From the Founder
DELISHA SYLVESTER
With this issue we decided to focus on the issues that are
affecting our country. It is important to not only inspire
others, but also focus on what people are dealing with on
a day to day basis. We cannot pretend that our country
is uncovering what has been swept under the rug for so
long. In the last few weeks we’ve seen so many black men
and women die. Of course the question “Why?” comes
up, but we know this answer. Racism is and has always
been plaguing our society. Now that is being pushed to
the forefront we need to stop asking why and start asking
“What can we do?” “What can we as individuals do to
help?” “How can we use our own talents to
bring awareness and change?” I don’t
have the answers, but what I do know is
that silence is just as bad doing nothing.
The more you share, the more you have
constructive dialogue, and the more you
connect with others that are helping the
cause the more change you will be able
to see. With this issue I hope you learn
something, I hope that you connect
with those that have shared their views,
and as always....
Happy reading
