Award-winning filmmaker Spike Lee. Music and fashion impresario Russell Simmons. Radio mogul Cathy Hughes. Entertainment maven Suzanne De Passe. All and many more cultural trailblazers have spoken at the award-winning Miller Urban Entrepreneur Series [MUES] - a multicity, business-building seminar and exposition designed to help urban sophisticates realize economic empowerment through entrepreneurship, technical training and job development skills. Dr. Randall Pinkett, chairman and CEO of BCT Partners, and season-four winner of "The Apprentice," electrified the audience at the Los Angeles Convention Center when he elucidated on creating intergenerational wealth. Pinkett's visit was facilitated by MUES and Muhammad Nassardeen's Recycling Black Dollars. "It's time for collaboration," Nassardeen said. "It's time for working together, to better our people, to move forward. There are so many opportunities, if we would start working together, to build coalitions, and coalitions will build institutions, things that last longer than our lifetimes." MUES gives more than $50,000 to winners of the business-writing competition in each participating city. "I'm here to encourage and inspire and provide my observations about what it takes to build an actual enterprise," Pinkett pontificated. "I'm talking about an entity that will last and stand the test of time. Not just storefronts. Not just mom-and-pop operations, but thriving, successful enterprises that employ community members and create wealth and give back to the community." - terry shropshire
