You Need To Know << F.Bentley

Dear Mr. Derek Watkins,
Your story inspires me to follow my heart and never give up. By making this post I hope it inspires others.
Warmest Regards,
Jazmyn Gilliard







You really need to know Fonzworth Bentley. Every time I need inspiration I read a refreshing article about him in Giant Mag (written by Emil Wilbekin). The article basically gives you a run down on his life.

Perhaps the most inspiring part of the article was when he explained his persistence. From networking throughout NYC he met Diddy. Eventually Diddy gave Bentley the number to his two way pager (THROW BACK lol), but Bentley didn't utilize the contact right away. When Diddy was going through the trial from the 1999 shooting Bentley would send him Bible verses and Puff would always respond Thank You.

On a day he was sent home early from his restaurant gig for being late, (Bentley) knew he couldn't go back. "I two way'd Puff: I know you're busy, but I need to talk to you.' And he said,'Who is this?' And I said.'This is Derek.' He said, 'Where are you?' I said, '73rd and 3rd.' 'Who is this?' (I) sent the following: "You remember the guy that traveled to New York City? The intern with Andre Harrell? I'm that guy- 2001. Please don't make me go back to work on Monday at the restaurant." Combs replied to meet him at 9:30pm that evening. - Emil Wilbekin

For a young snapper like myself that is one hell of a story! His story drives me to bang on the door until someone answers.

Some Interesting Facts:
-He has a degree in biology
-While in college Bill Cosby became his mentor
-Before being Diddy's assistant he worked at Ralph Lauren's Manhattan flagship

You Need To Know << Black List Vol. 3

I FINALLY got to watch The Black Vol. 3 this morning and it was sooo inspiring. Two stories that spoke volumes to me were Debra Lee and Hill Harper. I never knew Debra Lee's story so it was interesting find out that she wanted to pursue a career in government/law. Hill Harper spoke volumes to me because his story was all about following your heart. You have to watch the program to get the full effect, but here are they're Youtube videos.
