In this episode, host Adina Collins interviews Sheila C. Johnson, an influential business owner, philanthropist, and the co-founder of BET (Black Entertainment Television) cable network.
Sheila is the first African American female billionaire and is also the first African American woman to own 3 professional sports teams.
As an innovative entrepreneur, Sheila had the courage to marry her passions in music, entertainment, aviation, sports, and hospitality to launching multiple successful businesses.
She did not wait for business opportunities to her but instead chose to create her own despite barriers she faced as a woman and as an African American.
Understanding the power of ownership helped Ms. Johnson amass great personal wealth and become an influential businesswoman.
