Circle of Sisters 2016 Presents Some of the Biggest Names in Entertainment at the Jacob Javits Center NYC
New York, NY, October 5, 2016 (Newswire.com) - Circle of Sisters 2016, is even bigger this year in releasing the desired cast of entertainment, health, food, business, women of color, and of course, men. Sister Circles are critical in addressing support from other Blacks in the industry to build upon existing friendships, fictive kin networks, and a sense of community founded upon African American females. A Cultural Infusion was born ten years ago to understand one's self by using Cultural Competency under the framework of mental health and substance abuse. The primary goal was to address or facilitate change that co-occurred as a disordered to best address examples of what distracts the African American from cultural competency. Today, after many successful years of presenting the New York Circle of Sister's events, revelations and new directions have taken African Americans to an atmosphere where people are free to build and dream better business models as leaders. The incorporation of Black culture and cultural identity is an organizational function best described by AARP New York & hosted by Emmis New York's WBLS-FM 107.5, your #1 source for R&B, 1190 WLIB-AM, your home for Gospel & Inspiration, and WQHT-FM HOT 97, Where Hip Hop Lives.
