ATLANTA GA, September 15, 2008 --For many years, V-103 has put on the phenomenal family expo called, "For Sisters Only" that targets women and their families. The expo reaches over 50,000 consumers and other business owners in the community for the two day weekend. For the past 15 years this 2-day marketing event has attracted more than 250,000 African American shoppers that involve celebrity entertainment, cultural enrichment, informational seminars and family fun every year. Also many artists have participated in the event such as Usher, Destiny's Child, Johnny Gil, Mary Mary, Wyclif, Musiq Soulchild, Mario, Keith Sweat, Cameo, late Gerald Levert, Frankie Beverly and Maze, just to name a few.

This holiday season, It's Cool To Be Smart will introduce their new book series, called "Saving Our Daughters" From a Man's Point of View and will feature 6 leading African American Men in Film, Television, Sports and Music; one of these men will be T.I. and the organizations sponsor and spokesperson for the past 5 years. It was a very special September 13th weekend at this years' event because of the support from V-103's Producer, of The Porsche Foxx Show, Tequilla Whitfield. Tequilla had joined It's Cool To Be Smart and the new book series' efforts to help support and uplift single parent mothers and their daughters in the black community. "I read the first two chapters of Saving Our Daughters and was truly touched by the mother and co-author's quest of overcoming horrific acts in their life", stated Tequilla.

Tequilla and V-103 blessed these two remarkable women with tickets to attend the event for the September 13th weekend along with arranging up an an up/close conversation with T.I., who personally thanked the mother, co-author and writer Karen Watts, for the opportunity to participate in the book to inspire single parent mothers and their daughters.

T.I. has always been in support of single parent mothers and their children with past scholarships and sponsorships for these families to attend recreation centers during the summer and help in college aid.
