FIRST PLACE WINNER FOR ICONIQUE MAGAZINE YOUTH EDITION COVER CONTEST 2018

Hi my name is Trinity Marie Schaffer, I’m 6 years old and in the first grade. My favorite subject in school is math, and I love gym as well. I love to read now that I can sound out words. It is, so crazy how I can sound letters and make it into a word. I was born in Virginia Beach, Va. My family moved to Saint Charles, Missouri when I was three months old. They wanted to move closer to my grandparents. I love clothes that make a statement about my self. My favorite season is winter, because I love snow. I like making snowmen and snow angels. I have a big sister her name is Meya and I also have a big brother his name is Troy. He goes to college at Truman, I really miss him a lot. He would play with me when he was home.

I have a dog name Game he loves to be played with. We play ball and fetch the bone. My favorite color is green it is just so pretty. I love playing games on my dad’s cell phone and on the computer. I really like it when my mom and I get to go to church on Sunday. We don’t get to go every Sunday, because my mom works also. I love watching cartoons my favorite is “Alvin and the Chipmunks”. They are really funny and I like how they talk. I also like “Doc McStuffins”, I know my papa gets tired of them, because always watches them with me. My Nana is trying to teach me how to quill, it is a little hard, but she makes very pretty pictures when she quills, so I want to learn how to do it. I’m really a picky eater my parents keep telling me that I just at least have to try something new every time they cook, but some things just don’t taste good. My dad is a chef and he likes to make fancy food.

Some looks good, but some don’t. I love spending time with my Nana that I really love to the moon and back. I go everywhere with her.

We also always say “Infinity”. My family always goes to different places to visit. I just went to Great Wolf Lodge in Wisconsin. It was hotel that had an inside swimming fun things to do. I love swimming, so I really had fun there. I get into my grandparents hot tub all the time. My mom always tells me that I can have anything in the world if I make myself work for it to achieve it. My dad always tells me that I will get far in life if I smile and be polite. I love meeting new people, because that also helps you learn other things. I meet a lot of people when I model and it helps me to learn different ways I should be walking and turning. I just had a fall photoshoot and I was having, so much fun moving and posing in different ways. The lady that did my pictures is my cousin Tonya, she said I had a beautiful smile. I love fashion modeling. I really wish I could model being on television. I think it would be a lot of fun.

Over the weekend, Kanye West revealed that McDonald’s is his favorite restaurant. While that’s not really shocking or newsworthy, it did spark several comments from not only his peers like Rick Ross but also rival fast-food companies. Earlier today, Burger King U.K.’s Twitter account had some shade to throw at ‘Ye.

Burger King U.K.’s Twitter account went full-savage today after Kanye West tweeted that McDonald’s is his favorite restaurant. In light of ‘Ye’s behavior over the past few months, they quoted his tweet and said, “Explains a lot.” However, that wasn’t all they had to say to Kanye. After getting over 250K retweets on their initial tweet, the fast-food joint joked, “If we knew this was going to blow up we would have made a soundcloud.”

BK also poked fun at Kanye’s recent announcement that he’d be leaving politics. “eyes still closed I guess,” the tweet reads. Prior to this tweet, Kanye wrote on Twitter, “My eyes are now wide open and now realize I’ve been used to spread messages I don’t believe in. I am distancing myself from politics and completely focusing on being creative !!!”

While BK seems to take Kanye’s love for McDonald’s personally, it shouldn’t be that surprising that ‘Ye prefers a Big Mac over a Whopper. ‘Ye penned a poem titled, “The McDonald’s Man” for Frank Ocean’s “Boys Don’t Cry” magazine that was released in conjunction with Blonde. - SOURCE HOTNEWHIPHOP

(AllHipHop News) Controversial rap star Tekashi 69 was in the Los Angeles area this weekend, and his bad blood with a local artist nearly became physical. 6ix9ine ran into Slim 400 of YG’s 4 Hunnid camp.

Slim 400 took to social media on Sunday to claim he blocked Tekashi from entering the ComplexCon event in Long Beach, California. Alleged video footage of the confrontation has spread across the internet.

“Stopped that n*gga at the door. 6ix9ine couldn’t get in, ain’t hit no stage, ain’t walked around, did sh*t,” said Slim on Instagram. He added, “Ain’t no colorful haired n*ggas pulling up.”

Tory Lanez has been pumping out a lot of music. Just this year he released Memories Don’t Die in March and his follow up Love Me Now? In an interview with the Breakfast Club, Lanez revealed some details of possible collaboration albums with Chris Brown and Meek Mill.

Lanez already has worked with Chris Brown who makes two appearances on Love Me Now? Tory also hinted that he had been working with Meek Mill on a project as well. The two collaborated on “Drip Drip Drip” from Love Me Now? and previously joined forces on the hit “Litty.”

