This week has been unforgettable. It’s been that way because I’ve been able to network with some very powerful people in the entertainment industry. Just the other day, executives and VPs from companies including NBC, MTV, CBS, WPIX, Cox Radio, ABC News, Fox, Fox News, Gotham, NY1, Comcast, Clear Channel Radio and more were all under one roof giving students like myself an opportunity to learn about the business and how to get ahead. I was able to meet each of these companies individually and hand them my resume and say to them, “I am looking for on-air jobs.”

All of the companies gave me email addresses and contact numbers in order to stay in touch. The following day I emailed them all with a thank you note. The day of the event, everyone I had met supported my dream of being the next “big thing” like a Tyra, Ellen, or Oprah, while many wanted me to follow up with them on Monday, the next business day. Now, I have three interviews next week and I might potential get a shot to show these people what I’m made of!!! Besides this awesome event, I went on a movie audition for the film “Fathers Day” followed by eventful parties, where I was able to get interviews from people… and I mean people who are talented or who can share interesting stories that people will relate with.

Also, I was recently offered to walk the red carpet and be a spokeswoman for the night at the Ronald McDonald house. I went to another magazine release party and met a well known renowned TV producer named Glen Meeham, several accomplished film directors and more. To top off my glamorous week I met a big shot photographer, who has shot supermodels, actors, celebrities and famous people… he offered to shoot me after saying “I likes your look” (OMG) then later during that week I was approached by my team’s publicist who was going to try to get me to host a Muslim fashion show taking place in NYC.

At this point, I’m elated and really feel like this is all happening for a reason. Everyone I’m meeting is supportive, happy, and excited for me. Even the people I’ve met just once say they’d give me a talk show right now if they could. I’ve had two businessmen who I met on the train tell me in less then 45 minutes, “I promise you; you’ll have your own talk show.” Well, guess what… Oprah just announced she’s leaving and I’m 99.9999999999999% positive I will be her replacement. I’m influential to the people I meet in 3 minutes. Imagine the damage I could do if I had a whole hour show!! =}

I’m sad to hear the news yet happy as hell because this is it… Channel 7 is gonna be looking for new potential talk show host candidates and I can’t wait. I might be the one they choose!

If they ever had an audition for that, I’d be on line for weeks, months, maybe even years before the audition date… I am not kidding!

Love you guys… talk to you soon!!!
