One to Watch in 2013
Heather Henry
founded Entity Entertainment in 2013. Already a C.O.O. of Up All Night Ent, and
WRTA on-line radio, Entity Ent became a subdivision of U.A.N.E. An M.B.A. graduate, Heather started advocating
for issues such as; the current mass levels of incarceration in the United
States. Targeting laws that felons become second class citizens of, Heather
understood the disappointment behind the lack of jobs for male felons. Heather
Henry also sits on the O.S.U. Advisory Board, is a member of MFM, United Way
and the worldwide Peace Keepers funded by Russell Simmons.
A motivational speaker, Heather
realized while dealing and visiting prisons, that a lot of our black males were
musically inclined and talented, they just needed someone to believe in them.
Humbled by the accomplishments and success from the Ban the Box project, which
applicants can no longer ask if you are a convicted felon, on applications in
certain cities, Heather feels that if people showed up in numbers at Congress,
town hall meetings and petition halls,
Afro-American’s voices could be heard. Campaigning and marching with different
churches, Heather Henry went door to door and registered over 200 males to
vote.
After working in the streets and
mentoring young males, Heather decided, after her Master’s Degree, that instead
of managing individuals at a corporate level, she would rather help the inner
city youths by building self esteem, tapping into talent, and moving the
aggressive behavior we display by music. Music touches souls and heals wounds.
If artist could pour out their souls, and put it in a form of music, Heather
believes that it would be less violence amongst each other. Heather also
believes the youth of today just wants to be heard, and given the benefit of the
doubt.
In 2013, Entity Ent was formed with
a vision of turning gangbangers, violent offenders, and artistic males and
females toward a hobby, which most times includes something in the music
industry.
As of now, Heather is the hardest
working Underground manager, writer, and Owner in Ohio. In 2013, with the help
of her business partner Dayna Foster, Heather decided to play underground music
on Dayna’s on-line radio station. “Playing underground 24/7 gives artist a
platform to see what other artist are speaking about. WRTA also is a place to
show friends, family and fans the talent they invested in.. Acknowledging all
that she has had a pleasure of meeting she would like to give these artists a
salute. Putting together a song with the right beat is not an easy task, and
it’s even harder to perform in front of guest.
A writer, motivational speaker,
manager, PR Executive and mentor, Heather Henry-Entity Ent. is on the rise. As
of now, Heather works at the Jock Boxxx Radio Show, independently manages over
30 artist, practices entertainment law, and engages in her true passion writing
by starting a magazine and being a publicist for artist and magazines such as
Next2Blow in Alabama and Spitt Magazine here in Cleveland.
