Truly Understanding Yourself & Passions

“

By: L. Simone Hart

”

Do you remember how excited you were as a child when you mom or dad would say come on let’s go to the beach today or we’ll eat at your favorite restaurant? When I recall these random moments of happiness it reminds me of the joyful time of childhood memories commonly referred to as “the good ole days”. Over time you grow into adolescence with a decent understanding of your likes and dislikes for people, activities and fashion sense just really coming into your own, now this process varies from person to person.

The pure joy of landing your first job having your own money and your first taste of independence and responsibility are huge to a teenager. When you’re young the simple joys of life mean so much because they’re new unexplored territories, possibly life changing experiences and they are so powerful that they can shape who we become later in life.

Through the years I have been through many changes but I always approached life with a “can do” attitude, always wanting to be the one to push boundaries, open doors and have a sense of adventure in everything I do and for any one I knew.

If some one told me no I would question why, if they were negative I would smile thinking, it must really be a hard life to be so cold and hard all the time. That’s when I realized there was strength inside of me that lots of people didn’t possess or acknowledge they even had and that’s a strong sense of self.

Being who I am and going through all of life’s changes could have very well swept me into the currents leaving me to drown in the sorrow of generations before me, but I didn’t feel that failure was an option for me. I had always heard the elders say “you’re such a sweet girl” or “you are a very smart, kind young lady you’ll go far in life.” I took these praises for granted often times underplaying my capabilities as a young woman and taking the “low road”.

I can recall friends from middle to high school and how most of them fit the same criteria as me, though we were all unique in their own way. But for the most part most of us came from a single parent home with a parent that either worked or stayed at home. In my circle I was usually the youngest in the bunch so I learned to think on my feet while staying composed and cool. Being in these situations helped me to learn what was for me and what wasn’t. For as long as I can remember there was a spark in my heart letting me know my life would be something people would be able to reflect on and maybe inspired. I say this because I am inspired on a daily by people who are motivated in life with a dream in their hearts and a vision in their minds.

So the next time you feel you’ve lost yourself or others don’t understand you, break out and do something that’s uniquely you and bask in the glory of individuality you have been given. No one has the power to make decisions for you unless you allow them to, always give yourself the chance to prove yourself to yourself. Be inspired by loved ones, lovers and friends. Open your heart to the possibilities lying within and you’ll start to see how much easier it gets with patience and practice. I believe in dreams, passion and understanding constantly seeking inspiration though life is the best teacher equal to no other.

Stop and listen to the ocean, trees and animals in the wild they have a power unparallel, reminding us of peace tranquility and those simple days of youth and innocence. We are born innocent and shall remain as such no matter what experiences we may go through.

Cover Feature Billy Bad Axx Founder of The Urban Fashion Weeks

Billy Bad Axx By: Garland L. McLaughlin It was amazing I couldn’t believe it I was actually on the line with an urban fashion icon. DJ K. Ski a networking buddy of mine set up the call it was pretty much one of the fastest relays I had ever. In no time I was interviewing the creator of the “Jet Set” lifestyle and global phenomenon urban fashion week events.

Getting to know Mr. Billy Bad Axx (Billy D. Foster) also provided me with more fluid assurance that my publication was headed in the right direction. It was very interesting to hear Mr. Billy Bad Axx talk about his beginnings, his creative style, and his hunger to jump on opportunities. Sometime all our opportunities don’t pan out the way that we would want them to, but in the end a latent gem is revealed.

Mr. Billy Bad Axx shared a little about his basketball playing experience at UMass Lowell, and how he wound up living in L.A. Even I dreamed of producing movies and getting known as an acclaimed movie creator, but I just didn’t have the right connections in my pocket.

Mr. Billy Bad Axx had these same ambitions, pursued them on a part time basis, but realized he would not be able to make things happen as fast as he wanted them happen.

