For months, we’ve endured the back-and-forth banter among Republican presidential candidates as they fight for their party’s nomination. Relentlessly tearing each other apart and proving just how contentious and petty they can be, these so-called front-runners exemplify what the GOP stands for at this very moment: obstruction & division. Last night during President Obama’s State of the Union address, we were reminded of just how much we can achieve with a unified government and with leaders who put the nation’s best interest before their own political agendas. At such a pivotal time when some would have us believe that there’s no such thing as income inequality, the president has called for tax reform, a ban on insider trading in Congress and more as he vowed to tackle perhaps the greatest challenge of our time: fairness. Delivering a reassuring voice to the men, women and children still suffering during these tough economic times, the president drove home the notion that it isn’t about jealousy; it’s about equality.
“We can either settle for a country where a shrinking number of people do really well, while a growing number of Americans barely get by,” stated the president. “Or we can restore an economy where everyone gets a fair shot, everyone does their fair share and everyone plays by the same set of rules. What’s at stake are not Democratic values or Republican values, but American values.

BookBuzz — Touch 1 Media LLC releases new memoir by Melvin Childs, former executive producer for Tyler Perry, which details the incredible true story of the struggles, determination, friendship, and innovation that rocketed Tyler Perry to Hollywood domination and forever altered the course of Childs’s life.
Available in bookstores and via online retailers February 27, 2012, Never Would Have Made It. The Rise of Tyler Perry, the Most Powerful Entertainer in Black America (and What it Really Took to Get Him There)
From early struggles and missteps to helping launch Tyler Perry, Childs offers a fresh and honest description of the journey he and Perry embarked upon as young men. It’s reported that Childs met Perry when the man the world would come to know and love as Madea was still an unknown writer searching for ways to make ends meet. Childs instantly recognized the unique talent Perry possessed and foresaw the success the playwright would have. The pair, along with another friend, soon joined forces in an effort to bring Perry’s work to the stage, with Childs providing the encouragement and taking risky chances to ensure that the business partnership had the financial backing needed to advertise and stage Perry’s work.
The result: Tyler Perry’s play, I Know I’ve Been Changed, sold out at Atlanta’s House of Blues in 1998. As executive producer, Childs then went on to establish the first successful national tour of the play, which helped revolutionize modern black theater with his marketing techniques. Perhaps most importantly, Childs warns of the risk one takes when the line between friendship and business is crossed. His own experiences have taught him that when a producer is forced to make an unpopular decision for business reasons, that decision can have disastrous and long-lasting repercussions on personal relationships.
“Tyler is the single most talented person I’ve ever met,” asserts Childs. “He worked hard to get where he is today, but he didn’t do it alone.”
Never Would Have Made It is both a critical look at the challenges in the business of entertainment and a how-to guide for newcomers. The book is already garnering praise from early readers on Amazon.com, who have called it “a revelation” for starving artists and “an excellent read” that offers the “true story of the rags to riches” behind the early days of the Tyler Perry empire.
