Creators Danielle Dominique and Danielle Solomon Achieve Record-Breaking Success with 'Mind Your Business' on Bounce

Danielle Dominique and Danielle Solomon have achieved a groundbreaking milestone with their show "Mind Your Business" on Bounce.  Garnering over 2 million views during its debut weekend, the series has become the most-watched Bounce original show to date.

Despite the current industry trend favoring reboots and sequels, and with minimal paid promotion, "Mind Your Business" has captivated millions and continues to attract new fans weekly.

"Despite not having a major promotional roll-out compared to past Bounce originals, 'Mind Your Business' still reached millions of people and continues to gain new fans every week. Its success underscores the audience's desire for fresh, original ideas in a landscape dominated by reboots and sequels," said Danielle Solomon.

Solomon, who created the show at 27 and saw its premiere at 28, notes the significance of this achievement. "This is very uncommon in a post-strike industry, especially for Black women. Myself and Yvette Lee Bowser (Living Single) are the only two Black women to earn the coveted 'created by credit' for a broadcast network show at such a young age. Hopefully, 'Mind Your Business' will open the doors again for more younger women to do the same and we don't have to wait another 30+ years," she added.

How African-Americans Can Change The Circumstances Of Our Zero Net Worth Dilemma

By Pierre Clark The talk in Chicago about increasing economic opportunity for African-Americans in Chicago and around the country rings hollow in the face of a report from the Chicago Community Trust that Black families in Chicago have a median net worth of $0 dollars while white families in contrast have a median net worth of $210,000. 

A report from McKinsey and Company and reports from the Pew Foundation indicate that it might take hundreds of years - 228 years, according to one report - to address and fix the disparities. Most of us living now will have been dead and gone for 9-10 generations by that point in time. 

What can be done now and in the immediate future about addressing and reversing these depressing findings? And as reports also say the GNP of African American community is over $1 trillion, how can the net worth of those same families in Chicago be $0? And how can we start capturing and recapturing that wealth?
