WOW! If you did not attend the WOW Event, you missed an amazing event. It was awesome and everyone left feeling rejuvenated. I am still on a high from the whole experience. Who would have thought that we could take this event to a level of excitement, and perfection. Four years in a roll and it is getting bigger and better. This year’s WOW Event helped us raise money for next year’s STEP UP Program and we intend to take the youth program to another level. Everyone on the team is extremely excited. Our dream of expanding the program will actually come to fruition. Next year will be the third summer for the program and if everything goes well, we will be expanding the program by taking it to the inner city, Detroit. I believe that the STEP UP Program will become a household name and touch the lives of many youth who desire to become entrepreneurs. That’s the goal and each year, we will expand the dream.
In this issue, we want you all to enjoy the pictures taken of this year’s WOW Event. You will see the faces of the many attendees who partook of this joyous occasion. The highlights of the event were the youth who participated, Christian Marcum, and the Kingdom Kids Dancers who you will see in this month’s issue. One of our alumni, Mr. Mohammad Monet, was a guest speaker at the event whose touching testimony moved the audience almost to tears. I also spoke; my speech being entitled “It’s Your Turn”. And let’s also acknowledge the many vendors who were able to provoke our attendees to spend a lot of money. The food was great, and the spirits were high and that will be evident when you see the pictures with the many smiles on their faces.
But the WOW Event is not the only element featured in this issue. You can look forward to getting many inspiring and informative articles in
this issue written by the experts and those who wrote their articles with passion. The magazine has the same zeal, excitement and excellence that we always convey every month. I know you will thoroughly enjoy this issue as you have enjoyed the others. I am hoping that you will forward this issue to all of your friends and family members and tell them about the fabulous publication. Don’t forget it’s a one stop shop and it’s mission is to showcase ordinary people who are doing extraordinary things in their homes, and communities. Now you know my advice, sit in your favorite seat and use your favorite electronic device to view the magazine, and make your favorite beverage. Getting ready to take a journey that will literally encourage and change your life as you Discover ......Your Own Uniqueness! Be Blessed!!!
