ACCORDING to legend, the publisher of world famous
Ebony Magazine, John H. Johnson, at the inception of
publication in November 1945, would encourage his friends and family to go to
the vendors on the streets of Chicago to buy the publication. Mr Johnson had
hoped that as more and more of his friends demanded and bought his magazine,
vendors would be forced to get copies of Ebony to their newsstands.
Ebony
started at the period of racial discrimination in America, so a black-themed
magazine almost had no chance of survival. Though sold recently, Ebony is 71
years. It is important to highlight that Mr Johnson’s
friends and family, by demanding for and buying Ebony from street side vendors
gave the magazine a chance, a chance to favourably compete in the difficult
terrain of the times, a chance to still be in circulation. Mr Johnson’s family
and friends are the real winners in the story of Ebony, they are cheerleaders.

With so much social and technological changes, many people have now
taken their destinies in their hands. Perhaps no time in human history as now are
entrepreneurs emerging and business start-ups booming. So many people are
making efforts, burning the proverbial midnight candle, sacrificing and denying
self all in a bid to impact humanity, affect lives and add value to living. Many of these entrepreneurs need help and support, they need
cheerleaders, they need you. All support must not be financial. Like Mr.
Johnson’s family and friends, they need you to support their endeavours. They need you to like their facebook page, they need you to
follow on twitter, they need your visits and comments on their blogs and
webpages, they need your recommendation to other friends, they need
cheerleaders, like you. Would you be a cheerleader
today? Maybe, just maybe, your support and encouragement would make that
enterprise the Ebony of tomorrow.
