SOHH.COM LAUNCHES NEW “CONFESSIONS OF DOWN LOW LIFE, LOVE AND SEX IN THE ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY” BLOG WITH AUTHOR TERRANCE DEAN
Posted by bigced on May 8, 2008
SOHH.com, the internet’s longest and largest running hip-hop website with over 5.5 million visitors monthly, announced today their partnership with author and former entertainment executive Terrance Dean to launch a new blog titled “Confessions of a Down Low Brother.” Coinciding with the release of his new controversial book, “Hiding in Hip-Hop: On the Down Low in the Entertainment Industry – From Music to Hollywood (Atria/Simon & Schuster)” hitting stores on May 13, Dean will be updating the blog regularly for the next two weeks highlighting his own experiences and thoughts on a variety of debatable topics. The blog will be featured on SOHH.com (http://blogs.sohh.com/confessions/) as well as SOHH’s sister site, Twelve24Girl.com, a lifestyle and social networking website targeted towards females ages 12-24.
The “Confessions of…” blog is a regular series featured on Twelve24Girl.com providing people the opportunity to share their real-life stories. Dean will be elaborating on compelling stories and personal anecdotes that were not included within his upcoming book.
“We are thrilled to partner with Terrance with this initiative as it is a unique behind-scenes-look into the subculture of hip-hop and gives our audience a figure to relate to,” says CEO and co-founder of Twelve24Girl.com and SOHH.com, Felicia Palmer. “We’re excited Terrance is so open to giving the SOHH.com audience an insider’s look into the world of love, sex and sexuality within hip-hop.”
Dean’s latest project is an explosive and provocative memoir that will uncover the prominent gay sub-culture that hides behind the confines of hip-hop. The book highlights his own personal struggle with the issue and the emotional rollercoaster of becoming involved with some of Hollywood’s and hip-hop’s elite A-listers, and into an underground world of down low brothers, sex parties, and love starved celebrities.
Dean has over 10 years of entertainment industry experience with several television and film production companies such as MTV Networks, B.E.T., Savoy Television, Paramount Pictures, Warner Bros. Pictures, and Sony Pictures working on projects alongside heavy hitters such as Spike Lee, Rob Reiner, Keenan Ivory Wayans, and Anjelica Houston. Dean’s first best-selling book, “Reclaim Your Power!” assists men with daily reminders of meaningful spiritual meditations that can be practiced anywhere and at anytime.
“Twelve24Girl.com and SOHH.com are ideal platforms for me to voice my personal anecdotes and thoughts about the topic of my upcoming book, Hiding in Hip-Hop,” said Terrance Dean. “The sites speak to such a wide audience and am thrilled to provide a blog that can self empower and provide a foundation of support for others to be free and accepting of who they are.”
