National Black Business Trade Association Aligns The First Social
Network Member Unique Tour “For Us By Us”

The Black Business Space Value Tour, a program of the National Black Business Trade Association, is a growing grassroots social media phenomena. It announced a slate of featured artists and kicked-off its Adopt-An Artist campaign at an online press conference, Wednesday. January 7, 2009 at 12:00pm EST.

As music has changed over the years and the industry is in flux, BBS Value Tour will have a commitment based campaign, that will empower everyday people to help support the artist whose work will reflect the true lives and values of everyday people.

The tour’s slate of artists is comprised of visual artists, dancers, actors, spoken word, musicians, comedians and vocalists who reflect the genres of gospel, urban inspiration, hip hop, R&B, neo-soul, and rock.

This is a vision of Jacqueline Taylor-Adams who has been surrounded by phenomenal artistry of visual and performance artists. “I’m so glad to work with artists that will empower the community in a positive way, not just on stage, but in everyday life.

Our youth today are very impressionable and life imitates art, and I believe that they deserve good quality entertainment, just like when I was growing up. Today, people enjoy music and entertainment that reflect who they are, and what they are going through.”

Jacqueline Taylor-Adams is a marketing professional. Her mission is to bring circulation to music and art that reflect a higher quality message.

The BBS Value Tour social network community’s resources will help increase the fan base, awareness, performance, showcase and sales opportunities for independent visual and performance art members.

The tour is launched from the National Black Black Business Trade Association's [NBBTA] Black Business Space, a business social network with over 5,500 members. The BBS Value Tour's online community whose membership practices dual citizenship, expands BBS' business networking to family style communal networking using the formula Artist + Business + commUNITY= Family.

The Black Business Space Value Tour, strategically acknowledges artists as a central force within our communities as the storytellers of our history and culture.
