Aspiring Artist Magazine Vol 1 Issue 1 April 2014 | Page 2

It has been a long time dream for me to release something that will help others. The hardest thing about the creation of the magazine was getting people to believe that I was actually trying to do something for them when the people behind the scenes knew exactly what I was doing. Part of dreaming is believing when no one else does, achieving when no one else helps, and reaching when there is no hope. I have grounded myself in the faith I have in God and in doing so I have found strength from within to endure the many struggles that have come against me. I would be lying if I said there were not times when I didn’t want to give up, I would also be lying if I said there were not times that I didn’t want to abandon my dreams. Every time I wanted to give up, God showed me something different and put someone in my life who gave me a reason not to want to give up. I am truly thankful for the models, artist, musicians, poets, and others who believed in me to make this happen.

To get personal, I will first like thank Mr. Ian James in creation of this magazine. I would like to thank Ms. MarShayla Thompson for being an inspirational model and friend when I needed help the most. Believe it or not I would like to also thank Tarerus Moore, Forever Fresh Entertainment, for being a mentor and partial business partner in the last 6 months of my life. Even though business did not turn out like it should have, I still thank you for everything I learned, good or bad. To all those who support me, I thank you. To all those who doubted me, I thank you. Lastly, to those who will do future business with this magazine, you are in for a surprise. I can assure you that every issue of this magazine released, we will produce something brand new, hot, inspirational and fashionable. My company prides itself on its image, even though it hasn’t always been its best, Image is everything. It’s been a long time coming and in the words of a great artist, Jay-Z, ON TO THE NEXT ONE…….

Thank you for your support!

See you in May!
