Stacy Lattisaw Says She Is Not the Same Girl and When Your Child Is Being Bullied

This past Sunday the Black Teen Empowerment Crew was joined by the one and only Stacy Lattisaw-Jackson. Yes we are talking about the former R&B star who had a string of Top 40 R&B hits and a #1 duet with Johnny Gill.



She discussed her decision to leave the music industry on her own terms, the state of much of the music today lacking substance, the performance rights of musician and artists to be paid when their music is played on terrestrial radio and more.



Mrs. Lattisaw-Jackson is now a minister and an author recently penning an autobiography, called “I Am Not The Same Girl: RENEWED”. Her company Believers Building Bridges is involved in helping to empower youth and she is working to provide a community center for youth in the Washington, DC area. You must check out the podcast if you missed the live program.



During the second hour we were joined by Dexter Humphreys of the anti-bullying campaign “No B.U.L.L” and discussed the school bullying issue. Bullying has been thrust back into the national spotlight by a video of a bullying victim turning the tables on his tormentor.



Recently President Barack Obama participated in conference to address the issue and proposed a number of programs and policies to address bullying. Dexter shared some valuable information on how students, parents and the community at large can better protect our youth from bullying.
