Whether it’s her children, her friends, or herself, Juanita Vanoy shows her support to the max. Now that her friend is helping uplift women, she’s doing her bit to enable that. Michael Jordan’s ex-wife is helping Dr. Tashion Macon promote her latest book which is to empower more women to occupy the C-suite space. The mother of three has been achieving her own entrepreneurial dreams since her divorce from Jordan. She’s created her own community of loved ones, or tribe, as she called it, and Dr. Macon is part of it.

Vanoy, far from her Instagram newbie days, hyped Macon for her newest career notch. “Get your copy of Coming in Hot written by good friend and Tribe Sis,@tashionmaconphd. If you’re working in corporate or just considering it, she is giving you the blueprint. Available at Amazon,she wrote.

Macon’s glowing resume includes serving as Dr Dre’s director of marketing at his company and has worked with Usher, Pink, the USOC Winter Olympics, Burger King, and The Oprah Winfrey Show. She’s been in the corporate world since the ’90s when she was working at Arista/LaFace Records. She’s taken that experience along with inspiration from Toni Morrison and Maya Angelou to publish her book, Coming in Hot: A Blueprint for Black Women Setting the World Ablaze.
