16 years old, and he’s the son of famed director Benny Boom. Yeah, he go by the name Mini Boom. So much love! Y’all show little homie some love. Boss.”
Benny Boom has directed many videos with artists like 50 Cent, Busta Rhymes, Sean Paul, Waka Flocka Flame, Snoop Dogg, P Diddy, Nas, Keyshia Cole, and Rick Ross. He also directed the Tupac biopic, All Eyez On Me.
The subject of Ross’ disdain in “Champagne Moments” recently took his “Taylor Made Freestyle” song off all streaming platforms after the estate of Tupac sent a cease and desist letter. In the song, Drake used an A.I. version of Snoop Dogg and Tupac’s voice within the track. Although Snoop apparently had no issues with using his voice, Tupac’s estate took action to stop the illegal use.
Howard E. King, the estate’s lawyer, called Drake’s use of Tupac’s voice in his diss track “a flagrant violation of Tupac’s publicity and the Estate’s legal right” and “a blatant abuse of the legacy of one of the greatest hip-hop artists of all time.”
The Canadian recording artist removed the song within 24 hours of receiving the notice.
Colorado Quarterback Shedeur Sanders Sells $15K Worth Of Merchandise At Pop-Up Event
For 90 minutes, the football star interacted with fans gathered at Peckish restaurant in Colorado
The star power of University of Colorado Boulder quarterback Shedeur Sanders was evident when he appeared at a pop-up retail event on University Hill in Colorado on April 27. There, he sold nearly $15,000 worth of his clothing brand, SS2 Legendary.
Deion Sanders’ son arrived at the event in a $100,000 Tesla Cyberbeast to a waiting crowd ready to hang out with him and purchase merchandise from his clothing line. He was scheduled to be at Peckish, a chicken wing restaurant, for three hours, and some fans waited an hour for him to appear. He did stay there for more than 90 minutes.
“One thing he understands is he has to touch base with the people,” Sanders’ business partner Bam Hogue said. “He has to deal with the people. He’s not just about social media. It’s about actually meeting people in real life and meeting your supporters.”
On3 has reported that Shedder’s NIL (name, image, and likeness) valuation is $4.6 million, which places him at number one among college athletes. He also has 1.8 million Instagram followers.
The items fans could purchase at the pop-up ranged from $40 shirts ($60 for long sleeves), hoodies and football jerseys sold for $80, trucker hats could be purchased for $40, and wristbands for $10. Hogue mentioned that Shedeur has a licensing deal with the University of Colorado Boulder. Using the school’s logo, he has to pay around 12% royalties for anything they sell.
The moment wasn’t lost as videographers filmed the event, and fans were asked to sign releases for what may be the third season of the Coach Prime series that appears on Amazon Prime video.
There are plans for more pop-ups as Shedeur prepares for what may be his last collegiate season. If he continues to play at the level he has for the past several seasons, he is slated to be a first-round NFL draft pick in 2025.
1982 Cheyney State Team Honored At Basketball Hall of Fame
Cheyney University’s staff is believed to be the first coaching staff composed entirely of Black women to compete in a women's national championship game.
The 1981-1982 Cheyney University women’s basketball team made history in 1982 as the first and only HBCU to ever appear in a NCAA Division 1 national championship game. Pennsylvania’s Cheyney State, as it was then known, is the oldest HBCU in America. Coached by Hall of Famer C. Vivian Stringer, the team went into the first-ever women’s NCAA tournament on a 20-game win streak and defeated Auburn, North Carolina State, Kansas State, and Maryland en route to a championship game against Louisiana Tech.
As NY 1 reports, the team was selected for enshrinement in this year’s Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame class as the “Trailblazer of the Game.” Valerie Walker, one of the star players on the team, questioned what took so long for the team’s induction, telling the outlet, “We are very thankful, but 42 years? When you want to really understand and know about the history of women’s NCAA championships, you have to go back to the first year.”