With all of the planned music, Tory Lanez is looking to cement his place an important voice in R&B and9 hip-hop for years to come. THESOURCE.COM

Jamar Clark, AKA Coach Clark, was born and raised in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Coach Clark first picked up a basketball at the YMCA at the age of 5, and has never stopped playing the game he loves. He played AAU basketball from third grade until high school - further instilling his love for the game and sharpening his skills as a team player.

In high school he was a lead player for two of the top programs in the Twin Cities (Patrick Henry High school and DeLaSalle High School). Coach Clark was awarded a full college scholarship and played for two D-1 Junior Colleges Florida State College of Jacksonville and Northland Community Technical College (NCTC) in North Dakota. Not only was the NCTC team national runner up for the 2006-2007 season - all team members were enlisted into the NCTC Basketball Hall Of Fame.

What is G.T.A. family all about? GameTime Academy is dedicated to training athletes who are serious about taking their basketball game to the next level.

We offer individual, group and hourly sessions. Training is available for youth (5-17 years old), as well as college and professional athletes. All players who train with GameTime Academy will be taught our Three Elite Concepts: how to develop an elite mind, an elite spirit and an elite education.

Jacksonville, Florida.

Not only will students remain competitive in their sport of choice, but also in the classroom. Our mission is to create God-fearing entrepreneurs whose graduation will be incumbent on them passing two core courses - Mortgage and Banking 101. We know that these two courses will not only prepare students for the real world, but it will set them apart from others. We understand there are some adults who could also benefit from banking and/or mortgage knowledge, so we plan to offer a webinar course available to everyone. We would also make sure that our students are aligned with practical degree paths, rather than taking random college courses in an effort to graduate quickly. We must keep in mind our future is dependent on our youth.

If they are not fully aware of their value, then they will be destined to follow others – rather than developing into leaders of their families and future generations.

“Being Elite Isn’t Just a Saying, It’s A Lifestyle” and “We Know Who We Are.” Welcome to GameTime Academy!

of four sisters and two brothers, all of whom she cared for while both parents worked to make ends meet. Ms. Charles has a set of twins (boy and girl ages 21) who are now in college, as well as a 15-year-old daughter and 13-year-old son, all of whom she raised as a single mother. Despite being a single mom and working two jobs, Ms. Charles also worked hard to further her own education.

She attended Marian Court College, where she obtained an Associates in Science in 2011, and a BS in Business Administration, with a minor in Health Care Management in 2014. She is currently working towards her MBA in Health Care Human Services with minor in nonprofit organization, from Strayer University. Tamara Charles is a survivor of domestic violence and is currently living with multiple sclerosis. Her personal experiences allow her to understand the physical and psychological barriers that prevent many women from leaving their abusers.

Ms. Charles also understands the potential fatal nature of domestic abuse, which makes seeking assistance imperative. By providing, a home where battered women and their children may seek temporary shelter, Ms. Charles hopes to help these women understand they are not alone. Her shelter will be designed to provide a safe space where victims may share their stories and meet other survivors to support them in their journey.

Additionally, she hopes to provide these women with resources to help them gain control over their lives.

After have gone through those experienced, I decided to write a book called Unbroken, Still I Smile, a memoir of my story, Journey, and survivorship experiencing sexual assault, three domestic violence relationships, and now living as a multiple sclerosis warrior.

I want inspire other women and let them know that they are not alone. There are help and resources that will help them get out the situation they’re in. I want to let them know they don’t have to feel ashamed and they surely don’t need a man to feel that they’re

loved. Self Love should be your focus, meaning you have to love you first before you can love any man.

As an advocate, I provide emotional support and guidance. I help victims get into a safe haven and discuss safety plan. I Help the victims with getting the right resources such as shelters that they need in order to move forward and help regain control over their lives. Most importantly, I listen without judging. I have done Women empowerment brunches, feed the homeless and our Sisters In Charge Annual Masquerade Gala fundraiser for domestic violence awareness month.

My advice to both men and women is to tell someone you trust and formulate a safe plan immediately. Call The National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-SAFE. “I’m not ashamed of telling my story. The more I talk about it, the stronger it makes me feel and the more I want to live. Since deciding to create this organization, many women I know have shared their stories with me. I never in a million years would have imagined being a victim of domestic violence.I am proud that I made it comfortable enough for these women to reach out to me. We (women) need to learn how to hold each other’s hand and empower one another. Let’s teach one another how to love ourselves. It all starts with self-love. It shouldn’t take a man to tell you how beautiful you are, or to make you feel worthwhile.

You will never find peace and love in a relationship if you don’t first love yourself.”

ITS HARVEST TIME It’s Harvest Time!

