Grady Wells, a novelist and radio producer, who became the first executive editor and editor-in-chief of US Black Engineer magazine in 1986 and set the standards for inspiring journalism for more than a decade at Career Communications Group, died April 4 in Ithaca, New York. He was 60. His death came after a long illness, his wife Penelope said.
He served as editor for a variety of local and national print publications and eventually authored a book using voice-activated software. "Wine Tour of the Finger Lakes" came out in 2004 and is an indispensable guide to the best local wineries. It includes Grady's well-researched take on regional varieties, the art of wine tasting and of course, what to eat with what. He also took his show on the airwaves, hosting a radio broadcast by the same title on WEOS.
A virtual spokesperson for black technology, BlackEngineer aspires to serve as leading news and information provider on the advancements in black technology with deep insights into black engineering, black entrepreneurs, black education, and historically black colleges and universities (HBCU). In fact, BlackEngineer is one of the very few to promote the achievements of black technology. The Black engineer of the year awards (BEYA) is one of our successful ventures to promote black technology, progress and achievements made in black technology, and the sentiments of the Black community in the US, the UK, Caribbean, and Africa.
Black technology entrepreneurs are increasingly providing the horsepower that drives the global economy. Over the last two decades, black entrepreneurs have created more jobs, and contributed much more to the economic expansion of the Black community as a whole, than any black pastor or politician. Black entrepreneurs are taking risks and building businesses that generate economic growth and increase prosperity in underserved areas, as more minority-owned and minority-focused businesses emerge, willing to serve the financial needs of Black entrepreneurs. US Black Engineer & Information Technology magazine's annual list of Top Black Technology Entrepreneurs reflects the expanding scope of leading Black entrepreneurs in information technology, homeland security, and defense.
