Angelo Ellerbee, Public Relations Guru, CEO and Founder of Double XXposure Media Group, has written an important story, not just about the entertainment industry then and now but about the socio-cultural backdrop of significant music eras. This book is a glimpses of him as a black, gay artist/activist in the turbulent 60’s & 70’s, as well as him earning the moniker “The Henry Higgins of Hip Hop” while navigating the tough rap genre throughout the 80’s-90’s and beyond. All while learning his craft and meeting the industry’s who’s who from the inside out.
Ellerbee has styled diva’s from Roberta Flack to Nina Simone, and his work has been displayed in publications such as Vogue Magazine, Essence Magazine, Women’s Wear Daily and Ebony Man.
Tune in tonight on “Conversations Of A Sistah” via blog talk radio, as I sit down with this PR genius to talk about his new radio show and his new memoir “Ask Angelo“. As Mr. Ellerbee explains everything from his tenets of artist development; to why having a seasoned ‘OG’ who has been around the block on your team is a wiser choice.
All “Conversation links” in this post make it possible to access the show.
In the meantime, SOUND off here and meet me on the air!
I hope he show up Blog Queen because last time he didn’t.

Irrespective to Parker’s past or his personal preferences in women, I saw “Birth Of A Nation” and thought it was pretty good. I agree with whoever said the movie might’ve ranked low due to the weather., that’s very possible.

You make a good point but who he chooses to love is his business. And aside from that we either see the movie because we want too or hold it against him because we feel he can’t tell a story while sleeping with the enemy. It’s that simple.
