Felicia is a graduate of Stanford and UCLA Anderson School of Management. Before making her leap to follow her lifelong love of fitness and become an entrepreneur, she gained experience as a sales and marketing executive for Sun Microsystems, Sony, Mattel, and Demand Media. BoxUnion recently announced it has acquired TITLE Boxing Club, a fitness studio with 166 clubs across the United States, Mexico, and the Dominican Republic specializing in boxing and kickboxing fitness classes.

Hey Music Lovers, Wow, it has indeed been almost two months since my last Podcast. Needless to say, I've started a new full-time job and I've been working my little behind some very long hours getting a new TV show off the ground. I'm thrilled to get back to you with my February chapter, "Love Stinks." I'm trying to get back on a once-a-month regular posting schedule.

Kwanza Jones established her dance-pop credentials in 2011 with her Billboard charting hit, “Think Again,” (which spent 4 months on the Dance/ Club Play charts). This song signaled the Supercharged sound for Jones, who is known for her never-ending energy and non-stop curves. Born in Los Angeles on Thanksgiving Day, Kwanza exhibited a certain star quality from childhood to present -- often winning beauty and talent contests, including the Miss Baltimore pageant. Being a former track star, her competitive drive was just as strong. This might explain why Jones, who grew up in Washington, DC, finished at the top of her high school class and went on to graduate from Princeton University. The daughter of two lawyers, Kwanza foresaw a career on the business and legal side of the entertainment industry. However, a chance meeting with Quincy Jones and a performance at the world famous Apollo Theater, altered her course. Despite the lure of the Hollywood lights, Jones chose to spend time in New York City honing her songwriting skills, teaching herself guitar, attending law school and “getting some life lessons.” She credits her experience during a rigorous nine-day climb to the top of Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest mountain in Africa, as teaching her about the power of perseverance. Kwanza reached the top via the Western Breach -- one of the most difficult and dangerous routes which was later closed because people died from rock-fall. She says, “I could have taken an easier route but where's the fun in that?”
