We Salute: Mona Scott-Young

Today marks the first official day of Black History Month! Though I will be forever grateful for the many pioneers who shed blood, sweat and tears fighting for equality and justice. However for the next 28 days I will pay-homage to the men and women of today who are living out Martin's dream and Sojourner Truth's mission. 


So today I celebrate Mona Scott-Young a wife, mother, entrepreneur, mentor and the owner of Monami Entertainment. She is the former co-owner and president of Violator Management and has helped launch the careers of Missy Elliott, 50 Cent and Busta Rhymes and managed the careers of LL Cool J and Fantasia.
After putting 18 years of hard work into Violator Management, Scott decided to follow her dream and start on her business, Monami Entertainment, which is media company that tackles artist management, brand development and much more.

Today, Mona Scott Young is the Executive Producer of Vh1's Love & Hip Hop reality TV series, noting the idea coming from her client Jim Jones after seeing his dysfunctional relationship with his long-time girlfriend Chrissy. This season she also introduced her men-tee Yandy Smith, who is also the project manager at Monami Entertainment. 

WE SALUTE MONA SCOTT-YOUNG!
