Most charging cables are less than reliable. They fray and break so easily that people find themselves purchasing new ones on a semi-regular basis, which gets expensive. And that’s what makes these JunoPower cables so notable. They’re super tough so they’ll last a long time and they’re currently discounted by 56 percent so they’re economical too.

The Kaebo cable from JunoPower is not your garden variety Lightning cable. Unlike other cables, Kaebo’s are designed to withstand the punishment of day-to-day usage. They feature a braided nylon covering that resists tears, so they’ll last far longer than a standard Lightning cable that’s coated with rubber. And, since they boast aluminum adapter heads, you’ll enjoy stronger connections too.

Got a case on your iPhone? No sweat. Kaebo cables feature slim heads, so they’re safe to use with most iPhone cases including those from Lifeproof and Otterbox. And they’re compatible with all other iOS Lightning compatible devices, such as the iPad and iPod Touch, so you’ll find plenty of ways to use them.

Simply choose the color that suits your style. Cables are currently available in Gold, Grey, Orange, Pink, Red, and Silver. Each cable is an ample 3.2 feet in length and you’ll receive three with your purchase so you can leave one at home, keep one in the car, and take one to the office. If you are tired of buying and replacing cheap cables, then this is the solution you’ve been waiting for.

Cardi B Publicist Patientce Foster Shares What It Takes To Succeed In Entertainment

https://www.blackenterprise.com/cardi-b-publicist-patientce-foster/

Cardi B has made it clear that she doesn’t need more press–-and it’s in large part due to her amazing publicity team at The Cream Agency, headed by Patientce Foster.

Foster plays multiple roles for Cardi, which includes being her independent publicist. She shared, “We work very closely with Ashley Kalmanowitz, our label publicist, who has done an amazing, consistent job in bringing an immense amount of press opportunities to the table. I am also head of her brand partnerships, and day-to-day operations. [Cardi] has honestly allowed me to be a part of almost every conversation pertaining to her career, including creative, her music, her vision, her ambitions.”

Behind the Scenes of Celebrity Publicity

While onlookers get to appreciate the beautiful glossy images, energetic performances, and humorous interviews Cardi B dishes, each of these requires lots of preparation. Foster shared that the most challenging part of the job is having to work under a constant pressure that never seems to let up. You must make yourself available for everyone else while still trying to be emotionally available for yourself.

“It’s easy to lose yourself and your mind while trying to keep up with the demands and obligations of the job,” she says with a laugh.

The industry has its perks too. Foster loves being able to work with kind-hearted people with brilliant minds and genuine souls. Noting, “The best part of my job is having a voice, being able to be vocal about what we’re doing, where we’re going, how to evolve and remain consistent.”

Getting into the Industry

Foster recommends that anyone interested in pursuing this career look to build in every direction that could align with their end goal.

“Don’t be so specific in your direction that you turn down opportunities that will help you to build a Rolodex or increase your experiences. Place yourself in rooms that will help you to build contacts. Place yourself at tables that will open your ears to conversation and educate you. Become so well-versed in the industry so that when your time does come you’re equipped with education, contacts, and networks. Those elements are essentially what the person/brand hiring you wants–your reach and your experience.”

Rubbing Shoulders with Celebrities

Rubbing shoulders with celebs is a dream for many, but there are unspoken rules. Foster advises that your approach and intent are everything. “Some people want to rub a shoulder for a photo opp, rub a shoulder to be able to post on social media and caption the moment as if they are acquainted with the celeb and use the visual for their own leverage. My pet peeve would be how the approach is made. Complimenting a celeb, asking them to possibly look at their art, listen to their music or [ask] for a photo is always OK, but how it’s done is what bothers me. The sense of false entitlement is what bothers me.”

Patientce Foster’s Journey to Becoming Cardi B’s Publicist

While Foster cannot forget her Southern roots being born in Charlotte, North Carolina, she credits her upbringing to Wilmington, Delaware, where she moved at the tender age of 7.

“The city of Wilmington has played a major role in my development as a person and as a professional. The fact that Delaware is the second-smallest state, makes Wilmington even smaller. There’s no radio station, sports team, little to no representation. We are often overlooked. It takes a certain consistency, determination, and tenacity to be visible, to be seen, to be recognized. It’s easy to feel defeated when you’re counted out, or always coming in last. Wilmington lent me a fearless mind, a tough skin, and a confidence I wouldn’t have been able to get from anywhere else.”

Leaving her job at Hertz to start a full-service salon is what led her to Cardi. Foster’s pivots may seem haphazard to some, but she had a clear vision.

“I left Hertz to open a full-service salon in 2013, Vixated. Vixated was able to fuel my ambitions and my journey to being a publicist by allowing me freedom, time, and funds to travel and take unpaid opportunities to build my resume and experience. It was in my second year of business (2015) that I was introduced to Cardi by a friend at the time, and now my partner. She needed hair and beauty services and my Wilmington salon location provided that. God made it so that we met again a month later during a Fashion Week PR internship, and it was then that I was hired. I went from working in Hertz, to building a business that paved the way to a career in publicity.”

