If you are looking for a ‘good read’ offering ten steps that will change your life, when applied if you’re considering elevating your career in the entertainment industry, this is the book.

Cheryl’s story is essential because of the work she has done in the entertainment business. Historically, the entertainment industry management has been male-driven and not very generous to women, for Cheryl to have blossomed in such an atmosphere speaks volumes of her passion, talent, and willpower. Cheryl’s new book is evidence of her giving heart. While the book has a catchy title, “Dirty Lil Secrets,” the content is geared towards assisting individuals to minimize risks. The bottom line is that if you are equipped and abundantly understand the entertainment industry, you will make a better decision and avoid a mistake.

In giving you a sneak peek of her book, Cheryl spoke to us about her first of ten chapters. The first chapter sets the expectation that you will be fired while working in the entertainment industry. She teaches people about the different dynamics that go on where you can potentially lose your job. Some of the factors include record labels obtaining new management that will bring in their team, so you no longer fit in the company’s vision. Collateral damage is almost a guaranteed label you will wear at one time or another as an artist or entertainment employee.

Cheryl’s purpose is to get you ready for rejection. Having to deal with rejection can take a toll on individuals and discourage them because they can’t handle rejection.  The entertainment industry is about having to prove yourself repeatedly, but more importantly, it’s about how you rebound and or respond from disappointment.  The beauty of her book comes from her life experiences within the music industry. Cheryl wrote the book to provide you real-life experiences and not a third-party story. She confesses to being fired by the best and being overpowered by all the struggles and roller coaster of emotions. Cheryl touches on the healing aspect and the recovery aspect of life. Being armed with life tools to handle adversity is what she offers in her book.

Henry Nwoko

Henry Nwoko has spent the past six years working with individuals of various backgrounds and athletic ability to help them achieve transformative results. His method utilizes the most fundamental training approaches that prove the most effective in building muscle and losing fat while emphasizing natural Nutrition and supplementation. He has personally spent the last decade mastering his form while gaining strength and achieving a competitive physique while maintaining a deep passion for helping others do the same. In March 2019, he competed for the first time in the NPC/IFBB Governors Cup, classic men’s physique, bodybuilding division in Sacramento, and took first place. With a respectable social media following of over 12 thousand, he is respected for many reasons amongst his fans and followers worldwide because of his positive and motivational approach to everything he does. 

Originally from Nigeria, which is officially the Federal Republic of Nigeria, a sovereign country in West Africa bordering Chad, Niger, Cameroon, and Benin in multiple directions. Nigeria is a multinational state inhabited by more than 250 ethnic groups speaking 500 distinct languages, all identifying with various cultures. While Henry came from a very diverse country, it didn’t make it easier to bypass culture shock as he arrived in the United States. Henry’s family relocated to Chicago, and while he had to get adjusted to a new language and culture, his most vivid memory was the language lingo between different regions in the U.S. 

The love for physical training led him to become a well-respected Certified Personal trainer and Natural Bodybuilder. During his time in college, he was invited to be part of a film project; his friend was entering a film festival and needed actors. Henry remembers being mesmerized by the process of film making and appreciated the hard work it goes into making a movie. When he found out the movie won the festivals’ top award, it was a much better feeling—having been part of his friend’s project planted a seed in him. Some of Henry’s commercial credits include Adidas “Create Positivity” AD campaign National TV commercial and Pepsi/NFL “Ice The kicker” National TV commercial. 

It was not always an easy road for Henry; coming to such a big country like the U.S. can be overwhelming, and a lot of immigrant parents might have a different idea than yours on a career path. This is true of all ethnicities coming to the U.S., where they would like their child to be an Engineer, Lawyer, or a Doctor instead of an Actor. Henry quickly found out that he needed to live his own life and accept the career choices he made and not live for his parents as it might have been suggested at times.

Prince toe, Sr.

shoe Designer, bodybuilder and book author

In our November 2020 issue, we bring you Prince Toe Sr., born in Monrovia, Liberia, in 1982. Raised by his grandmother and being the firstborn, he learned responsibility at a young age. Prince remembers having to relocate to his mother’s native country at seven years old, Ivory Coast. A child having to relocate can be a positive experience for a family, but it can also have negative implications for the children involved. Relocating to a new home has the most overwhelming impact on kids over the age of 5, as it’s intensely challenging for them to leave behind friends and adjust to a new school during this significant time of development. Having to pick up and move was not mainly a fun experience for Prince Toe; adjusting to a new culture became the norm.

Prince is also a professional natural bodybuilder and published author. Prince’s book is titled “New Age, New Awakening & Your Health Is Your Wealth.” Prince also manages to find the time to be a martial artist, bodybuilder, and soccer player. Prince told Boss Mann magazine that he likes to help others reach their dreams and be around wise, intellectual, and humble people.

Prince Toe embodies the true definition of a Boss Mann; when asked about his description of a Boss Mann, Prince said to Boss Mann magazine that a true Boss Mann must be honest and real. An honorable Boss Mann also needs to be loyal to his team. Taking risk is another Boss Mann trait to be successful; you must be willing to make the tough decision.

When running a business, it is always tricky because there are so many moving pieces; typically, a business owner is his marketing team, P.R. team, operations team, etc… Prince doesn’t just have one but multiple projects he works on. Prince understands it’s a big family sacrifice, not having to be around his wife and kids. Prince often misses his wife, but he does not marinate in self-pity. Instead, he uses that energy to motivate him while traveling.
