From Barbershops to Bakeries
The Black American Entrepreneur on NJN’s Another View
Tuesday, December 19 at 6:30 pm and Friday, December 22 at 11:30 pm

Trenton, NJ – This month on NJN Public Television, the award-winning African-American public affairs program Another View examines the black American entrepreneur. Black Americans are becoming entrepreneurs at a rapidly increasing rate, but many businesses are unable to keep their doors open for more than a few years. Hosted by Candace Kelley, this edition of Another View, titled From Barbershops to Bakeries, explores what blacks must consider when starting a new business to avoid having to close their doors only a few years into their venture. From the changing economy to changing neighborhoods, the issues that black businesses face today continue to vary. The program includes a discussion of what businesses can do to stay afloat and looks at what the pitfalls are facing most businesses today. Guests include Charmaine, “Cake Diva” Jones, cake creator and entrepreneur; Jasper and Kameesha Saunders, co-owners of A Nu U Barbershop & Hair Salon in Trenton, New Jersey; and Joseph Campbell, president and founder of blacknj.com, the largest networking venue for black businesses in the tri-state area.

Another View airs on NJN the third Tuesday of every month at 6:30 pm and is rebroadcast the following Friday at 11:30 pm. The program reflects the needs, concerns, and interests of New Jersey’s African-American community and communicates important information about current events and issues from an African-American perspective. Since its inception nineteen years ago, Another View has played a vital role in fulfilling NJN’s commitment to providing New Jersey’s diverse population with quality programs and services that educate, inspire, inform and enlighten.

Another View is web cast at njn.net and can be seen on NJN’s JerseyVision, on Comcast Cable and Comcast Digital Cable, and on Time Warner Cable on channel 750 in New York. Closed-captioning is provided.
