LETTER FROM THE
EDITOR A Journey isn't a journey until you've gone through some things but I think "For Me" once I started to trip over my issues, is when I began to fall into my solutions that ultimately worked for me and as I started to listen to others stories, I could see it works for others too. THE "MAGAZINE" is my product, a lifeless platform that began to come alive when I filled with it with purpose, a purpose with unlimited and unconditional love, unity, diversity, and truth...and so much more. As an independent editor, I realized that taking my time worked best in order to provide something real, authentic, likable, and memorable to where others would start to want more. We were able to help others continue to envision themselves moving closer to their dreams, promote their successes, inform our audience about upcoming events, and even bring awareness to personal issues which ultimately helped perspectives and change lives. Good News!!! As we continue as a Lifestyle magazine, we have been able to discuss incorporating fashion in our upcoming issues because we saw that there was interest in that area from small names up to big names which will help expand the issues more and more. "Fashion has always been Evolutionary" because of the creatives and their eyes for style. I would like to encourage all entrepreneurs to keep pushing to achieve ANY dream you have because you never know who's watching and where it will take you. "Love Is Power" is definitely an issue we encourage you to read, and share with others. You'd be surprise how much you gain from all these amazing people and their reasons for why they are saying in their own way " Let Us Live" . FOUNDER AND CEO Dwyane Stovall

Rahim More than a creative, but a brand.
Gi us one word that would describe your Creative Give Style? Why? One word that describes my creative style is Unique, because I am always thinking outside of the box while pushing myself to get the best results of my life, work and experience. Is there anybody famous/non-famous that you would say you are inspired by? Why? I am continually inspired by many people. However, if I had to choose I would say that Beyonce’, Tyler Perry and Oprah are by far my biggest inspirations of this time. They embody hard work and success. ISSUE #2 | 12

RAHIM BRAZIL
Do you believe that you can bring a different vibe to the industry today? Why? Yes, I do not feel anyone is the same. My uniqueness comes from knowing myself as an artist, and allowing myself to bring a difference and introduce it to the community. What would you say has been the hardest thing ha come across so far along your journey? you have What do you think has been the easiest? The hardest thing about this journey is not knowing the road ahead. Sometimes we plan things one way and we are led on a different path. The easiest thing for me is remaining true to myself no matter what the experience. In a wider spectrum, if you could change anything in the world today, what would it be, and why? If I could change anything in the world I would Change the music. I feel like music has lost a sense of realism that it had when I was growing up. If someone how we could get back to that, I think we will bring music appreciation back into our homes. Tell us one thing that no one knows about you? No one knows that My nickname is Chuckie. I used to love the movie Child’s Play, Although Scared of it. What would you want people to obtain from you and your work? I want people to be inspired through my work and be encouraged to follow their own dreams.
Have you ever had the opportunity to work with someone of interest in the work that you do? If yes, who? If no, who would you like to work with? I have had the pleasure of interviewing various celebrities and socialites, but I would like to work with Angela Bassett the mother of Acting. What advice would you give to someone interested in your career field or pursuing to be an entrepreneur? Like Nike, JUST DO IT! We always have a certain amount of fear that keeps us from obtaining what we desire, but if we prepare ourselves everyday working toward our goals we’d be surprised at what we can accomplish. We have to fight and fight hard for these dreams. If you had the opportunity to give back to charity, what charity would you give to? I used to give back to the homeless, they always had a soft-spot in my heart because people need homes. Everyone should have one. So Maybe partnering with a Homeless foundation Like Atlanta Mission. There are so many things in our lives li we cherish, but what would you say would be the one thing that you “LIVE” for? Why I LIVE FOR GOD! I believe that when you live for God you also live for people, because God cherishes people. I live to also use these talents given by God to give to people. These gifts and talents are his, im just using them to inspire the hearts of the people of whom he li lives inside.

BROWN
BOYS Lemonade
Brown Boys Lemonade stand started in 2013, when founder Anthony wanted to buy a video game to play during his Summer vacation. The cost of the game was $100, and Anthony didn't have that much money in his allowance. He asked his parents to purchase the expensive video game for him. Anthony's parents told Anthony that they would help him pay for the video game, if he raised half of the money to pay for it. Together they brainstormed on fun ways to earn money. They came up with the idea to sell lemonade outside of a local business. They tested several recipes, and finally found the perfect one. Two weeks later, Anthony sold lemonade at his lemonade stand and made over $200! Anthony had a lot of fun, and really liked making money too! Selling lemonade was so much fun, Anthony started selling his lemonade regularly throughout the Summer. His younger brother Ja'Den joined the lemonade stand a year later, and the two have been in business together ever since. In 2017, Brown Boys Doing Business became an official business and Anthony and Ja'Den became official business owners of Brown Boys Lemonade. Their first order of business? Taking their fresh squeezed lemonade from cups, to bottles, and in homes everywhere! Anthony and Ja’Den are on a mission to “quench thirsts everywhere”, and they’re definitely off to a great start! In 2018 the self-proclaimed “Lemonade Kings” secured they’re FIRST restaurant partnership with neighborhood wings and burger restaurant, “JR Crickets on MLK”, in downtown Atlanta, GA.
MISSION: Anthony and Ja'Den, brothers and co-owners of Brown Boys Lemonade would like to virtually introduce themselves to you. Anthony and Ja'Den are 11 and 8 years old, and currently OWN AND OPERATE their own bottled beverage business out of Atlanta, GA. These two brothers make, bottle and sell their own brand of lemonade. Brown Boys Lemonade is all natural, homemade and made with brown sugar and honey! Not only do the Brown Boys Lemonade brothers strive to produce the BEST LEMONADE IN THE WORLD, but they aim to motivate and encourage other young kids, especially “Brown” boys and girls of diverse backgrounds to pursue their dreams of entrepreneurship and financial literacy / independence. In the future, Anthony and Ja’Den foresee a network of business owners/ operators under the age of 18, that will help shape the future of our multifaceted communities in the United States of America.
