DaJuan's Sip Of Tee (Executive Director's Commentary)
 

"Oh No My Brotha, You Gotta Get Your Own"

 

I’m not really sure, but I think I might be dating myself with this commentary.  Well, if so, then I guess there is some wisdom in age!  As I was sitting at my desk the other day, I was thinking about the many phone calls, emails and texts I had received alerting me to the fact that there were other groups out there doing cruises using our model, going to the same destination and some at the same time.  I also thought about those same communications alerting me to groups with similar website contents and closely resembling names.  And, now sitting on a Board of one of the county’s largest Black Pride, I thought about how some groups misrepresented themselves as “official.”  All of that in mind, I thought back to the late 80’s and early 90’s BET (Black Entertainment Television) commercial that ran about a hot slow jams album (yes, album – not CD) named “Hey Love”.  In the commercial the album was so hot that the Brotha listening to the album wanted to take it from the Brotha playing it.  So, the Brotha playing the album replied, “Oh No My Brotha, You Gotta Get Your Own!” (click here for Full Story)
