Tracey Edmonds Launches New Channel + Deion Sanders Gets His Own Show ‘Sports Dads’

Sigh, re: the previous poster’s comment-
This flawed line of thinking is as limited as it is damaging. Um…. Tracy Edmonds has BEEN a business woman. Have you heard of Soul Food? Both the critically acclaimed movie and the show were produced by Tracy. She’s also BEEN doing reality shows, such as College Hill, Keyshia Cole’s, Lil Kim’s and DMX’s for over a decade. It’s fair to say that no one heard of her before she married Babyface 25 years ago. But for the past 25 years she’s been steadily creating an empire. There is nothing wrong with maximizing and creating opportunities for your success. In fact, ANY person who has the access to resources typically unavailable to most minorities who neglects to utilize them in order to create opportunities to advance their gifts, talents and intellect needs a head check. Nepotism makes this world go ’round. Or did you not know that generational wealth is typically how money is accumulated, grown and maintained in this country? If she had gotten it from her parents (a’la Paris Hilton or Rev.Run’s girls) rather than her husband that would have been more acceptable? Babyface may have provided the opportunity for Tracy to get in the door but her talent and skill has kept her there! It’s absolutely ludicrous to assert that a talented, hard-working business woman is a gold-digger because she doesn’t choose to live in a man’s shadow. Kimora may have modeled before but built an empire after marrying Russell. Melinda Gates, after Bill. I hate to soap-box before I’ve had an evening sip of Moscato but geesh! I’m tired of hearing Black women called gold-diggers for doing things that lead women of other races to be called smart, enterprising and shrewd businesswomen. AND how is she using Deion by giving him a show on HER network. If anything, she’s helping him get some coins.
