Breonna Taylor was murdered at the start of this

Pandemic by the guns of callous police officers.

The world will never know what her future holds.

For she is not with us to see it through. 😔😔

What’s interesting is the way the media has chosen to

Cover this debacle as it continues to unfold.

As protests began to intensify as society awaited a

Verdict, headlines and articles often centered around

The morality of how people protested and the State’s

Response to it. With this type of coverage, the fact an

Innocent human being’s life was stolen from them

Becomes a counter-narrative and allows for the

Justification of an abuse of authority such as what has

Taken place from every angle regarding this case.

We will leave the legal matters to the experts, but as a

media agency we feel

Compelled to put media outlets on notice.

Journalistic integrity is a term every media outlet

Should be familiar with. The Society of Professional

Journalism lists four major principles at the core of

Ethical journalism:

1️⃣ Seek Truth and Report It

2️⃣ Minimize Harm

3️⃣ Act Independently

4️⃣ Be Accountable and Transparent

Here in the US, big media often fails at all four. 🚯🚯

We believe the lack of representation in media has

Much to do with this. But, it’s important to note the

Significance of ownership in that representation.

What do you think it will take to increase the number of

Black-owned media outlets in the United States??

All ideas welcomed!! 🧠🧠

After retiring from the NBA, Kobe went into storytelling.

His mission was to create stories that showed the

Diversity of athletes for future generations.

was inspired by his daughters who all

Take part in an organized sport, excluding his newborn.

Right after he closed out his career on the court,

He won a for short film .

If Kobe were still here, what stories would you want

To hear told by him and/or his multimedia company??

25/08/2020

Kobe Bryant is one of the greatest athletes of all time.

And, he knew the value of mentorship was so key to

Success that he even sought it on while on the court.

In order to be the best, you must learn from the best.

There’s no way around it.

Tag 3️⃣ people who you consider mentors below. 👇🏾👇🏾

or ?? 🤔🤔

It’s only right that this post falls in both categories.

Yesterday Kobe would have been 42, and the world

Celebrated him and his legacy like never before.

While it’s tough celebrating the first Kobe Day without

His physical presence, his legacy is still blessing us.

All week Nike has releases lined up for Mamba Week.

However, we are most impressed with part of the

Marketing strategy for the x

Kobe V Protro “What If” Pack. ✅✅

It includes two sneakers that ponder a Laker-less Kobe.

One sneaker has the team colors of the 12 teams that

Passed on Bryant. The other sneaker has the Hornets

Team colors, who traded him on draft day. 🙃🙃

Nike selected 24 athletes and/or celebrities to receive

This pack ahead of its August 27th release.

Each person was picked with attention to detail.

Just as Kobe would have wanted. 🙏🏾🙏🏾

Do you think this is a genius strategy?? Yes or no??

We know he’s great musician, but do we know about

His amazing business acumen?? 🧐🧐

It was only right that we honor the genius, visionary,

And mogul for our first ever post.

As of 2019, the average size of the firms investment

Ranged between $100K and $500K. 🤑🤑

Nas and Anthony drop massive jewels in this interview.

What was most compelling for us is how the culture of

Hiphop played a major role into how and why Nas

Started to embark on the world of business and tech.

Two of our Co-Founders have a similar backstory as to

How they wound up in the digital marketing and video

Production industries, respectively. More on that later!!

At Black Crown Media, we feel deeply connected

Hussle and his legacy. Not a single decision we make

Comes before our integrity. Our ultimate goal is to

Increase Black ownership in the film, media, and

Marketing industries and throughout the world by

Extension, respectively. With business ventures like his

All Money In record label, The Marathon Clothing,

Vector90, OurOpportunity, The Marathon Agency,

Marathon OG, his numerous real estate dealings, and

Then some, he undoubtedly knew the power of

Ownership AND diversification. Though the legend is

No longer physically with us, his presence still remains

And there are endless thoughts and conversations he

Will continue to generate. 🏁🏁

Happy Birthday, Neighborhood Nip! 🙏🏾💙

15/08/2020

In an interview with a year before his passing,

Nipsey shared what being self-made meant to him.

Find an excerpt from that interview here: 👀👀

“Being self-made means never making an excuse as to

why you can’t take steps toward whatever your goal is.

There’s always something you can do. You may not

Always have the necessary tools and resources, but

You always have something. Being self-made also

Means being comfortable working with what you have.

It’s about realizing there are different levels throughout

Your journey, and you have to be patient. Most people

Want to skip the process, not knowing that when you

Skip steps, you miss the lessons. If you start small and

Build on what you have, you can continue to multiply

That into something greater, while picking up all of the

Valuable lessons along the way. You learn all of the

Secrets to the game on your way up. If you’re not

Willing to embrace getting it off the curb, you’re going

To fumble anyway once you get your hands on

Something substantial. You will mishandle it, because

You missed all of necessary the steps. Being self-made

Is about embracing the process, knowing that you’re

Going to get all of the valuable jewels that you can’t

Teach someone — wisdom only the game and

Experience can teach you.” 💯💯

We wholeheartedly embrace this at Black Crown.

Do you agree with Nip’s definition of self-made??

14/08/2020

How y’all enjoying this??

If Nipsey were alive, what would you want to tell him??

12/08/2020

For this , we want to keep it true.

And, there aren’t too many more true than Nip Hussle.

Brand authenticity is a major key to longevity!! 🔑🔑

Authenticity helps earns the trust of a consumer.

In an era where people don’t even trust the government

They ironically turn to social media platforms for truth.

Nipsey built up from his days as

A hustler alongside his brother Blacc Sam. 🏁🏁

And they built it on the same corner they hustled on.

Can your brand be anymore authentic than that??

According to a Forbes article from 2019,

Competence, friendliness, product value, and speedy

Service all contribute to customer sentiment.

Basic customer service aspects such as these can

Increase sales by close to 4 percent. 🤑🤑

And 86 percent of people said authenticity helped

Determined which brand they’d do business with.

So, as we continue to celebrate Nipsey during

, never forget to be authentic.

It will speak well of your legacy for sure.
