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!

Economics, Balance and Love!

Hello World! I attended the 13th Annual Rainbow PUSH Wall Street Project Economic Summit this afternoon in New York, NY. The topic: “Targeted Stimulus: A Call to Equity and Parity.” The event dates are January 13-15, 2010 at the Sheraton New York Hotel & Towers. www.wallstreetproject.org The Project was founded on January 15, 1996 to honor the birth of Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and the beginning of the first quarter of the business year. The Project’s organizational origin, as referenced on the website, rests with the Southern Christian Leadership Conference’s Operation Breadbasket, established by Dr. King in 1966 to work toward a more inclusive America by combining theology with the struggle for economic justice. This afternoon’s highlights included: New York State Governor David Patterson receiving the Percy Sutton Award and Pastor Hezekiah Walker receiving the Reverend Timothy Wright award. The United States Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack spoke of the many oppo...

The Tea at MEC!

Left: Dr. Patricia Ramsey, President Medgar Evers College and Right: Yours Truly, Melanie Lewis  Hello ThresholdWorld Fam, It’s been a while so we’re gonna start off with some flavorful news to warm your spirit.  Sunday, August 28th was the Medgar Evers College (MEC) Pre-Inaugural High Tea Fundraiser in honor of the Sixth President, Dr. Patricia Ramsey.  President Ramsey is the first female and scientist to serve at the college. You’ve got to read her fascinating bio of accomplishments.  https://www.mec.cuny.edu/office-of-the-president/  While contributing to the history she really just wants to make a difference to students and the school community.  She also has cool ties to the schools namesake in  her family tree. Her very own cousin Curtis Harris, served to make sure Medgar Evers legacy was protected back in Mississippi years ago. She shared these sentiments to those of us in attendance as we sipped our tea and tipped our hats in her honor. Speaki...
