FROM THE EDITOR Tawana Blassingame Founder & Editor in Chief
Welcome to the March 2017 issue of Queen Size Magazine. This issue I would like to dedicate to the many people that don’t think they can. I am living proof that you can do anything if you put your heart and mind to it. A recent conversation reminded me of how far I have come. When I started this publication I started it with a dollar and a dream. I learned so much along the way. There were many times when I wanted to give up because I didn’t feel like people took my publication seriously; but I stuck with it and gained the respect of so many people that told me no in the beginning. If you love what you do stick with it, but do it right! Make sure you are giving your potential clients what they are looking for and not necessarily what you like. You can be successful but you have to love and respect what you do. Take the first step in Faith. You don’t have to see the whole staircase; just take the first step. ~ Martin Luther King, Jr. Thank you all for continuing to support Queen Size Magazine. We would love to hear your feedback. Email us at queensizemagazine@gmail.com and let us know what you like, don’t like and/or want to see in future issues. We value your opinion.
