Turning Point Magazine Publishes Diversity Themed Issue

Led by its special advertorial section, Corporate Champions of Diversity, this issue is primed to be one of the most valuable magazines this year for information and resources directed specifically toward the African American small business entrepreneur.

Featuring the comprehensive cover story “Celebrity Entrepreneurs”, which focuses on the new breed of well-known entrepreneurs such as Hip Hop musician Nelly, actress Camille Winbush of The Bernie Mac Show, Judge Mablean Ephriam of TV’s Divorce Court fame, and 70’s singing group Switch member Greg Williams; these are illuminating stories of those who are literally rolling up their sleeves and launching lucrative businesses.
