Tavis Smiley chronicles bittersweet adventures of his 20-year journey in broadcasting

by Sandra Varner Insider Entertainment Columnist Globetrotting on a multi-city book tour promoting his latest tome, Fail Up: 20 Lessons on Building Success from Failure (ISBN-13: 9781401933906, Hay House), author Tavis Smiley, national media personality, entrepreneur and philanthropist openly shares some of his most memorable accounts of two decades in broadcasting with audiences of all stripes.

When I spoke with him, he had just held an audience of business and civic leaders, colleagues and students at rapt attention, appearing vigilant about world affairs and the day-to-day preoccupations of working-class Americans.

During opening remarks he opined, “I look back on this journey along with the fact that this book is being released now, this year of 2011, on the occasion of my 20 years in the broadcast business. The lessons that

I’ve learned along the way are primarily by making missteps, miscalculations and missed cues. Anyone who is --or has been-- successful in any human endeavor will tell you that [if they are being honest] they learn much more when they are failing than they ever learned from their successes.”

At the center of his career confessions is a mantra that consists of three simple words: faith, family and friends. It is at this point, where I began our conversation Sandra Varner (Talk2SV): In Fail Up, you say three words have become a mantra for you: faith, family and friends. I’d like to suggest another “F” word, “failure.”

While we typically are encouraged to believe that failure is not an option, for you, it seems that failure has been an option. So, could we extend the list to faith, family, friends and failure?

Smiley: I like that and I’ll take that. You’re right.

Recently, I was in a conversation about the notion that Continued on page 6

MILWAUKEE PASTOR PRESENTS THE RIVETING NEW STAGE PLAY “NO DADDY” BY: Sadie James smjjambur@aol.com Local Pastor Martha Austin of Still Waters International Ministries and

Destiny Productions is the writer, producer and director of the riveting new stage play

“No Daddy”. Hupy & Abraham, S.C. is the presenting sponsor.

“No Daddy” is about the life of Tina, a young girl growing up in a home without a father. Life isn’t always easy for her and it’s something she can’t understand.

She often blames the absence of her father whenever she encounters harsh situations. Tina’s classmate Romelle has issues with an alcoholic mother and no father in his household which causes him to viciously act out against the troubled Tina.

Will Tina be a victim and allow the absence of her father to have a stronghold on her for the rest of her life or will she be able to break the grip and become successful? This play will keep you on the edge of your

Page­5 The­Insider­News­Wisconsin,­June­1-15,­2011

seat as you watch Tina’s life unfold from “Victim to Victory”.

The play was inspired by the book “No Daddy?!” written and self-published by Shontina Gladney. The performances of actors Jodine Basterash, Antonia Ford, Robin Adkins, Chasity Washington, Keziah Robinson, El–Amin Abdullah and slew of other phenomenal cast members will move your heart and perhaps provide some clarity for those who have found themselves in similar situations. Take a long hard look at “No Daddy”. It will cause you to take a long hard look at yourself.

As you can see, Pastor Austin is more than a Pastor to her congregation. She is a Pastor to the people, the broken hearted, the wounded, the ill and the lost. She founded Still Waters Baptist Church in August of 2000. As she grew in Christ, her mind was opened to reaching more souls outside of her denomination causing her to change the name of the church to Still Waters International Ministries (S.W.I.M).

In 2010 she founded Destiny Productions, a theatrical Christian based production company derived from S.W.I.M. She has produced plays such as “The Gift” and of course, her newest creation “No Daddy” “No Daddy” has performances scheduled in three major cities, Minneapolis, Milwaukee and Chicago. Catch a Milwaukee performance June 3rd 4th or 5th at the Performing Arts Center, Vogel Hall, 123 East State Street in downtown Milwaukee. For tickets go to www.MarcusCenter.org or call 414 2737206.

several semesters. He was voted in as President of the Black Student Union and graduated with honors in May with a bachelor’s degree in history. He was recognized by Phi Alpha Theta, the National History Honorary Society. Anton has been accepted by the prestigious, traditionally black Howard University Master’s in History program where, if he can find the roughly $10,000 per semester tuition, he will enroll this fall.

