Diddy wants to buy the Carolina Panthers & sign Colin Kaepernick at Quarterback Hip Hop Mogul Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs wants to be the majority owner of the Carolina Panthers. Diddy shared on social media through a series of tweets and videos. This would be the perfect time to buy into the team because it was announced on Friday that the current controlling owner Jerry Richardson is under investigation for sexual harassment misconduct and use of a racial slur directed at a team scout. Richardson announced his intention to sell the team after the season on Sunday. Diddy followed up his initial proclamation by pointing out that there are currently no African-American controlling owners in the NFL. He punctuated that tweet with the declaration, “Let’s make history.” If Diddy became majority owner of the Panthers he would be the first African American NFL owner in the history of the NFL. Diddy also shared on his Instagram page a video saying he will immediately address the Colin Kaepernick situation by starting him as the quarterback. In addition to having some of the most amazing Halftime Shows “when” they go to the Superbowl.

Nahamani is the owner of Nahamani.org. She serves the following roles for Nahamani.org Organizational Development, PR Manager – Foster relationships with client’s and media outlets. Webmaster She was inspired to get into her field of work by her grandfather, the late Ernest J. Waits Sr, “he is a source of inspiration for me in all of my business ventures. As a child I saw him work tirelessly to improve the community through initiatives such as the Magnet School Program, State mandated Minority Inclusion and Corporate Diversity Strategies for Bell Telephone Company. He helped me start my first business, but I wanted to do more to disrupt the trend that most business ventures do not survive the 1st 5 years. I started Nahamani. org to create services that are designed to increase the longevity of business and non-profit entities.”
Over the years I have found that most communities focus solely on business startups. My targeted customers have been in business for 3-5 years and most have hit a growth plateau. I have learned that creating long lasting enterprises requires a mindset change. “What worked yesterday will be obsolete by tomorrow, so it is imperative for businesses to be agile, observant and embrace changes”. In Summer 2017 I was contracted by GCMI, a division of CAA, to teach change management to young professionals who were a part of JCG, a division of CYC. This experience allowed me to pass along the knowledge that I have acquired and teach the summer interns about entrepreneurship, consulting as well as soft skills such as problem solving and working collaboratively. Who do you look up to? My parents, they have overcome obstacles that would have caused most individuals to give up. However their perseverance and resilience gives me the courage to keep pushing through the tough times so that I can enjoy the good times. Where do you see yourself in 5 years? By the year 2022 I plan to be Executive Director of a non-profit entity that engages at-risk youth in job training activities. I would like to open a facility that teaches the youngsters employable skills that they can apply immediately to enhance their employment options and break the cycles of poverty, teen pregnancy and violence.
