SPOTLIGHT
TASHIMA
JONES
by VonRay
“I always found myself
around people pursuing
their dreams, whether
they were hustlers on
the block, campus, or the
boardroom.”
“I saw that everybody
needed a connect.”
Tashima Jones likes
being part of everyone’s
dreams. Born and raised in
Harlem, NYC Tashima grew
up around entertainers on
the block and in her home
(sister of a well known
Ghostwriter). After graduating from the University at
Albany with a Bachelors
of Science in Business
Marketing she went on to
work in various industries
like Retail Buying, Real
Estate, and Computer Programming. In the end she
discovered her true passion
and gift of networking and
created Connects.
Connects is a private network of urban professionals
in the creative industries
and supportive fields based
in Harlem, NYC endorsed
by Cardan, Hip-Hop Artist
& Industry Songwriter and
Gina Torres of AllHipHop.
com, GTorres Media & Platform Media Group - NYC.
Members include Sigourney
Salley - Celebrity Stylist ;
King Sharif - Host and Celebrity Journalist, and Asia
Monet - a Model with an
Ashley Stewart campaign.
Others are in the fields of
film, fashion, art, entertainment, literature event
planning, accounting,
contract law and more. Our
goal is to connect members to other like minded
individuals focused on one
common goal - success.
Connects brings all of these
people together by having
industry focused networking events.
Tashima Jones says “After
working in Corporate America and transitioning into
entrepreneurship, I realized the need for a professional society catering to
urban sophisticates in the
creative industries. I also
realized the importance of
the term – it’s not what you
know but who you know.”
This marks a new form of
networking and handling
business. It is composed
of people who are professional about their craft,
dressed for their industry
and passionate about
their vision.
It’s who you know,
Tashima