As reported by the Knox News, in another first, Cheyney University’s staff, led by Stringer, is believed to be the first coaching staff composed entirely of Black women to compete in a women’s national championship game. Walker also spoke with the outlet about what being inducted as a trailblazer meant to her. “We’re trailblazers because they told us that we couldn’t do it. You’ve got to always talk about the first,” said Walker before alluding to the exploding popularity of women’s basketball. “You can’t talk about the NCAA Final Four unless you talk about Cheyney. Had they talked about us sooner, who knows, we might be forgotten right now. But I think the moment is now with this weekend and what’s to follow.”
Yolanda Laney, another star member of the 1982 team, told the outlet that she is glad that she has lived to see her flowers presented to her. Laney’s daughter is New York Liberty star forward Betnijah Laney-Hamilton. “It is good to get your flowers while you’re still alive,” Laney said, “because it’s been 40 years … long overdue.” Laney also reflected on her coach’s Hall of Fame career, noting that it all started at Cheyney. “Cheyney was first. Cheyney is where it all began. My teammates have told her (Stringer) and she said it herself: She’s Cheyney-made. And I know we’re the No. 1 team, since it all started there at Cheyney. She won’t say that, but we’ll say it for her.”
Walker believes that Stringer, who coached Iowa from 1983-1995, may even have brought the school a title if not for the death of her husband. Iowa has received attention over the last few years due to the play of Caitlin Clark, which Walker told Knox News brought renewed attention to Stringer and her tenure at the university. “So then they had to go back and do their research to find out, no, Iowa was really good. Had her husband not passed, I’d say Iowa might have won a Final Four or two.”
Walker continued, “She probably doesn’t get enough recognition. But the thing is, her peers know who she is. And it’s sad to say … I’m sure whenever she leaves this side of earth, she’ll get a whole lot of flowers and people will say, ‘I don’t know.’ And it’s OK.”
One person who hasn’t forgotten the impact and importance of both Stringer and Cheyney is South Carolina Gamecocks head women’s basketball coach Dawn Staley. In 2023, Staley wore Laney’s number 44 jersey during a second-round game of the women’s March Madness tournament, sparking a conversation about the team and giving the team more recognition.
Laney told Knox News that Staley told her that wearing the jersey felt like the right thing to do. “She just said it was the right thing to do, and it was long overdue for us as far as the history that we made 40 years ago to come to light. It meant a great deal,” Laney said. “She brought a lot of light back to Cheyney’s history.”
Minneapolis Settles With George Floyd Witness For $150,000
The fallout from the murder of George Floyd alone, has so far, carried a nearly $50 million price tag for the City of Minneapolis
The City of Minneapolis settled with Donald Williams, a 35-year-old mixed martial arts fighter and an eyewitness to the murder of George Floyd, who tried to prevent it. Williams’ $150,000 payment was unanimously approved by the Minneapolis City Council and they declared it merited no discussion. Williams alleges that he still has PTSD as a result of witnessing Floyd’s last moments.
Williams’ lawsuit, which he filed against the city in 2023, alleges that he was assaulted by the police while attempting to prevent the death of Floyd in 2020. According to the lawsuit, Derek Chauvin, the white police officer who kneeled on Floyd’s neck for nine minutes, pointed a can of chemical spray at Williams and others who were concerned for Floyd, threatening to use it on them.
Another officer, former police officer Tou Thao, then stepped towards Williams and put his hand on his chest. Williams alleged that the combined actions of the officers made him afraid for his safety, and he also endured pain, suffering, humiliation, and embarrassment and incurred medical expenses.

As the Minneapolis Star Tribune reported,d\ the settlement represents the reckoning with the Minneapolis Police Department amid a Department of Justice investigation into the department’s discriminatory policing practices. The fallout from the murder of George Floyd alone has, so far, carried a nearly-$50 million price tag.
As The Guardian reported, Williams’ testimony during the trial of Derek Chauvin was critical to the prosecution’s case, notably his MMA background and knowledge of wrestling and the effects chokeholds have on the human body. Williams told the outlet in 2021 that what he witnessed left him traumatized. “I’m dealing with stuff, with trauma. We all are. Everyone who watched that. We’re all dealing with it. It’s trauma.”
