G!Nx – Unidec Music ~ Black History Month
Greg Doby, also known as G!Nx, is the owner of Unidec music, a creative company in Madison, WI offering mentoring and professional services for aspiring artists & producers.
G!Nx is the first producer from Madison, WI to have major label placements. Notably, one of the beats he wrote was purchased by Lloyd Banks of G-Unit, bringing the midwest sound into New York Hip Hop. The same beat later became the song “Karma” ft Avant, and went Platinum on the charts, solidifying G!nx as a certified national producer and inspiring youth for generations to come.
G!Nx produced for one of the first Hip Hop groups in Madison – The Fresh Force, whose members included Johnny Winston Jr, Richard Henderson, Erin Hynum, Oren Ben-Ami and Emanuel Whitfield. Fresh Force was signed to DJ International in 1990 and all members of the Force have continued to be strong, iconic, Black Men in the Madison Community.
G!Nx also pioneered the first independent record label in Madison, WI – Regime Records. Artists include the likes of Rob DZ, The Crest, Ghetto F.A.B., Keon Andre and Club Mecca. The foundations of Regime Records laid the way for Unidec Music to thrive.
G!Nx partnered with another local Black business, DLK Printing, to create an AfroCentric clothing line. Black Power Gear makes a statement and celebrates African American culture with custom retro clothing and instills positivity.

Marys Daughter llc & The Importance of Generational Wealth ~ #CCA #BHM
Barbara Boustead, the owner of Mary’s Daughter LLC, offers day to day money management services for seniors and veterans.
Providing peace of mind for her clients and reducing their stress, Mary’s Daughter is the culmination of Barbara’s life mission, which has always been to be of service to others.
The importance of generational wealth and saving for the future is something Barbara instills in her own children. According to Barbara, one of the best ways to start building generational wealth is to buy a home. Most people are happy to settle for getting a paycheck and going out to buy a new car. Barbara wants to make your money work for you in the long run; she helps make sure those instant gratification purchases are held to a minimum.
Trauma from slavery passed down generation after generation, gentrification of suburban neighborhoods, and other racial inequalities for Black Americans makes owning a home much harder for Black folks. Barbara recommends a few different local programs to help first time home buyers realize it is possible!

JP Hair Design ~ Black History Month
Jeff Patterson, owner of JP Hair Design, opened up shop in 1998 in a studio by himself. When JP opened, he had been trained for 2 years by iconic local barber, Taylor “Smitty” Smith. Smitty was the first licensed Black barber in the city of Madison. A quiet leader, Smitty never talked about money–he always talked about community, individuals, and loving people. JP has definitely followed Smitty’s lead. In 2016, when Smitty passed, JP assisted in setting up the Taylor “Smitty” Smith Scholarship, which provides tuition, books, and equipment for an apprentice student in barbering or cosmetology at Madison College.
JP Hair Design now has 10 active barber chairs. In 2016 JP Hair Design added a Men’s Health and Wellness Center inside the shop; the first ever barber shop in the nation to feature an education center onsite.

Swurly ~ Black History Month
Dione Laufenberg is the owner of Swurly. Based in Sun Prairie, Swurly products are available in 5 locations across Madison. Swurly’s flagship product is a 100% mulberry silk hairstyle & preservation bonnet, and they offer much more. 
Dione saw a need in the community, and wanted to make self-care fun for her children, so she developed her own products. Swurly products stand out–offering style, quality, and longevity.
Dione’s business started as a blog, www.LauftyLife.com, in which she wrote about what it’s like to be an interracial couple raising biracial children, as well as other complexities of having a multiracial family.
Dione spoke of being inspired by Loving Day, a day that celebrates the landmark supreme court case, Loving V. Virginia, from 1967, invalidating state laws prohibiting interacial marriage. Richard and Mildred Loving, an interacial couple married in the late 1950s, were arrested, imprisoned, and banished from the state of Virginia for being married. On June 12, 1967 the Supreme court sided with Richard & Mildred’s case, overturning the laws prohibiting interracial marriage.
