The BOSS Network Celebrates its 2 Year Anniversary with the Launch of: "Behind the Business"
A Real Look at Women in Leadership Documentary Series

Chicago, IL - On Thursday July 7, 2011, The BOSS Network (Bringing Out Successful Sisters) will launch its first ever documentary series entitled "Behind the Business".  

Having committed themselves to changing the way women, as enterprises are viewed amongst the masses, the BOSS Network Founder Cameka Smith was compelled to executively produce a film that highlighted everyday women leaders.

This powerful documentary, which is directed by Mark Tutson, CEO of 3188 Films, will discuss the negative portrayals of female imagery in today's media and express the importance of nourishing positive interactions among women in business.  Filmed onsite at Ten Chicago based establishments; cameras have captured candid expressions and opinions from female leaders on controversial topics such as, "How do they feel women are portrayed in leadership and in the media?" and, "What do you think about the stereotype that women do not support each other in business?"  The documentary also sheds light on "Why it is important to showcase women leaders to our youth", all the while offering words of encouragement to blossoming entrepreneurs.   

The "Behind the Business" documentary special will also serve as a prelude to the BOSS Networks upcoming addition, "Project Boss" (www.projectboss.org); established to match professional women with mentoring programs for youth nationwide.  

Featured in this film are Shay Atkins- CEO of Creative Turkey, Dartesia Pitts- Attorney at Law, Maya Broussard and Chrishon Lampley- Owners of Three Peas Art Gallery, Siobhan Strong- Co-Owner of Deliciously Vintage, Heather Williams and Deanna Morales- Owners of Glam Luxe, Querida Flores and Ruckiya Ross- Owners of August Bloom (Haute Floral Design), Danielle Wideman- Founder/Editor and Chief of Goddess Girl Magazine, Da-Nay Macklin- President of Conquer All Odds Coaching Corporation, Shara Harris- General Counsel at The Hampton Marshall Companies, and Dr. Renee Matthews- CEO at Matthews Entertainment.