Cold weather is around the corner and your body will crave something warm and comforting on those cold windy days.

How about some savory beans? How well do you know beans?

Some Powerful plant protein (plus cooking tips!)

Creamy cannellinis, meaty garbanzos, sweet adzuki, tender pintos, and so many more—beans are one of the most powerful, nutrient-dense plant foods around.

Consider this: Beans are packed with tons of fiber, as well as plenty of iron and protein. They are rich in antioxidants and phytonutrients. They are low in calories.

Plus, studies have found them to lower risk of cancer, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes.

What To Do With Beans Many people avoid beans because they just don’t know what to do with them.

Are you one of them? Keep reading: • Toss beans and diced veggies (such as celery, shallots, red peppers) with vinaigrette for a quick bean salad.

• Blend cooked beans with tomatoes, onions, and your favorite seasonings to create a yummy bean soup.

• Top a green salad with 1/3 cup of your favorite bean.

• Puree beans with a bit of olive oil, a garlic clove, salt, and your favorite seasonings. Voila! A fast dip or sandwich spread.

• Include 1/3 cup of beans with your

other favorite toppings next time you make stuffed baked potatoes or sweet potatoes.

• Add 1/4 cup pureed beans to your favorite pancake, waffle, muffin, or cake recipe. You’ll be surprised at how moist and springy baked goods are when baked with beans.

If you’re new to cooking with beans, try these tips for delicious and wellcooked beans.

• Be sure to wash and clean the beans first.

• Soak dried beans for 8-12 hours before cooking (hint: cut a bean in half; if the center is still opaque, CONT. NEXT PAGE

ITS HARVEST TIME keep soaking).

• After soaking, rinse, fill pot with fresh water, bring to a boil, then skim off the foam.

• To aid digestion, add kombu, bay leaf, cumin, anise, or fennel to the water • Cover and simmer for the suggested time.

• Remember: Only add salt at the end of cooking (about 10 minutes before the beans are done) or it will interfere with the cooking process.

• Quick tips: For speedier prep, boil dried beans for 5 minutes, then soak for 2-4 hours. Or use canned beans instead (some people find them even easier to digest!). Be sure to avoid canned beans with added salt or preservatives and rinse thoroughly once removed from the can.

Accessories can be real statement pieces and a way to show your personality in an otherwise classic outfit. Fashion accessories are a great way to spice up any wardrobe, especially one that could use an updating.

Are you interested in updating your appearance, at least in terms of your fashion? If you are, you may not only want to examine the latest in clothing fashion trends, but also the latest trends in fashion accessories.

Fashion accessories are rapidly increasing in popularity, particularly in our celebrity-obsessed culture.

But many of us still do not know exactly how to use them to our best advantage.

The term “fashion accessories� is very broad and includes a number of products. Just like fashion clothing pieces, accessories come in virtually every size, shape and style under the sun. There are fashion accessories that are designed for children, teens, men, women, petite sized, and plus sized individuals. Below are a few of the major fashion accessory items you might want consider in order to keep your look current and expand your coordination options.

The most well known fashion accessory is of course, jewellery. For teenagers and children, fashion jewelry pieces that are popular often include colourful, oversized pieces, as well as charm necklaces or charm bracelets. For men, a popular piece of jewellery often includes large pendant necklaces, many of which display a cross or another popular or meaningful symbol. As for women, popular pieces of fashion jewelry include watches, earnings, rings, necklaces, bracelets, pins, and so forth.

Another major fashion accessory that you might want to look at is a new handbag. While purses can also be trendy, it is the handbag that has become a real status symbol and major fashion accessory. They come in a huge array of different styles so it is common to own more than one if your budget allows. In fact, many women out there like to match their fashion accessories, including their purses and handbags, with the clothing that they wear. [Continue on Page 24] Updating your handbag every season can be an easy and relatively inexpensive way to update your whole look. If your wardrobe is filled with classic pieces that flatter your body shape and suit

your colouring, then simply choosing a new trendy handbag can instantly bring your look up to the minute.

Travel bags are also considered a fashion accessory, but differ from handbags in that a lot of them are designed for both sexes. A travel bag is generally a small bag that can be used 38

Who is Cori Edwards?

When Cori Edwards hears Yo-Yo Ma playing ‘The Swan” (Saint-Saëns) on Cello, it literally stops her in her tracks. It brings back memories of herself playing a solo at The Temple in Independence, Missouri.

The auditorium was very spiritual and the feeling of talking and playing for God, moved her soul. To watch and listen to Cori play Cello will stop you in your tracks and move your soul as well.

Her grace, mesmerizing sound and soulful feel for the instrument is a gift not shared by many.

