Morehouse College-Known For Producing Great Leaders, had a book signing/seminar on Monday, October 15 featuring alumni Derek Watkins aka Fonzworth Bentley. Mr. Bentley has a book, Advance Your Swagger: How to Use Manners, Confidence, and Style to Get Ahead. The event took place at Morehouse's Douglas Hall which was filled with over a hundred students with questions of how to break into the entertainment industry. After an hour long of hearing about his personal stories, I did leave the seminar with a little knowledge.
If I can be honest, this isn't my first run in with Derek, I had met him last season and he was not so nice. Maybe that day I was dressed to good. As a Morehouse student, I expected more from our first run in; No advice, no tips, so to say the least, I was over him. But the second time was better and I will be reading my signed copy of his book. Mr. Bentley will be releasing a music video that is suppose to tie into his book. Not sure how that will work but Im sure it will be great. My review on his book will come as soon as I finish (( start )) reading it. But I can say this, I do respect what he is doing.
DISCLAIMER: Alot of things are political, and I want to make it clear that I do respect Mr. Bentley. I simply felt that I would be truthful with the viewers about our first run in. I would so love to have a sit down with him to learn about his style and his advice for the Young Black Professional Man. Go purschase his book!!