Creatively Mr. Billy Bad Axx began to design and produce dress coats with his name sewn on the back of the jacket. To make the style even more unique Mr. Badd Axx was wearing these customize dress coats with fitted baseball caps and sneakers, sort of little the Russell Simons look. This style caught the attention of many and the creative style of Billy Bad Axx was born. “We are part of the history of Urban Fashion which is only 30 years old.

Support these urban retailers, urban brands and models. Our Slogan is We Will Not Stop and Cannot Stop...We are making history everyday," Founder of Urban Fashion Week Global Network Billy D Foster aka Billy Bad Axx (TM).

Evaporation A Snowflake Fell Upon God's Bed And He Smiled At Its Thoughtful Gesture.

He Tried To Shake Its Hand In Thanks But His Strength Was Too Strong & It Melted With His First Introduction.

Audrey Michelle In a instead what was once just a voice on a line waiting to spit a piece Years later has become one of the greatest talents I know When it comes to poetry .

Living in Florida with her son Audrey is a perfect example of a strong woman Taking care of her family but also doing what she loves..

From the heart , mind and bedside of Audrey , I give you‌

Different This Flake Never Was, She Is No Different From The Rest.

They All Get Cold & They All Fall And They All Become Just Dirty Water.

Snowflakes Don't Really Dance You See, They Just Move As The Wind Sees Fit. What They Create Should Be Dismissed, As Their Hearts Are Froze And Their Brains, Just Mist.

Evaporation Is A Myth, So It Has Been Determined.

As She Doesn't Rise & She Doesn't Fight She Just Lays Upon The Pavement.

Honest and raw truth is what you will get from him. Calling Texas home He has stormed into our hearts and minds with his voice and words on many avenues such as Blogtalk radio and Facebook, Its my pleasure to bring you Blacke Rose. Keep his name in mind cause he is going to be on the poetry map.

My Pen (hot freestyle) While my pen Gently weeps It leaks on Sheet after sheet Speaking volume After volume Consumed By the fumes Of pain Transmitted Through these veins From lip to tip Its drips Equipped With No other recourse As it scrawls Without remorse These reports Of real life Composed Off sight Through the eyes Of Blacke Rose And in bold print It repent's

For time spent In ill legitimate Districts Of disposition With fruitions Of something Greater And they say It gets greater Later But for now My pen Hold's me down Digging deep As it gently weeps Upon sheet after sheet Speaking volume After volume Of thoughts To complex

To dissect From one To the next Making my pen An extension Of my flesh As we are one No less Pressing on Forging vocab Unleashed On slabs Of loose leaf sheet Keeping these chronicles For all the world to see Ya see..

My pen Is the only part of me That is truly free And in terms of duality Its the lock and the key As...

It’s a honor to bring you one of the most gifted young men I have had the pleasure of befriending .Please welcome from the heart , Mind and Soul of Eddie.

Within a few short moments of chatting with this guy, I knew he had a very special gift.

Even though he hasn’t been writing long his words tell an amazing story.

