Page 1/COVER SECTION

I have such gratitude for everyone who has supported the Black

Business Directory and offered me encouragement during the past 30

years in this business.

The creation of a directory which listed businesses and services changed

the discussion of “I can’t find any” to “here they are.”

In 1983, as I went around neighborhoods, I met people in business -

clothing store and restaurant owners, attorneys, doctors, barbers and

beauticians - hardworking, dignified people pursuing their dreams and

building their community.

With this year being my last at the helm of the Black Business Directory,

I am relieved that others are taking it over. The tradition of thispublication proving that good, smart, hardworking African American

people contribute to uplifting our communities and to our region will

continue.

Copies of the Black Business Directories, photos, and other details from

my 30 years in business are in safe keeping at the John Heinz History

Center, and maybe one day there will be a retrospective. The collection

is a mirror of what we have accomplished and contributed to building

this greater Pittsburgh region.

I am honored to have received many awards. Most recently, I received

a Lifetime Achievement Award from the East Minority Development

Council.

Keep using and supporting this publication.

Thank you,

Connie Portis

Reflections: I was inspired by the connections we made throughout the years

So proud that in the 1990’s I was

elected president of the National

Association of Black Pages Publishers,

serving over 52 US and Canadian cities.Even prouder to be among the two

still standing with a printed Directory!

Here I am seated second from the left.

The front cover partner photos were patterned after the

Atlanta Black Pages as a means to highlight business

owners. The concept fast became the mainstay for

revenue to go to print. All advertisers are important to the

success of any publication.

An honor to sell out the all of August Wilsons plays

at the Pittsburgh Public Theater and talk with him

about our Gladstone High Schools days.

Loretta Devine was a

speaker at our

Womanpower Seminar.

Meeting John Johnson, founder of Ebony / Jet,

was a highlight ... I presented him with a Black

Trailblazers Award

The photos and memorabilia from 30 years in business are archived at the John Heinz History Center.Plans are underway for a public presentation of The Constance A. Portis Renaissance Publications

Collection. The Collection includes photos from the Black Extravaganza, Womanpower Seminar, People-

to-People Connections, Night at the Theatre, Renaissance News and the Black Business Directory.

Dr. James and Pamela JohnsonAfro-American Music InstituteThe Afro-American Music Institute (AAMI)

began in 1982 by accomplished musicians

Dr. James Johnson and his wife, Pamela.

Classes were held at St. James AME

Church in East Liberty and within six years

program growth necessitated a move to the

Alma Illery Annex in Homewood. After

a successful capitol fundraising campaign,

on August 15 2003, AAMI moved into their own building and they’ve

renovated a rehearsal and performance hall for the Boy’s Choir, AAMI

Ensembles, and annual recitals. Consistent with its mission, the Afro-

American Music Institute provides programs of excellence under the

guidance and tutelage of staff, board members and Dr. James and PamelaJohnson by offering AAMI youth music lessons and laying the foundation

to gain self-confidence, self-esteem, creativity and problem solving skills.

The couple is dedicated to uplifting the lives of youth in our community.

Did you know Veterans and their family members are givingPittsburghers innovative taxi/car services?

Vets are driving CNG fueled taxis or Electric powered car service Tesla. Do youwant to work in, own, or operate a small transportation business?

VETaxi Intellectual Property creates both work ($30, 000 - $60,000) andcommunity business ownership opportunities with training and specializedservices for Veterans. VETaxi is not a franchising opportunity.

Customers put $$$ in your pocket from agency contracts, smartphone “nearestavailable taxi” “apps”, telephone to cab technology dispatch, and a driver’s

independent desire to succeed. All cabs provide London-style taxi roominess for 4persons plus 3 Segways, 2 bicycles, or 1 more in a wheelchair riding up front.Tesla White Glove is an upscale car service.