She is a stunning, tall, red-headed beauty, shy at first, but fierce in her performance, modeling and parenting. She has been recorded with many amazing artists, Randall Shreve, where she wrote her own instrumental parts, Luna Jamboree and Kill Crows along with several other bands that she has played a part. She loves to be in the studio, to her it is a “love affair”, the exciting and endless possibilities of collaborations that give each song more depth and she feels honored to be a part of this world.

She started with dance at The Music/Arts Institute near Kansas City, Missouri at the age of 8 years. She was tested for music theory and pitch while at the Institute and wanted to play the stand-up bass, but it was too

large for her parents vehicle, so that is how Cori began her adventure with the Cello and has loved it ever since.

She began private lessons and in grade school, found that she was a very talented musician with a great deal of drive and desire. Her talent didn’t come natural, though, she had to work hard to be good and she did. In Junior High School, she quit playing for a semester, she felt she needed to try something different and she picked up a camera to test out photography, but she found it just wasn’t in her soul like the feel of playing Cello. She performed and played through high school and studied it in college. After she left college, she put down the Cello for married life and a career where she made a New Year’s Resolution to learn a new instrument each year. She started playing acoustic guitar, electric guitar, Ukulele, accordion among other instruments and took a multi-year hiatus from the Cello. She never quite felt the connection to these other instruments as she does Cello and ultimately went back to playing again, she infuses her amazing talents into all genre of musical sounds; folk, rock, blues, jazz and more.

She played in a two woman band called the Star Tarts and they were going to open for a band in St Louis, unfortunately her band mate didn’t show for the gig and that left Cori to announce them and perform the show solo. Her initial thought was, “Oh my God, what am I doing right now”, top her surprise, she didn’t have the stage fright she thought she may have, she stayed calm and put on a wonderful performance as lead. Once she left the stage, she had such an adrenaline rush, she was hooked from that moment forward. There are times when performing live that she feels disappointment, she feeds off of the crowds emotion and interaction with her bands. If her band can’t draw the audience in with their music, if they choose to walk on by and not engage with their sound, it affects her personally, as she is very aware of the actions of the crowds she works hard to entertain. She wants the audience to feel the passion she exudes while playing, the emotions that drive her music from her core and feed her soul with sound.

Music played a pivotal role with Cori getting into modeling, it first started with Deitra Magazine being interested in her music and once they saw how beautiful and talented she was, they asked her to model for one of their issues. She ended up being the cover model for that issue and she has been modeling off and on since then, doing beautifully orchestrated pieces with several amazing photographers. The images shared with this article are of her in different forms of BodyPaintArt which has been one of her most favorite types of Art to create. She has such a unique and amazing look, a classic beauty, with a smile that warms the heart and soul. She is quiet, but passionate, the desire for her to succeed oozes from her pores and fills the air with the sweet smell of success. To know Cori, to see her perform on stage and to work with her in the studio, whether behind a camera or sound recording, is a true delight that if given the opportunity, is well worth the time invested in creating with this amazing young lady.

ICONIQUE MAGAZINE OCTOBER 2018 EDITION National Poetry Month National Poetry Month was established in 1996

by The Academy of American Poets. The purpose was to help put poetry on a platform and give it the respect it deserves. While poetry and spoken word have been around for centuries, they have yet to receive the acknowledgment that other components of the artistic world has garnered. It’s true that poets like Maya Angelou, Langston Hughes, and the more colorful Dr. Seuss have gained notoriety, but poets and poetry as a whole have never been highly respected or given the correct acclaim. Although a large number of spoken word artists travel and share their gifts, none are really compensated in a manner that match their counterparts in the performing arts and aside form Maya Angelou, no other has never really gained a sense of celebrity. Now, that doesn’t mean that they aren’t working. Poets like Georgia Me (who appeared in Tyler Perry’s “Madea Goes To Jail”) and Lemon Andersen (who appeared in a number of movies including “The Pianist” and “Inside Man”) have been on their big screen grind.

Speaking of Georgia Me, she in 2008 started The Tamika Fest; an annual, weeklong festival that takes place at the end of April in Atlanta, GA. The festival celebrates poetry, spoken word, and For All of your Photography Needs. Conthose workEnt. diligently at keeping the genre All tactwho Secure Photography.

Serving relevant. While the festival sees a large number 50 States of attendees who flock from every part of the world the festival, in its 10 year tenure, has yet to be mentioned among other huge festivals like Coachella, SXSW, AfroPunk, and others. Like the Tamika Fest creator, Tamika Harper AKA Georgia Me, others have attempted to place poetry and spoken word in the limelight. Television shows like Def Poetry Jam and Verses & Flow saw temporary success with great alums like M’Reld Green from Chicago; Abyss, Tommy Bottoms, Theresa Songbird, and Queen Sheba all of Atlanta, DDE the Slammer of Indianapolis, and Black Ice of Philly just to name
