20 ON THE COVER PROFILES
Milton and Nadina Brown Taylor are both honored to be featured as the Black Pages’ Couplepreneurs for 2016!
Born from a 6th generation of legacy, Nadina is the niece of the late, great, Mary McLeod Bethune. Just as her legacy demands, she carries the attribute of creating a positive desire to help people who want to better themselves through entrepreneurship.
Nadina Brown was born in 1963, to the proud parents of Vernel and Classie Brown who both taught her the need to add “Self-worth” to the economy and to be able to make her mark on history.
While her father, Vernel Brown, carried the legacy of entrepreneurship through his direct bloodline to Mary McLeod Bethune, her mother also passed her the torch of entrepreneurship while showing her ways to reinvent her creativity though needlework (sewing) and providing tax preparation services to friends, family, and anyone who desired to be enlightened in ways to better achieve their financial goals.

Nadina Brown Taylor Ybor City Food Tours, Inc.
Even though both of Nadina’s parents are deceased, the values they instilled in her have not been forgotten. Today, Nadina Taylor is proud to say that both sides of her heritage has taught her how to tap into her “inner self” and follow her dream to create a path for herself that can be handed down through many decades.
Mrs. Taylor has found a way to inspire many
entrepreneurs to create and open their own companies since 1993 through her company, C&C Electronic Tax and Financial Services. She has helped thousands of customers (averaging between 500 – 700 clients per year). She currently has an office in Florida and one in Illinois.
Milton Taylor, born in 1957, also carries the “entrepreneurship torch”. He comes from a long line of music lovers that dates back three (3) generations. His past ancestry has taught him to preserve the passion for music by teaching him that it is through music that people connect and are unified. Mr. Taylor has truly learned that music is the center of passion that can move a generation to unforgettable heights. He was always the “maestro of music” at family functions as a child and into adulthood. He continues that passion today as many are blessed to have him host their parties and special events.
Mr. Taylor currently owns a private disc jockey firm and is affectionately called “djmtaylor.” He has hosted parties with themes ranging from Classical, to Soft Rock, to Hip Hop and Soul. His love for music and the industry is constantly expanding, allowing him to adapt as changes take place.
It is through this foundation of “preserving history” that Mr. and Mrs. Taylor combined their creativity to create Ybor City Food Tours, Inc. in the summer of 2015, as a way to preserve history through ethnic foods and knowledge. A passionate “foodie culture” has evolved for millions as evidenced by the proliferation of food network channels, food competitions, and food festivals. The evolution of the “foodie culture” has intrigued us and made us all food critics.
Mr. and Mrs. Taylor have found their niche in this food craze by offering Food Walking Tours in the National Historic District of Ybor City. Their business started with support from the community and local news writers. They have found a way to preserve history and touch the souls of many with knowledge and tasting of ethnic foods.
Ybor City Food Tours, Inc. has served over 982 guests since its inception. The number of customers continues to grow as visitors and locals, take the unique historical tour. Customers are amazed at the information that they learn on the tour.
Mr. and Mrs. Taylor are honored to be able to share their heartfelt passion and spirit through their personal careers and Ybor City Food Tours, Inc. They aspire to bless all whose paths they cross.