On top of being a ‘small town girl’ who took a leap of faith to start her own business, Foster is also a single mother. This responsibility helped to mold her in a massive way,

“Being a single mother is a responsibility like no other. You can’t go out and a build a team to assist you, or ask just anyone to help you, or expect anyone to love and care for your child the way you do. That baby is yours, and yours only, your responsibility and forever obligation. Nothing is about you anymore, everything is about your baby. Every decision you make is for that baby. Every goal you make and plan you execute has one end goal, that baby, and the baby’s future.

“That mindset has become the fuel that burns my fire, it has become the motivation and intent behind every decision I make. It has made me a more aware woman, a more direct woman, a more assertive woman. There’s no time for question, doubt, or error. I have become a more decisive woman. I have to go get what I want, and ask for what I want, and make what I want happen–not for me anymore, but for the future, and well-being of my child.”

Millennials Changing the Game

Foster, a Millennial herself, does not buy into the dialog that Millennials are lazy and entitled.

“I believe that we are in a new era of new approach. How the generation before us achieved success, and the paths they took has changed. Times have changed.

“I believe that this generation is innovative, fearless, doesn’t hear the word ‘no’ [and] will make something out of nothing. This generation has been revolutionary. We have single-handedly changed the world as they once knew it. This generation has changed the digital age, how we listen to music, how we purchase items, how we socialize, how we look for and obtain jobs. This generation has given the power to individuals in becoming whatever they want to be.

The Cream Agency

Foster is so grateful in what she has been able to accomplish. “[I’m] so humbled to be a part of one of the greatest, most consistent teams in the game. My contributions, my work, and my results have allowed me to build one of the fastest-growing PR and creative marketing/branding boutique agencies in the business. The Cream Agency has only begun to make its mark. The impression we make will be one that will last to the end of time. I’m standing on that!”

NYPD Officer Who Used Deadly Chokehold on Eric Garner Fired

https://www.blackenterprise.com/officer-fatal-chokehold-eric-garner-fired-nypd/

Five years after Eric Garner’s death, the New York City police officer who placed him in an illegal chokehold during an arrest as Garner repeatedly cried out, “I can’t breathe,” has been fired. The announcement was made Monday by NYPD commissioner James O’Neill.

During a press conference, O’Neill said that he agreed with a police department disciplinary judge’s decision that officer Daniel Pantaleo should no longer serve on the police force. Garner was arrested in 2014 for allegedly selling loose, untaxed cigarettes in Staten Island. Pantaleo, however, used a deadly chokehold on Garner, which the administrative judge found triggered an asthma attack that ultimately led to his death. The incident was captured on a widely viewed cellphone video that showed Garner saying, “I can’t breathe,” 11 times.

His last words became a rallying cry in the Black Lives Matter movement and galvanized protests around the world.

“It’s an extremely difficult decision,” O’Neill said, according to ABC News. “If I was still a cop, I’d probably be mad at me… [but] it’s my responsibility as police commissioner to look out for the city.” He added that it could have been him in Pantaleo’s position during his 34-year stint as a beat cop.

Following Garner’s death, Pantaleo, a  35-year-old white cop, was placed on desk duty and collected an annual salary of more than $97,000. Because of his dismissal, he will lose some benefits but not his pension.

In response to the announcement, Rev. Al Sharpton said that “we are relieved but we are not celebratory. There is nothing to celebrate.” He added that “today Daniel Pantaleo lost his job, but five years ago, Eric Garner lost his life.”

Watch: Bear Scares Man Off Front Porch in Connecticut

A homeowner’s Nest camera recently captured the moment when a man was scared off a front porch by a bear.

Andrew Crumbie, who lives in West Hartford, Connecticut, said a strange man visited his home on Aug. 14. Crumbie didn’t know who the visitor was, however, he was able to see him push the ringer through his Nest doorbell camera, WFSB News reported.

(function(d, s, id) { var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0]; if (d.getElementById(id)) return; js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id; js.src = 'https://connect.facebook.net/en_US/sdk.js#xfbml=1&version=v3.2'; fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs); }(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));

 

The footage, which was shared on Facebook, showed a big black bear running up to Crumbie’s front porch and scaring the man away. Once the visitor was out of sight, the bear paced around the porch for a minute before leaving the area.

“Apparently I had a visitor (or two) while I was away today,” Crumbie wrote on Facebook. “Not sure who the guy was but it’s safe to say he won’t be visiting again.”

Crumbie believes that the man may have been a contractor. He also said that even though he lives in between two reservoirs, black bears don’t typically come close to homes in his neighborhood.

“The bears are in the area often because I see them routinely. In this particular instance though, this bear was startled, possibly by the car as he was crossing the road and ran for safety,” Crumbie explained. “Unfortunately this guy was between the car and safety.”
