When We Speak is a talk show based in the Atlanta metro area that caters to entertainment, with a close focus on indie music professionals. The show is hosted and created by Jermaine Sain.
About a year or so ago, I was at a studio in Atlanta, and
the owner was telling me that he had noticed the progress that we were making
at When We Speak TV and said, “How are you meeting all these people?”.I really don’t remember what I said but I
remember what I wanted to say…..I wanted to say, “God”…Now that I think about
it, I should have said it.It is only
God that allowed me to meet the people that I’ve met. Now, don’t get it
misunderstood…He didn’t just allow me to sit back …I had to first seek out the
people and acknowledge to Him my desire to interview or meet them.
As you probably know, I’m saying that to lead into something
else, (even though it was a terrible
transition).I want to share with
you about some people that I recently worked with and met in Columbus, Ohio.On October 3, 2015, I got the
opportunity to work my first red carpet event at the historic Lincoln Theatre in Columbus, Ohio. I have sung at many red carpet events but I’ve never walked a red carpet
nor been a red carpet correspondent.But
now I can say that I have worked a red carpet, thanks to the Kingdom Image Awards in Columbus, Ohio.
I was behind the scenes and the correspondents where Rick
Jones and Maurice James of the Rick and Reese Show in Columbus.These guys were super cool and fun to work
with.
And guess what else?When We Speak guest, Quan Howell, also attended the event.It was extra special to see him.He had no idea that we would be there so it
was extra nice when he acknowledged me during the red carpet interview.
And lastly, my dearest friend, Vonzail Lawrence, who is on
the Executive Board of the Kingdom Image Awards(He is also the production manager and set designer).He was the one who recommended us to
participate and I’m sooooo glad that I accepted.There is so much I can say about my
friend.He has been such a great support
of my vision.I remember back around
2005 or 2006, he and I used to go to Starbucks in Killeen, TX….(he would order a
green tea latte and I would order a caramel latte).We would sit in that Starbucks for hours
talking about our dreams and goals in life.And even though we didn’t know how it would happen (and still don’t) we knew that it would come to past…There were also days that weren’t as
inspiring and we would cry together at our friend’s house…(how we love our friend, Angie, she is really a big sister to us)… we
called the room in her house, “The Crying Room”.Now 10
years or so later, I’m living in Atlanta, GA and he’s in Columbus, OH making
those dreams happen.I’m creating my
brands of When We Speak TV/ SAINJ Productonsand he’s doing big things like working for BETAwards, BET 106 and Park, and Radio One!!!
So to go back to the question about, “How are you meeting
all these people?”…….The correct answer is undeniably….GOD!!!!
He later became the arbiter of good taste for Courvoisier, and Style & Fashion correspondent for Access Hollywood, covering the Oscars, Golden Globes, and Grammys. He was also named one of People magazine’s “50 Hottest Bachelors” in 2004. Bentley has appeared on MTV’s Making of the Band 2 and in music videos with OutKast, Kanye West, and Usher. He has also appeared in two feature films, Honey and Fat Albert.Fonzworth Bentley lives in Los Angeles.
Bentley is the author of the book, Advance Your Swagger: How to Use Manners, Confidence, and Style to Get Ahead. He released a much talked-about album, “C.O.L.O.U.R.S” featuring artists such as Kanye West, Andre 3000, Lil’ Wayne and others.
Aside from being an authority on style, manners, and Hip-Hop culture, Bentley is recognized throughout the music industry and the country as a talented artist and trend-setter.