“I am passionate about my education and I know that I will be held accountable, as it relates to how I teach generations that come behind,” said House.

And what would you say to the others who heard from every direction that they’re destined for drugs, crime violence and prison? “Do not let anyone tell you who you are,” Anton said. “Define yourself. Never let someone tell you what you cannot do. Educate yourself.”

You Can Help!

Anton House overcame the misfortune of being born into a drug dealing family, social disadvantage and bad choices leading to criminal convictions and prison time only to graduate from college with honors. Now he’s been accepted into one of the nation’s most prestigious master’s degree programs. It appears that nothing can stop him.

Except, the road to an education that could make him a particularly honorable scholar, activist and role model, Anton is broke.

The honors graduate and president of the Black Student Union has got $48,125 in undergraduate debt at a staggering 29.6 percent interest rate. Tuition in his two-year master’s degree runs $10,000 per semester for a total of at least $120,000, not including books and fees. Fortunately, Anton’s aunt lives within blocks of campus and is willing to allow him to stay with her.

Racine Vocational Ministry has established the Anton House Education Fund. Checks may be made out to the fund c/o Racine Vocational Ministry, 214 7th St., Racine, WI 53403. Volunteers also will be knocking on the doors of the most influential individuals and organizations locally. Schatzman encourages those who would like to step up to call him at (262) 633-8660.

Schatzman said, “It would be a tremendous tragedy to overlook, this is an opportunity to fund a future leader of our community and possibility our country. If this doesn’t happen, not to happen for simply the lack of tuition – It would be the wrong thing to do.”

failure is not an option. Actually, failure is an option. I understand the sentiment behind it, but ultimately anyone who succeeds does so only through a litany of failures. This book lays out my own personal narrative about the role that failure has played in my life. Essentially, what I’ve come to conclude is that we have to see failure as a friend; failure isn’t final and it doesn’t have to be fatal. If I were to offer a synonym for the word ‘failure,’ it would be ‘preparation.’ That’s what failure really is, its preparation. As I look back on my life, my career, I’ve seen how all these failures prepared me for the very next step. As I say in the book, sometimes rejection is redirection, so I’ve just come to look at failure differently. Now, it’s hard to see this when you’re going through the situation, but, with 20 years in the broadcast business, I see things now that I didn’t see then and I’m just trying to share them with other people.

Talk2SV: Of the many lessons we all learn through failure, as well as lessons learned through life’s circumstances, we learn that “we” don’t know everything. You have had a rapid ascension into a successful career, still a relatively young man. In retrospect, how have you assessed this period of rapid ascension?

Smiley: I want to go back to those “F” s you mentioned: faith, family and friends.

I’ve been very fortunate, yet another ‘F’ word. I’ve been so fortunate and blessed. In l996, the year I started on the Tom Joyner Morning Show (syndicated radio) as a commentator and as a talk show host on Black Entertainment Television Network (BET), my career has been like a rocket going into outer space. The trajectory, the propulsion and the velocity of the take off from 1996 was pretty amazing. To your point, things happened pretty quickly: television, radio, books, best-selling books, State of the Black Union summits, magazine covers, accolades, awards, honorary doctorate degrees…I mean, things really took off pretty fast after 1996. As I look back on it, I didn’t realize that I had had so many failures; I didn’t realize I’d failed so many times. I didn’t realize I’d made so many mistakes because there was a great deal of success during that period and over the last twenty years. Looking back on all of it, most of my big successes followed massive failures. For example, when I got fired by BET, it opened up the door to ABC to CNN to NPR to PBS; all those doors were opened up after I got fired by BET.