I WAS 16 WHEN I 2ST RIPPED THE MIC WITH MY CUZIN FROM LONG ISLAND WHO JOINED THE MILITARY. I DONT THINK THAT WAS A WISE CHOICE BUT HIS FRIEND TRU IS AND WAS A GRAFFETI ARTIST AND I RESPECT THAT MORE. I APPRECIATE THE FACT THAT HE IS A RESIDENT OF THE INNER CIT OF BUSHWICK, BROOKLYN AND HE TEACHES BREAK DANCIN TO OTHERS AT Y.M.C.A. SHOUT TO TRU (TROOL22), THE MOST POPULAR MURALIST I KNOW IN BUSHWICK, BKLYN. HIS PIECES PROVIDE INSPIRATION LIKE "RIZE", "THINK MORE" AND THE WORD "BUSHWICK" ITSELF. SEEIN THIS WHEN I WALK HIS WAY GIVES ME RELIEF BECAUSE THERE'RE SO MANY PLACES IN NY THAT NEED ART, BAD. THE CITY NEEDS SOME COLOR TO BRIGHTEN UP THE GRIMEY, DULL SIMPLICITY OF BRICK WALLS I ALWAYS SEE NO MATTER WHAT HOOD I TRAVEL THROUGH. ST8 UP WAK YO I WISH NY WAS MORE LIKE OAKLAND AND SAN FRANSISCO. I SAW THIS BECAUSE THAT STATE IS THE OPPOSITE OF DULL. THERE ARE SO MANY MOSIACS CREATED BY YOUTH ON THE CONCRETE CEMENT SURROUNDED BY GORGEOUS PROFOUND MURALS ARTISTS BLESS THE OUTSIDES OF BUILDINGS WITH. I LOVE IT WITH A PASSION. I FEEL BLISS AND THINK OF HOPE AND UNCONDITIONAL LOVE KNOWIN HIP HOP EXIST IN A HEAVY WAY WITH NO PERVERSION OR CORRUPTION. WAT? OF COURSE I WANNA GO BACK. OH MAN I WISH I HAD ENUFF 2 TRAVEL BACK. 2 DAM EXPENSIVE. ANYWAY, ANOTHER ELEMENT CALI IS SATURATED WITH IS THE ART OF POETRY. WOW. ITS ALWAYS AMAZING, BEAUTIFUL AND PHENOMENAL. BUT THATS HOW POETS REPRESENT EVERYWHERE, EVEN THOUGH THERE IS PEOPLE WHO MISUSE POETRY AND POETRY WHO MISUSE GRAFFETI OR ANY OTHER ELEMENT OF THE HIP HOP CULTURE THEY TAKE 4 GRANTED.

HIP HOP IS ABOVE AND BEYOND AVERAGE WHICH STANDS TALL LIKE A MONUMENT OF GOLD SHININ FROM FAR. HIP HOP IS SACRED AND POETRY IS AN ELEMENT OF HIP HOP NO MATTER IF YOU KNOW IT OR BELIEVE IT. THERE IS DEF POETRY AND DEF IS AND OL SKOOL HIP HOP SLANG WORD DESCRIBIN' WHEN SOMETHIN' IS EXCELLENT. SPOKEN WORD POETRY HAS NO MUSIC ELEMENT WHICH MAKES IT EVEN MORE OUTSTANDIN' THAN IT EVER WAS. THEN THERE IS HIP HOP POETRY OR POETRY THAT EMBODIES HIP HOP'S ESSENCE AND THAT IS HOT YO, MEANIN' IT CANNOT B TOUCHED, AS IF IT WAS THE SUN.

WOULD YOU LIKE 2 BURN IN HELL? HA. SO DONT FUCK WITH HIP HOP POETRY YA HEARD? THATS WHY I LIKE TO PRACTICE AND EXPRESS, OR MANIFEST 2 ANY DEGREE, ENERGY ETERNAL THAT MANIFESTS ITSELF AS MONUMENTAL AND EXQUISITE, IN OTHER WORDS EXCELLENT IN DESIGN. I LOVE THIS BLESSIN' YO I GIVE THANKS TO THE DIVINE FOR THIS AND ONE REASON IS THAT, MY LIFE IS BETTER BECAUSE OF IT. I REMEMBER THIS ARTIST FROM THE DOWN SOUTH NAMED MIMS WHO MADE HIMSELF KNOWN TO THE MAINSTREAM OF THE MUSIC INDUSTRY WHICH IS MOSTLY BULLSHIT. MIMS IS AN ACRONYM FOR "MUSIC IS MY SAVIOR". I'M THE TYPE OF INDIVIDUAL WHO CANT FUNCTION WITHOUT MUSIC OR POETRY. I WOULD BE MISERABLE AND EVEN MORE STRESSED AND FRUSTRATED WITH REALITY UNABLE 2 CONTROL MY HATE, ANGER AND SADNESS.

