TBD, -prayerfully before the end of '08

Ms. Hooks has adapted the phrase "Relationship Marketing & Networking" which is not new, however an art and technique that has been long ignored by today's fast-paced society.

In addition to the networking concern, Ms. Hooks also recently started (12/24) a new website "Talk Show Radio Hosts", for professionals of radio, television and entertainment to network, promote events, shows, to mix, mingle and maximize their businesses and projects.

As of 7/1/08 is by invite only.

Ms. Hooks partnered with Green Exposition Co. of Orlando, FL as National Sales Coordinator for Mall Events and Trade Shows in major cities across the nation. If you want or need a venue our company can negotiate better rates so give me a call (Nobody's gonna read this)

Coming to the Rock Financial Plaza in MICHIGAN this November, will be the awesome WEIGHT LOSS EXPO, the nation's largest event for the Weight Loss Industry.

Author of prose, poetry, song, and accomplished entrepreneur, SHOCompassioNetwork was birthed, while Ms. Hooks found herself homeless with no one to turn to; and in great need of individuals and/or organizations to aid her when all seemed hopeless. Her story can be read in the soon to be released book “In Case of Emergency”.
