Christophers Cantwell and C. Rogers created a show of such emotional depth and creativity but it’s a shame Halt and Catch Fire (2014-2017) ran for only four seasons.

Robert L. Johnson
Enamored with television and the potential power it held, Robert Louis Johnson envisioned a network all his own. That channel would one day be Black Entertainment Television or B.E.T. After graduating from Princeton University, he realized his vision and built what would become the first black-founded company to appear on the New York Stock Exchange. In 2002, when he sold BET for $3 billion, he became the first black billionaire in American history.

John H.Johnson
As a small boy growing up in Arkansas City, Arkansas, John Harold Johnson nurtured big dreams. You might think having darker skin than other children would have held him back from achieving those dreams, but you’d be wrong. He was undeterred by potential obstacles like race and poverty. He followed his dreams, and found a way to go from government assistance as a child, to the Forbes list of 400 richest Americans as a grown man.

Throwing Away the Cusp
I was born on June 21, 1988. That means I entered into this life on the Cusp of Gemini and Cancer. What does all of this mean? Absolutely nothing. Comedian, writer, and director Chris Rock gave the perfect horoscope when he said: “Aquarius... you’re gonna die. Capricorn... you’re gonna die. Gemini, you're gonna die twice! Leo you’re gonna die.”