DAMN I'M LUCKY I AM NOT HOMELESS AND HAVE ACCESS TO MACHINES THAT GIVE ME POWER LIKE MAGIC TO BLESS MY LIFE WITH AN INFINITE SOURCE OF ENERGY I CAN UTILIZE FOR SPIRITUAL GROWTH AND PSYCHOLOGICAL STABILITY. MY SUBCONCIOUS MIND WOULD BE A WRECK AND I WOULD AN EVEN MORE DYSFUNCTIONAL PERSON. THIS IS SOMETHIN' THAT CANNOT EXIST BECAUSE I AM A RECIEVER OF DIVINE MESSAGES WHICH BASICALLY IS WHAT A PROPHET IS. A PERSON CHOSEN TO RECIEVE LOVE, SUPPORT AND INFORMATION FROM A DIVINE DIMENSION IN ORDER TO BLESS HUMANITY WITH INSPIRATION, ELEVATION AND LOVE SUPREME. DEEP YO IM GOOD AND I THANK THE ELDERS OF THE DIVINE FOR THIS BLESSIN'. AIGHT NOW BACK TO WHAT I WAS SAYIN ABOUT POETRY AND HIP HOP. HIP HOP IS AN URBAN TOOL USED FOR EDUCATION AND A SYMBOL OF HOPE. SO IZ POETRY WHICH ORIGINATED FROM GREECE. YEA, THAT ONE SUPRISED ME TOO. FROM ANCIENT GREECE TO THE MODERN CONTEMPORARY ENGLISH AMERICAN CULTURES POETRY GREW TO BE GLORIOUS IN MANY WAYS. THIS IS WHY I PRACTICED WRITIN SO MUCH POETRY AND TRIED TO FIND A WAY TO EXPRESS MYSELF WHETHER TO HELP ANOTHER UNDERSTAND HISTORY OR FOR MY OWN GAIN. WOW I'M 28 NOW AND I'M STILL AN ACTIVE POET. IM SO INSPIRED AND FULL OF IDEAS FROM DIFFERENT SOURCES I DECIDED TO COMPOSE A COMPOSITION OF POEMS, ARTICLES AND PIECES OF ART AS A PRESENT FOR MY LIL SISTER MELODY WHO I KNOW IS SUPPOSED TO BE A POET. IF YOU WANNA KNOW I ALREDY MENTIONED IT, I'MMA PROPHET AND TO GET EVEN DEEPER IM CLAIROVAYANT. BASICALLY MR ESCOBAR IS KIND OF A PSYCHIC MEDIUM AND I TAKE THINGS LIKE THIS SERIOUS YO. POETRY CAN SAVE MY LIL SISTER'S LIFE. AND HUMANS IN GENERAL CAN LEARN SO MUCH FROM ITS BEAUTY AND POWER. THIS REMINDS ME OF A FORM OF EDUCATION ON ANOTHER LEVEL OF EXISTENCE CALLED "GRIOTOLOGY" ORIGINATIN' FROM A CULTURE IN EGYPT. A GRIOT WAS A PERSON WHO TAUGHT OTHERS UZIN STORYTELLIN AND MUSIC. THE DRUMS CREATE A MYSTICAL ENERGY THAT MOTIVATED YOUR SPIRIT TO DANCE AND BE IN HARMONY WHICH EVERYONE THERE. YO THIS SOUNDS BEAUTIFUL AND IM VEXED KNOWIN THIS INFORMATION IS RARE. I LEARNED ABOUT THIS FROM AN ALTERNATIVE HIP HOP CLASS IN THE HIGH SKOOL I GRADUATED FROM.

