Happy Holidays & Merry Christmas... This has been an AMAZING year for both CulSire and myself. Let me first say, none of the success that we’ve achieved this year has been easy. But it has been well worth it, because we’ve received the love and support of our community. It feels good to know that there are other people in this world that believe in the resilience, success, and future of the Black community. I could not do, what I do, without the support of every one of you. I started CulSire with a simple love for my community and a desire to see our culture positively reflected and broadcasted to the masses. I love what I do, because I get to share #BlackLifeStories that make us proud and excited to be a part of this community. We celebrated our one-year anniversary this year, with the help of 55 Black owned businesses by our side as ad sponsors. I cannot tell you how humbling of an experience that was to have others believe in the work that we do and stand with us in solidarity. I am blessed to have the opportunity to col- laborate with like-minded individuals who understand the concept and value of teamwork. Each day, through my work at CulSire, I get to show the world and our community, the power of working together. I’m tasked with spreading sunshine, in a world that would like to see us live in darkness. But I know better. I know what we’re really made of, and I choose to focus on what’s good in our community and do the work to make us better. We have a chance to do something great in this generation, as a community. We’ve started the work at CulSire by offering a media platform to combat the negative propaganda displayed about our families and our community. It’s going to take the work of all of us to keep us moving forward in the light. You encourage us to keep doing the work we do at CulSire to bring you positive news, engaging content, tell the stories not being told by main stream media, and steer attention toward more of the information that will help us grow as a community. Thank you to every person that has sup- ported us through this year with a like, a share, a tweet, or a word of encouragement. You truly have been your sister’s keeper and I appreciate you ☺ I pray blessings over each one of you. LaNée Javet CEO & Founder CulSire
