He Said She Said: Men and Business

Sorry it's taken me a while to write another article but there have been a few ups and downs stopping me from doing what I love. So, with some of the issues that I have experienced lately, I decided to touch on this topic, MEN and BUSINESS. The question that I am going to pose is why is it that men find it hard to work with a woman in charge of business? Of course there are going to be men that say this isn't an issue for them but I've been through it first hand and I am going to point out the signs that show they have an issue with it even if they don't say it.

Crabs in a Barrel: Friends or Foes? 

I decided to touch on a topic this month that is very close to home. We've all experienced so-called friends that you later find out aren't really looking out for your best interest. With the days of Myspace, people use it as tools to hate and stalk among other things trying to invade your serenity. The term Hating has been used so much lately that I believe people forget the actual meaning of it. I decided to take it back to the old school term and explain how to overcome it. Since becoming an author I've noticed this more dominantly than I have any other time in my adult life. So why is that people hate to see you successful? I definitely believe in the crabs in a barrel effect and I'm going to explain my situation with hopes that someone else will see the warning signs and back away the instant they see the things that I slept on.

The Jump-Off: Know your place and play your position

OK, so I wanted to touch on a subject that I'm pretty sure had touched you or someone you may know. The Jump-Off is that person on the side also known as the person that you see mostly for sex when you aren't with your main squeeze. In today's society I believe that it is safe to say that more people cheat than in past times. And it is also safe to say that the Jump-Offs no longer want to play the background but feel that they deserve a place in the forefront. With that being said, I want to discuss some of the issues that come with having a little something on the side and how men are having just as many issues controlling the environment as the women are playing their position...

Double Standards: Multiple Sex Partners 

When speaking of double standards most people would agree that they do exist. From occupation to ethical norms women are supposed to be both submissive and feminine. Believe it or not there are a lot of people in our society that agree with these ridiculous standards, which leads me to an issue that has always been looked at in a way that I totally disagree with. When speaking of having multiple sex partners men are looked up to by their peers whereas women are called every degrading term in the dictionary. Why is this? How is it okay for one group but not another?

Soon her creative juices were sparked again and she decided to take a stab at it once more. After giving it to her friends and co-workers to read she finally got the push that she needed. Sending it first to Q-Boro books, they quickly responded and offered her a two book deal for "Daddy's Little Girl" her best-selling debut and "Sugar Walls" her scantly titled sophomore novel.

Since then, Brittani has participated in two anthologies: Fantasy by K.Elliott (Urban Lifestyle Press) and Flexin' & Sexin' (Life Changing Books).

She recently signed another two book contract for her 3rd and 4th novels, one of which will be released winter 2008 and also a collaboration due out in stores June 2008 with Essence Magazine Best-selling Author Anna J (My Woman, His Wife) and Laurinda Brown (Walk Like A Man).

Brittani graciously thanks Mark Anthony and the entire Q-Boro books staff for giving her the opportunity to shine. K. Elliott & Azarel for the anthology opportunities. She also thanks her Publicist Nakea Murray for all of the doors that she's opened for her as well.

Stay Tuned for Brittani...There's a lot more where these came from!
