Most importantly, she is passionate about Black culture and understands RTM's role in highlighting African American achievement," said Hiram. "With Cathy as President of our News Group, not only are we assuring dynamic growth in the capability and depth of those brands, but it will give me more time to focus on strategy and business development for the overall enterprise. As we continue our evolution as a national media, marketing, and entertainment company I am excited to be able to put a laser focus on our cultural marketing arm Pitch Black, business lifestyle brand, Who's Who In Black, and Studio 1452, our original content production outfit. I'm confident that bringing Cathy on board is the best choice to allow me to do that."
