Set-uh-why-oh -- huh?
The Daily News has a new business writer, Ms. Ameerah Cetawayo introduced herself on February 14th and I truly enjoyed her writing, it was positive, witty, uplifting and very focused on the community.
She wrote:
"I'm a new face to Daily News readers. Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Ameerah Cetawayo, certainly not a name most can spell three times fast on the first try - pronounced "Uh-meer-uh Set-uh-why-oh.";
Pleasure to meet you. Don't be a stranger."

Having a little experience in the local business community myself, it’s my opinion that her job is not an easy one. I hope that she sees the benefit of getting involved. I would encourage her to attend all local business events, ribbon cuttings and other chamber gatherings. Get out there, get involved and meet people.
Bowling Green is a close nit community and the business climate here is friendly, open and exciting. Please don’t lock yourself in your office, come on out here and get to know us and through this experience you can be an involved member of the local business community. You will better serve yourself, your readers, the Daily News and the community all at the same time if you join us.
Ms. Cetawayo closed her initial public offering with:
So while I have plenty to learn, I look forward to showing Daily News readers all the new and exciting business activities in this area. If I miss something, be sure to let me know.
I'm sure you'll receive plenty of advice, some better than others, just keep that good spirit of enthusiasm and openness and I'm confident the warm people of southern Kentucky will embrace you enthusiastically.
Welcome Ameerah! I look forward to reading your articles, and seeing you out here in the trenches of our local business community… who knows, maybe I can even be of service some time.