At the trial, Williams recalled his reasoning for calling in what he witnessed, saying, “I called the police on the police,” he stated. When asked why by lawyers, he responded: “Because I believe I witnessed a murder.”
Williams continued, telling The Guardian after being asked if he feared for his safety since the murder of Floyd, “Am I fearful for my safety? Of course, I’m fearful for my safety. I’m a Black man in America.”
Mary J. Blige’s Strength Of A Woman Summit Launches $100K Fund To Support Women
Mary J. Blige is giving back to women within her hometown of Yonkers, NY, in a big way.
Mary J. Blige is bringing her “Strength of a Woman Festival and Summit” to her hometown of New York City and launching a $100,000 fund to support women within the community that raised her.
The Grammy-winning singer made a surprise appearance at Westchester Community College on April 25 as part of the Pepsi x Strength of a Woman Community Day, where she announced the Pepsi x Mary J. Blige Strength of a Woman Community Fund. With Pepsi returning as a co-presenter of Blige’s annual festival and summit, the $100,000 fund will be allocated as grants to non-profit organizations that support underserved women in Yonkers, New York.
Created in collaboration with United Way of Westchester and Putnam, the fund aims to give back to Blige’s hometown by fostering community resilience. Grants will be given in amounts ranging from $5,000 to $20,000 to Yonkers-based non-profits focused on uplifting disadvantaged, marginalized women or those struggling financially.
It’s the first time Blige has hosted her burgeoning Strength of a Woman Festival and Summit in NYC and Pepsi sought to bring the event’s purpose of empowerment, elevation, and education for women to the same city the R&B icon grew up in.
“Pepsi has been an incredible partner for the Strength of a Woman Festival and Summit since the start. Now, with their support, being able to come home to Yonkers to give back to and invest in the community I grew up in is all I’ve ever wanted,” Blige said.
“We hope to provide resources for local organizations striving to support and uplift women for even greater impact this year.”
In addition to the fund, PepsiCo Foundation also donated $50,000 to the YWCA of White Plains & Central Westchester, United Way of Westchester, and Putnam and Westchester Community College Foundation to help support and amplify the local community.
Applications for the Pepsi x Mary J. Blige Strength of a Woman Community Fund can be submitted online by June 1, 2024 at www.uwwp.org/pepsi-soaw.
Appeals Court Upholds R. Kelly’s Child Pornography And Sex Crimes Charges
R. Kelly's attempt to appeal his 20-year sentence on sex crime and child pornography charges has been denied.
R. Kelly’s attempt to appeal his 20-year sentence on sex crime and child pornography charges has been denied.
On Friday, April 26, the Chicago federal appeals court ruled to uphold Kelly’s lengthy sentence for child pornography and enticement charges. The disgraced singer’s legal team attempted to say his charges had passed the statute of limitations.
However, the appeals court denied the appeal, which was submitted in February, citing how the “statute says otherwise, so we affirm his conviction.” The statute of limitations for sex crimes against children lasts for the rest of the victim’s lives.
Kelly’s appeal came one year after he was sentenced to 20 years on convictions involving six counts of child pornography and enticement for allegedly forcing minors into sexual encounters. His 20-year sentence in Chicago doesn’t include the 30 years he was sentenced to in New York City on counts of racketeering and violating the Mann Act by trafficking women across state lines.
To his benefit, a Chicago judge ruled last year that 19 of Kelly’s 20-year sentence could run concurrently with his 30-year sentence. This means the “I Wish” singer would only serve 31 years in prison.
His Chicago convictions stemmed from five testimonies from people who claimed they were sexually abused by Kelly in the 1990s when they were minors. During his Chicago trial, Kelly heard 45 victim statements, including 11 from people who said they were physically or sexually abused by the “I Believe I Can Fly” singer.
Kelly has maintained his innocence and pleaded not guilty to all charges. His lawyer released a statement about the singer’s plans to continue fighting the convictions.
“Our fight is not over. We will see a review from the USSC (SCOTUS) on the statute of limitations questions at a minimum,” Jennifer Bonjean told TMZ. “And he has habeas remedies at his disposal. And if we win in NY. He will be entitled to resentencing in Illinois. So this story is far from over.”