Fair Disputes Citation Issued by Racine Police Department “It

is so one-sided and slanted that I am concerned about their true motives.”

Keith Fair

Keith Fair, an Alderman and a downtown bar owner, will contest being cited with an ordinance violation for disorderly conduct. Fair recently pleaded not guilty to the charge in traffic court at the Law Enforcement Center, 717 Wisconsin Ave. A fine of $283.50 would have been imposed if Fair had not pleaded “not guilty”.

Fair allegedly yelled and threatened an employee of Flowers by Walter around 7:30 pm, April 23, 2011 behind The Place on Sixth, located at 509 Sixth St., according to a police report. Now the matter is scheduled to go to trial on July 13, 2011.

A disorderly conduct law makes it a crime to be drunk in public, to "disturb the peace", or to loiter in certain areas.

Many types of unruly conduct may fit the definition of disorderly conduct; as such statutes are often used as "catch-all" crimes. Police may use a disorderly conduct charge to keep the peace when people are behaving in a disruptive manner to themselves or others, but present no serious public danger. Disorderly conduct is typically classified as a violation or misdemeanor.

However according to another nearby municipality, the ordinance is very seldom used after-the-fact, or sent through the mail.

The employee told Racine police that he went to Fair’s bar to ask him to clean up trash around the bar and Fair reportedly "immediately blew up" at him.

The report says the employee told Fair

he was going to tell the mayor that Fair was not doing his job as the district alderman or bar owner and Fair allegedly screamed obscenities at him. The employee also asserts that Fair claimed the city and the mayor weren’t going to do anything to him.

Fair said that he is troubled that the police did not witness the incident first hand, but yet a citation was issued based on the employee’s word. “It is so onesided and slanted that I am concerned about their true motives,” said Fair.

He said that he is also upset that the police arranged a meeting with the flower shop employee the next day and issued him a citation after that meeting.

According to earlier accounts, Fair told police he didn't have a problem with the employee when he approached him civilly in the past to talk about issues but didn't like the employee threatening to take the issue to the mayor.

Fair also accused the police of not conducting a thorough investigation because no one talked to the witnesses inside the bar.

He added that he has also filed a police report regarding the complaint for alleged threats to shoot him with a rifle. After investigating, police concluded Fair's allegations were unfounded.

On Friday, Fair declined to pay the fine.

HUPY & ABRAHAM, S.C.

MOVING TO THE MILWAUKEE CENTER BY: Sadie James smjjambur@aol.com For the past nineteen years, Hupy & Abraham, S.C. has been located in the 100 East Building on the corner of Wisconsin Avenue and Water Street in downtown Milwaukee. Effective June 1, 2011, the law firm is moving to its new location in the Milwaukee Center, 111 East Kilbourn Avenue, Suite 1100, Milwaukee, WI 53202.

The firm’s staff of about twenty employees were the original tenants occupying space on the 11th floor of the 100 East building. Over the years, as the number of clients grew the Milwaukee staff grew to over sixty people. Because of that growth, employees were eventually located on four separate floors of the building.

To make the operation more efficient and bring the staff closer together, the firm decided to move to new office space that has been designed and built specifically for them. The new location in the Milwaukee Center is home to the Intercontinental Hotel, the Milwaukee Repertory Theatre and other prominent law firms.

Attorney Hupy attributes the success that has required the move to the services the firm offers and the results they get for their clients. “We handle many cases, from small routine automobile accidents to million and multimillion dollar cases. Some of our clients have gotten settlements of over $20 million”, said Attorney Hupy.

Because of their success, Hupy & Abraham, S.C. has made financial contributions to many programs in Wisconsin and Illinois. The firm has been a long time supporter of programs that promote education, safety and the elimination of hunger. They have given over to $200,000 to educational scholarship programs, fingerprinted over 9,000 children as part of a child safety program, made contributions to Feeding America and provided thousands of holiday meals to needy families in the communities they serve.
