Writer in Columbus, Ohio
Heather Henry founded Entity Entertainment in 2013. Already a C. E O. of Entity Ent, a radio show co-host, a magazine author and radio owner, Entity Ent became a subdivision of many local and nationwide platiforms . An M.B.A. graduate, Heather started advocating for issues such as; the current mass levels of incarceration in the United States. Targeting laws that felons become second class citizens of, Heather understood the disappointment behind the lack of jobs for male felons.
Heather Henry also sits on the O.S.U. Advisory Board, is a member of MFM, United Way and the worldwide Peace Keepers funded by Russell Simmons.
A motivational speaker, Heather realized while dealing and visiting prisons, that a lot of our black males were musically inclined and talented, they just needed someone to believe in them. Humbled by the accomplishments and success from the Ban the Box project, which applicants can no longer ask if you are a convicted felon, on applications in certain cities, Heather feels that if people showed up in numbers at Congress, town hall meetings and petition halls, Afro-American’s voices could be heard. Campaigning and marching with different churches, Heather Henry went door to door and registered over 200 males to vote.
After working in the streets and mentoring young males, Heather decided, that instead of managing individuals at a corporate level, she would rather help the inner city youths by building self esteem, tapping into talent, and moving the aggressive behavior displayed music. If people could pour out their souls, and put it in a form of music, Heather believes that it would be less violence amongst each other. Heather also believes the youth of today just wants to be heard, and given the benefit of the doubt.
In 2013, Entity Ent was formed with a vision of turning gangbangers, violent offenders, and artistic males and females toward a hobby, which most times includes something in the music industry.
As of now, Heather is the hardest working Underground manager, writer, and co owner in Ohio. In 2013, with the help of her then business partner Dayna Foster, Heather decided to play underground music on Dayna’s on-line radio station. “Playing underground 24/7 gives artist a platform to see what other artist is speaking about. WRTA also is a place to show friends, family and fans the talent they invested in
