MEMPHIS, TN (March 8, 2006) - The National Association of Black Female Executives in Music & Entertainment, Inc., the ultimate network of entertainment industry female powerhouses, has confirmed the launch of an affiliate network in the City of Memphis on March 9, 2006.
Dr. Tonya Butler, a professor at The University of Memphis and entertainment lawyer has been named President of the NABFEME Memphis Network. The new network will raise the profile and elevate the awareness of women of color in the entertainment business in the City of Memphis. NABFEME was formed with a mission to raise the profile and increase the awareness of minority women in music and entertainment. NABFEME accomplishes its mission through activities that foster empowerment, education, mentoring, career development and networking.
According to Dr. Butler, "NABFEME is one of the few networking organizations that instill a sense of pride in yourself, your work and your professional relationships. I have been an active member since the organizations inception, and have been amazed at the level of contacts I am exposed to on a daily basis. Women that you didnt think yourself worthy to be in the same room with, sincerely and openly share their experiences and their strategies for success in the music and entertainment industry. The City of Memphis is fertile ground for the networking opportunities that only NABFEME can offer.
NABFEME is led by volunteer entertainment executives and Memphis joins as number 17 amongst other major cities across the USA who host affiliate NABFEME networks. The NABFEME Memphis Network will hold its "official" kick off reception Thursday, March 9, 2006, from 7:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m., at the Center for Southern Folklore at 119 S. Main Street, Memphis, TN. It is sponsored in part by A & R Barbeque-Hickory Hill, Dbos Buffalo Wings & Things, Equones Catering, Jump Mobile, and Pepsi. Many of Memphis' most accomplished and established music managers, artists, composers, agents, film, television, cable, producers, radio, theater, athletes, attorneys and entertainment executives will attend the very first event of its type in Memphis. Guests will be prominent Memphis entertainment executives and professionals from the State of Tennessee, including corporate and municipal partners. Performances will include NABFEME members, "Radiance" and Memphis duo "Men-nefer."
The Center for Southern Folklore was founded in 1972 by Judy Peiser and Bill Ferris and features the work of various local folk visual artists and an extensive archive of photos documenting Southern history from Rev. L.O. Taylor.
Founded in 1999 by record industry trailblazer Johnnie Walker, NABFEME supports and empowers professional women of color, executives, managers, and technicians in the music and entertainment industries.
