TCP Magazine 20th Anniversary Edition

For the past two decades, my heart’s desire has been to make a positive impact on our world. In a media landscape often dominated by negativity, I set out to create something different—a platform dedicated to sharing uplifting stories, supporting small businesses, and nurturing communities. Thus, TCP Magazine was born with a vision to serve as both a Small Business Resource Center and a beacon of hope for those whose voices often go unheard.

As I reflect on the journey we’ve embarked on, I am overwhelmed with gratitude for the unwavering support and love that has sustained us. Behind every milestone and accomplishment lies a network of individuals who have selflessly contributed their time, talent, and resources to help us thrive. From my husband, who has been my rock and constant companion, to Denver Wright of WIZPRO Imagineering, LLC, whose vision helped shape the TCP brand, I am indebted to each one of them.

But our journey extends far beyond the confines of our immediate circle. It encompasses the myriad of contributors, sponsors, writers, photographers, and members of various groups who have rallied behind our cause, propelling us forward with their unwavering support. To all of you, I extend my deepest gratitude.

In this special issue, we celebrate the remarkable individuals who embody the spirit of resilience and dedication that defines our community. From the steadfast leadership of Dr. Nathaniel J. Wood, who has guided New Providence Baptist Church for over three decades, to the inspiring story of my husband, Ted Tatum, whose passion for music has only grown stronger with time, each narrative serves as a testament to the power of faith and perseverance.

Our commitment to uplifting voices from all walks of life is evident in the work of Edith Berry, our Social Media Strategist and Arts Editor, whose dedication to showcasing the Triangle’s vibrant art scene has enriched our pages time and time again.

Amidst the celebrations, we are reminded of Cyndi McKoy’s profound journey. Her unwavering dedication as a caregiver to her husband poignantly reminds us of the resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity.

As we look ahead to the future, we invite you, our readers, to join us in our mission of spreading good news and supporting our local businesses and communities. With each issue, we reaffirm our commitment to being stewards of positivity in a world that often seems shrouded in darkness.

To our advertisers, whose unwavering support has helped keep our magazine in print, we extend our heartfelt thanks. We encourage our readers to patronize their businesses, ministries, and services, thereby further strengthening the bonds within our community.

As we prepare to embark on the next chapter of our journey with our Anniversary Issue Part II, we invite you to be a part of our story. Together, let us continue to celebrate 20 years of making our world a better place—one story at a time.
