Overcoming Every Obstacle - The Story of Brenda Eason, Founder of Black Business Owners Network
I’d like to introduce to you, one of the finest women I know. She is a very talented and determined young lady. She is all about helping people achieve their goals and get to the next level. Her name is Brenda Eason!
Brenda is a loving, and caring mother and great friend to many. She grew up in Washington, D.C., although she is a native of Norfolk, Virginia and has lived there several times throughout her life. She is the oldest of three girls who grew up with a single mother. Unfortunately her mother has passed away, however Ms. Eason is still striving to make her mom proud. She knows that her mom is looking down smiling.
Brenda has overcome so many obstacles throughout her life and career. She is a living testimony having been homeless at one point. She has seen a lot of things that has made her very savvy to most of the things that life has to throw at you. Her motivation and determination kept her from giving up. She kept striving and reaching for more until she made her way to the top. God took her to a place where she never expected to go, but he also brought her out and now she’s better than she was before she went there.
Ms. Eason was born to be a leader. She became an entrepreneur at an early age by owning several businesses by the age of 30. Having done all of that, Brenda’s determination still wouldn’t let her stop there. She believed she still had more to learn about business. Brenda began to search for other entrepreneurs that she could network with and learn from.
This is why she founded the Black Business Owners Network (BBON) located on the web at www.BBON.biz. Brenda had no idea that her personal exploration would turn out to be a powerhouse. Through her hard work and God given talent, she promoted the BBON with everything she had to make it a success.
Ms. Eason’s top three passions in life are empowering African Americans to go for their dreams, business and entertainment. On her newest radio program called Black Empowered, she gets to incorporate all three of these passions. Black Empowered is the Podcast about Business … Entertainment and everything else in between. This is the official weekly podcast of the BBON’s over 47,000 members! It can be found on the web at www.BlackEmpowered.com
In addition to Black Empowered, Ms. Eason is the “Business News You Can Use Reporter” on Careers From The Kitchen Table. A weekly radio program for home-based businesses, which currently has over half a million listeners. Each week she gives out helpful business tips and resources for home based businesses. She has also co-hosted Urban After Dark and now produces the portion of the show dedicated to the BBON.
Her latest project is being the co-founder of Elite Design Art, a family owned art company located on the web at www.EliteDesignArt.com and www.myspace.com/Elite_Design. Art is another big passion of Ms. Eason’s. Elite Design Art has created hundreds of abstract pieces of art. They consist of many celebrity drawings and abstract pieces of art. The portrait art division is the largest of the company. There are many holidays and special occasions in which people come to Elite Design Art to have a portrait drawn.
In recognition of Ms. Eason’s many accomplishments, BIG The Magazine featured her on the cover of their November issue. She has also received many awards in recognition of her success including the Small Business Networking Award. Ms. Eason is currently focusing her energy on being a motivational speaker and believes that her story of going from the bottom to the top will be very inspiring for all. Dreams really do come true!
