On Saturday, March 27, 2010 I had the opportunity to attend the launch party of Genesis Magazine in New York City. I'm pictured with the editor in chief herself, Ms. Brittany K. Earls in the picture above.

On the same block as Grand Central Station was this celebration of new beginnings. Guests gathered on the 15th floor of a premiere office building on a Saturday evening. Fitting to the purpose of Genesis Magazine, the evening was about networking, information sharing, new possibilities and opportunities. While no one was getting down on the dance floor, all were celebrating new beginnings with a purpose!

Great connections were made by attendees. There were offers to become entrepreneurs, get help with small businesses, build your brand, meet potential financial representatives, health insurance for small business owners and more! It was also a very diverse atmosphere where people shared the goal of celebrating new beginnings.

The magazine was on hand for attendees to read and subscribe for the entire year for $20. Inside many contributors tell their stories of overcoming obstacles. Owners share their stories, entrepreneurs share their passions and artists share their talents. Others write how they broke down barriers in their lives. It's a very diverse publication with interesting subjects for everyone.

When Brittany and I were able to chat she talked about the jobs she had in marketing. She spoke of her talents and experiences that could be transferred to her own venture. Though she's had her share of doubters that a magazine without the celebrity gossip and materialistic articles could make it, she is one of the newest editor in chief's in NYC today. Brittany's magazine highlights everyday people making extraordinary differences in their lives and the lives of others.

While there is alot of work that goes into producing the implemented vision seen in the pages "it's an easy pitch," Brittany said. "It's an opportunity for people to have 15 minutes of fame," she said. "We are not chasing Tiger Woods here."

Many of the publications advertisers were on the spot for the launch. They shared information about their businesses and gave Brittany their well wishes. Brittany and her creative team has a diverse group of investors and welcomes more to support this positive publication. There is even the opportunity to become the feature of the month!

Honeydew Holistics!

Hello World,  I recently had the pleasure of introducing Alicia Hudson, owner of Honeydew Holistics , for a women's history month event at Borough of Manhattan Community College . Ms. Hudson gave a very informative presentation on womb wellness, to a diverse audience that continued to want more! I followed up by booking a Yoni Steaming, the main service provided at her new shop located in DUMBO (Down Under The Manhattan Bridge Overpass) at 53 Bridge St. in Brooklyn, NY. - A little bit of history : The neighborhoods of DUMBO and Vinegar Hill (named differently in the 1800's) housed a  free black community. Brooklyn's anti-slavery movement began in 1810 and there were black-owned businesses in this very area.  Yours truly, Melanie on site. 53 Bridge St. Ms. Hudson referenced that Essence Magazine had an event in the area some time ago which introduced her to the community. She loves her magazines as they've been the source of much inspiration in her life and business. It

Womb Wellness, Education and Celebration!

  Greetings, In May of 2003, I was 7 months pregnant and 10 days shy of my college graduation.  I’d be the first in my family to complete a degree at the time. My mom attended college, yet as a wife and mother in the 1960's, she didn't receive the support needed to continue. Her act in going inspired me. I was filled with so much promise, yet I'd need to develop a new plan. How would I care for a new life, while navigating a career in the real world? Naturally, I continued on with life discovering various paths, yet carrying so much in my womb unknowingly. Joy, Trauma and DisEase included. ——-Fast forward 17 years later ….my daughter would make me aware of a brand which would take me on journey to womb wellness.  Watch as I have a conversation with Genyii of Ahura Apothecary . Genyii is a certified mindfulness and womb wellness coach, holistic birthing doula, mother, community herbalist and owner/founder of Ahura Apothecary. In the video we discuss our journey to the sacre
