When I began this magazine, I was so overwhelmed because with all business ventures, you just never know if its going to really work the way you envision it. This digital magazine has been by far, the most time consuming and complicated thing I’ve ever done. From the very beginning, I centered my vision around selecting the best people to be apart of my team, because it’s the team work that makes the dream work! With a project like this, things are bound to go wrong --- schedules conflicted, from models to photographers, fashion designers assigned and replaced, stories misaligned, and despite those inevitable disasters; like all good things, pressure builds progress. This first issue of Amb Mag represents the long nights, the dedication, the progress of the millennial generation. I would never be able to fully take the credit for pulling this together, because it would truly be impossible. I did this with a team, a team that I hope to build and grow with. There’s no doubt that I’m a movement by myself, on my own, but with the right people around me, that’s how I got this done. So many late nights, random emails, early morning texts, re arranged meetings, changes, and yes we pushed the release date back a million times! I got so upset because there were times where I was like I’m ready to launch, I don’t care about the kinks, and that just wasn’t the plan. All in all, this is an issue, the first of many to come, dedicated to millennials and focusing on the upcoming talent and visionaries of the future. I want this to be a vessel for those who want to inspire and make the future greater than we imagine and desire.
Last but not least I want to close this letter with a thanks: first to the great, Delo Brown, who rocked when the issue was a thought of a vision, Billy Ware, the photographer I rescheduled with a good twenty times to fit everyone’s schedules and he accommodated each reschedule with ease. I have to give the creative vision execution thanks to my graphic designer Christon Stewart, who pushed through with every follow up and edit; I told her my vision one time and from that meeting forward she has produced nothing but results and I’ve loved her professionalism and work ethnic. Also, I want to thank all of the businesses that trusted me with their brands and allowed the magazine to be a promotional outlet for their ad spaces. Last but not least I want to thank my incredible grandmother, without her wisdom and prayers I don’t where I would be, and of course she gave me my mother, who I want to thank as well for every business venture I had, that she supported 100%, for all of the days where I thought about giving up and she was a voice of reason to push me to no limit of success. I just hope that if nothing else, Amb Mag inspires everyone to live their best life and truly take advantage of any opportunity that presents itself! Enjoy! The AM Mag | April 2018 | 5
Make-up HOW TO
Here’s the best advice when it comes to a everyday look; keeping it simple and cute for a night on the town, cozy date night with a boo, or a everyday work look is quite simple. Add mascara, lipstick, a light coating of foundation and top it off with a dab of color for the eye shadow. The best beauty tip that can help achieve this look would be to go in thinking simplicity thinking about and visualizing using the least amount of product; and then creating a “Oh I have on make up”, but not too much or just enough for you to tell but also focus on my natural beauty”, with this look you can’t go wrong no matter what the event or occasion is. L’Orel Faced better than sex was used to achieve this look for the eyes, along with MAC all that glitters beige with gold pearl eyeshadow. For the lips, a nude gen buttercream lip gloss was used. The foundation was Maybeline Fit Me Matte Poreless Foundation, which is great for oily skin and gives the best natural look.