I HAVE SO MUCH DAMN FUN I WANTED TO CUT COLLEGE CLASSES ALL THE TIME BUT I DIDNT. STILL I LEARNED ALOT ABOUT GRIOTOLOGY AND HIP HOP AS IF I ATTENDED KRS ONE'S HIP HOP TEMPLE. THATS SOMETHIN I PLAN ON DOIN IN THE FUTURE LATER THIS YEAR YO IT AINT THAT EXPENSIVE AND I RECOMMENT YO ASS DO THE SAME. ESPECIALLY IF YOU LOVE HIP HOP AND INTEND ON REPRESENTIN' IT EITHER AS A MEMBER OF THE ELEMENTS OR JUST AS A FAN. IN ADDITION TO THAT, LEARN ABOUT GRIOTOLOGY, THE ORIGINGS OF POETRY AND TRY AND LOCATE DEF POETRY AND BRAND NEW VOICES ON DVD. THAT BNV DVD WAS SO COOL I BOUGHT 2 DVDS FOR MY LIL SISTER AS ANOTHER BIRTHDAY PRESENT, ALONG WITH A BORICUA NECKLACE AND A WHITE HOODIE AND A NATIVE PIN. NOW BACK TO THAT HIGH SKOOL I GRADUATED FROM. ITS CALLED BCHS (BUSHWICK COMMUNITY HIGH SCHOOL)...AND I HAD SO MANY AWAKENINGS, EPIPHANIES AND REVELATIONS THERE. THEN FROM THERE I WAS INTRODUCED TO A NON PROFIT ORGANIZATION IN THE SAME HOOD CALLED MAKE THE ROAD BY WALKIN WHICH IS NOW CALLED MAKE THE ROAD NY.

Beware the Online Marketing Agency With No Business Nous By: Garland L. McLaughlin

Internet, online marketing agencies, and firms are turning up everywhere claiming that they are experts in one area of online marketing or another. Sometimes potential clients cannot tell who is who online and do not know what business they should trust to handle their marketing practices. One thing is for sure a potential client should understand that although there are tough decisions to be made about selecting a marketing team to work with they need to do their homework on firms. Knowing who is who will determine whether or not a campaign will be run successfully or not. In the minds of many experts the seo agency, internet marketing company, and internet marketing agency will stand out as individual forces that potential clients will call on to except the challenges of a client’s needs.

Competing firms will often conduct pricing wars against each other to draw potential clients to their agencies or firms. The seo agency, internet marketing agency, or internet marketing company will sometimes create opportunities for potential clients to view the results of projects, so that a client can make a rational judgment on their own. Other firms will simply just stick to getting a feel for the market of potential clients and they will stick to selling the idea that they have the best pricing for their services. These firms will not be willing to give a potential client a free look period. This will make it hard for potential clients to make a clear judgment in regard to the services that an agency may be able to provide.

Marketing companies and agencies that want to have a lasting reputation to outsiders that they are leaders in their forms of practice should be up front with potential clients. If the demands of a project cannot be met a firm should let potential client know that a specific factors or factors cannot be satisfied. A potential client that has some knowledge of the specific campaign that is being run will be able to recognize if they are receiving satisfactory service or if they are being lied to. Developing and having a strong knowledge and trust with the firm that the client is working with will serve to be the best weapon the potential client will have to avoid making a bad business decision.

Partnering with a marketing firm that does not know what they are doing will be costly to a potential client.

It will be important for a potential client to ask the right questions regarding the way that their campaign or project is being handled. Taking note of the marketing process through meetings, note taking, and phone calls are proven methods of communications that create dialogue between the client and the marketing agency or company. Providing results that are business driven should be the first priority the come to mind for a potential client that is looking to obtain marketing services that they can believe in. The seo agency, internet marketing company, and internet marketing agency has a reputation for delivering successful presentations for marketing projects. Each individual agency or company that is being investigated by a potential client must be looked at with a realistic approach. Fundamentally a company or agency has to know what they are doing and back up their claims of specialty in order to be a lasting marketing agency or company.

Facebook has the unique ability to follow people around the internet by way of application technology. This application technology mysteriously follows users from the facebook platform to the another platform such as linkedin, and an intermediary has been created within facebook to tie facebook and the exterior platform together. Facebook tracks a users interests and know the interests of people that are connected to a user.

Facebook will then track which applications a user likes or is using within thirty days from requests that the users connections have sent to them by way of email and facebook.

It doesn’t matter whether an individual comments on a friends profile, picture or caption the minute this is done they are exposing their friendship contacts to people that they are not connected to them. Once a person gives the ok to go ahead and accept a friend request from someone and vice versa mutual friend lists are exposed. This gives a person the opportunity to connect with people that they may not have known otherwise.

