The Soultown! Volume III: Issue 7 JULY 2019 | Page 2

EDITOR’S NOTE
Hello, Beautiful Readers of The Soultown!
July is a wonderful month, right in the midst of the summer, enjoying the bright sunshine, and attending family reunions.
This month, The Soultown Digital & Print Magazine will be distributed internationally. The collaboration with The
Clubhouse Network will allow readers to learn about the 22 other countries that are uniquely and creatively teaching
youth technology -- via afterschool programming. Our first feature is Kahmal London from Boston, Massachusetts.
Chef Derrek reveals his secret recipe to the best pizza crust, while The Soultown’s very own Big Q & Dear Gabby
give advice on the African Beauty hairstyles and moving away from home. Our Symbol of Peace takes on a summer
venture to teach a Civic Engagement class to a group of teens, while Miguel Gonzalez debuts with Talk of the Town.
As always, our Innovative Extraordinaire, Chillin shares -- in the Sankofa Vow -- her experience teaching spoken
word online to a group of diverse teens from the Classic Upward Bound program from the University of Northern
Iowa Center for Urban Education and so much more!
I am Priscilla Culp, Guest Editor-in-Chief for The Soultown International Digital & Print Magazine and I thank
you for having SOUL!
