INTRODUCING DANTE & DOT DA GENIUS
About DANTE:
On the “MIC” she is a different person with a big voice, packaged in a petite frame. DANTE is no stranger to the stage, she has performed in over 30 shows including opening for Trey Songz, rhyming in cyphers with Lil’ Mama, and performing alongside Babs Bunny from the Making the Band series. She has dashed questions of “Can she do it on the grand?” Her buzz is strong and her arrival has been recognized! Dante clearly has a gift that is rare among female emcees—ever so soulful, but vicious with a bite much bigger than a bark can captivate an audience that will erase the initial thoughts when she graces a stage that “all Female rappers aren’t just sex symbols anymore.”
About Dot Da Genius:
Born to Nigerian parents, Oladipo Omishore bares a name that determined a fulfilling life. We know him as the producer behind Kid Cudi’s hit “Day n Nite”, better known in the industry as ”Dot da Genius”, but his destiny knows him as “wealth has come” or more simply put Oladipo in his native language of Yoruba. Born and raised in East New York, Brooklyn!!
During his college years DOT met Kid Cudi, a rapper that had been living in Staten Island. He heard DOT’s music and recorded one record with him before they became a team. DOT brought his beats and production skills to the table and Kid Cudi brought his rhyming skills and creativity. They worked on music continuously, DOT growing as a producer and Kid Cudi as a rapper. This organic union ultimately brought success.
With a club mix to “Day n Nite,” the international interest in the song came and swept him overseas where the song was performed for thousands. DOT was amazed to see that the record was such a success even Australian fans recognized him in the airport. Seeing his success as nothing less than a blessing from God, DOT continues to grind looking forward to executive producing Kid Cudi’s forth coming album, Good Music, nurturing his conglomerate media company Headbanga Muzik Group, and scoring for the next season of Entourage.

Although women’s workforce participation has grown considerably over the last few decades, women still make up a small proportion of top positions in business. Even more importantly, while percentages of elite women leaders occupying senior executive ranks remain low, the representation of African-American women among corporate leaders still seem dim. The real question lies in whether there exists a race or gender gap or rather if African American women specifically face more barriers in the advancement into corporate leadership positions in media specifically the radio industry. By focusing on successful African-American women leaders in corporate leadership positions within the media industry, this study will hopefully examine the challenging myths that exist about their experiences and help them, and others, to better understand how they have advanced and can continue to advance. Specifically the information for this paper is coming from personal interviews with five radio station owners, the goal to reach specifically African American women owners and examine how in the year 2009, corporate leadership positions and media ownership by African American women has not grown, even with the incorporation of diversity programs by the FCC (Federal Communications Commission.) The participants response to this subject involved significant ways to evaluate the reality of the issue and was outlined in different aspects: educational opportunities, status, race, self-esteem, and financial obligations. While each aspect is important to the overall issue, self esteem and financial responsibility were essential in getting to the root of the problem.
Q: Are we in need of more African American women in corporate leadership positions?
A: YES WE ARE!