Facebook technology will also help out a user by suggesting to a user that they should connect with one person or another, because a particular person shares a connection with someone else that is on the users friends list.

The technology that is used to catch the interest of people through blogging sites is not really talked about that much, because it is not meant to be interactive. Blogging websites usually have a standard format and their maybe one, two, or a few people writing about various topics in a standard format of text. Although facebook could be considered a complex mega blog site where people talk about any and everything information systems, applications and complex programming has gone into developing the facebook network. People are actually allowed to post links to other peoples profiles and pretty much inject what they want to say onto other people so that multiple people will be able to see this. The complex information system of facebook allows users to sell items from another website by way of the facebook platform.

Iphone tips and secrets By: Garland L. McLaughlin With a combination and variety of communication devices in the marketplace consumers like to focus on the elements that separate their device from the rest that are out there. At first users like to get real familiar with their phones, but sometimes buttons and obvious device settings get in the way. Newer technology often seems as if it will take a lifetime to understand and that is why application shortcuts were created. An example of using a technologically practical design would be to make use of some iphone tips and secrets. Iphone tips and secrets helps Iphone users customize their settings and preferences for their device, making their experience enjoyable.

A useful tip that a user would be able to take advantage of is the fact that users have the ability to navigate to specific domains by simply only typing in the key word for a domain. For example the user may be looking for www.Iphone.com, but they will only need to type Iphone into their browser.

This is commonly known as the shortcut to domain feature. Other navigation features include a back to the top of the page scrolling feature and a hint to arrive at the correct URL feature.

Both of those last two features save users time and needed battery life for their Iphones.

There are even more interesting Iphone tips and secrets that are also available to people that just like to have a lot of information at their disposal very quickly. The Iphone has a sort of on demand image capturing capability. A user is able to create screenshots of anything or any instance that comes across on their Iphone. This function is also capable on any laptop or regular computer, which also makes the Iphone experience unique. Users have the feeling and confidence that they are operating a mini mobile computer with all the necessary applications.

Users like devices that they grow comfortable with over periods of time. With different applications that are constantly getting on the market their device has the ability to combine what was thought to be impossible with possible.

Continuing development of the Iphone will only attract more brand loyalists and customers. It would only be realistic to conclude in knowing that users who know how to execute some Iphone tips and secrets probably look like they know how to handle the new modern day business world and day to day living arrangements with technology.

Icie Lynn CMO of Fresh Produce puts it all out there‌ “We are not only a marketing agency. We are a company that brands all artist, all forms of art.

What sets us apart is our passion for the artist and their vision.� We it certainly seems as if this talent cultivation firm called Fresh Produce has a lot to offer.

I became interested in interviewing with the chief marketing strategist of this not just your typical marketing and talent agency after becoming aware of their unique entertainment event organizing and conceptual delivery skills. After getting to know the CMO Ms. Icie Lynn, as she like to be called online, I started asked more in depth business related questions about her firm and her experience.

“It started as a hobby, I am actually a dancer who started with no modeling experience. Now it has become a passion,” Icie Lynn stated. How is your style different from other models? “I try and keep it edgy and sexy. I also try and keep it diverse with all photos and really show the brand or vision that the photographer was trying to portray.” Next I asked her as far as your career is concerned what is the next move? Icie Lynn answered, “I am focusing on my dance projects, all of my Fresh Produce artist, and also expanding my modeling resume.”

The Fresh Produce agency is on the move and working with six artists at this point, they are always keeping their options open to expansion. “I like to think of my audience as limitless. Reaching out to all audiences it the ultimate goal.” Icie Lynn uses social media often to keep fans and followers updated (www.twitter.com/icielynn), she is also planning to Drop two successful dance projects that will open up a new element of dance.

With much success to come Icie Lynn is a driven CMO with a plan and dedication to her craft, “I feed off of that energy and hard work.”
