nothing more, nothing less!
The way in which we choose to
spend our hours and our days, is
the way we spend our lives. So
be wise & ask God to help you to
maximize it!
I dedicate this issue to my
beloved sister, mother of 4
amazing beings whom she
graciously lived for: Brittany,
Chelsea, Johnnian & Hasan (who
also collectively sacrificed their
livelihoods to take care of their
mother day-in & day-out.)
The wife to an extraordinary man
Akwasi Boadu, who blessed
her with the opportunity to
appreciate & understand what
REAL LOVE was.
A sister, aunt, and confidante to
everyone who she connected
with… Marie-Nicole Boadu - Sis,
you left a void in our world, but
also etched your fingerprints
in our hearts by the way you
touched our lives! I
love you & We miss
you & ALL of our
other fallen Angels
who’ve fought a
great fight in 2019.
You earned your
wings & graduated to becoming
our sacred Guardian.
Proverbs 16:9, “We can make our
plans, but the LORD determines
our steps.” Thank you my dear
friend Amos Chefrere, for this
simple reminder!
We are privileged & super
excited to have the support of
the SEOPW MiamiCRA & The
City of Miami Commissioner &
Chairman Keon Hardemon for
gracing the Front Cover of our
last issue of 2019.
We’re also extremely grateful to
all of our continued Sponsors,
Contributors, Supporters &
Advertisers for believing in
us and considering us to help
share their vision and passion
with our audience. We love and
appreciate you immensely, and
THANK YOU from the top… we
couldn’t have ended 2019 as
strong as we did, without your
amazing support!!!
I’m blessed and very
grateful to be on track and
progressively moving forward
with my amazing daughter,
Designer, Stylist, Inspiration
& Accountability Partner
Maria Aponte aka Painted
Swagg- Thank you for loving
me unconditionally, standing
in the paint with me & for
keeping me on track to fulfilling
God’s purpose… I couldn’t have
conquered 2019 without you. I
Love you immensely!
I’m looking forward to bringing
out the BEST of 2020 by
collaborating with various
Movers, Shaker &
Tastemakers in our
communities to
better engage our
readers with the
latest and greatest
in entertainment,
community news, local
happenings, music, etc.
Until we reconnect again in 2020,
I’d like to encourage you to make it
your aspiration to be an inspiration
to others; while encouraging
others to be the SHIFT that they
need for themselves; so that they
too can live their lives fearlessly
& abundantly - while declaring
that, no weapon ever formed
against them shall ever prosper
in their life!
