"Awesome Entrepreneurs"



In the midst of government bailouts, foreclosures, and a so called recession; it takes guts to be self employed or start a business in this economy.  To go against the grain and not play it safe is the essence of entrepreneurship.  When you think about it, pursuing a passion really is going "with the grain".

I am a firm believer in doing what you love and loving what you do.  That dream that won't go away, or that gentle calling that becomes a loud roar when you do something that is not your "calling".  There is something that is so liberating when you work with passion versus work being a "just a means to an end".

Along with the lowering of unemployment, another to answer to the crisis that so many are facing today is to create your own employment.

Today, I salute "Awesome Entrepreneur" Attorney Janaya Trotter, owner and managing partner of Trotter Law, LLC.

  Janaya started her legal career at the City of Cincinnati Prosecutor's office as an Assistant City Prosecutor.  She then accepted a position with Ritter & Randolph as an Associate in the litigation department.  After holding these positions, she realized that her passion for law wasn't being fulfilled and decided to branch out and start her own firm.  Janaya was ready to start practicing law according to her standards and wanted the liberty of taking the type of cases she believed in and not just those that were assigned.  She decided to take charge by working all day and all night for herself instead of maintaining someone else's lifestyle at the expensive of her own happiness. "I wanted to be the master of my future" says Janaya.


She opened Trotter Law, LLC in June of 2011.  Trotter Law's primary focus is on domestic relations, criminal law, and bankruptcy.  Janaya is working very hard to show that there are very good, competent African American attorneys that will work very hard on your behalf.  For more info on Janaya and Trotter Law, call 513-531-515, or send an email to jtrotter@trotter-law.com

The Heart of Donna Wallace



A beautiful black woman, with a mean shoe game.  One who is always willing to help, no matter the situation or circumstance. That's the heart of Donna Wallace.

She is a jack of all trades, and a master of one; living as a reflection of the love of God.  A simple "hello beloved" from her will make you smile, but a conversation with her will leave a lasting impression for more than a little while.

She's a wife, a mother, and a close friend to so many, but gives you her attention, as if it is "all about you".  I've seen it time and time again, "Chief DL" saved the day.  If she kept a tab on favors, she would be due for a huge payday.

Today, I focus my attention to a person who is so humble that it will make you check yourself.  In fact, it took me three weeks to find a picture of her, and just like I figured, it wasn't by herself.

We don't celebrate our "everyday hero's" enough.  Good deeds get overlooked by "Charlie Sheen" headlines.  We don't have to wait until someone is old or dies to show appreciation on Blogs, Facebook, and Twitter time lines.

She's what I wanna be, when I "grow up". If you know her, meet her, or hold a conversation with her, you'll know exactly what I'm talking about.  A wonderful, loving soul, that will always be loved and appreciated by so many. That's the heart of Donna Wallace.
