Execumama Online

A short, informative “conversation” about the purpose and the cause.

Magazine reading is a part of my occasional escape into a world of fashion, beauty, inspiration, and laughter. Publications such as Essence, O, Real Simple, Odyssey Couleur, and Poets & Writers help me unwind after a hectic day, and serve as facets of my pipeline to what’s going on outside my head. My latest find is an urban entrepreneur magazine for women, and according to Editor-in-Chief Kristy Johnson, it’s the only one of its kind! If you haven’t heard about it, check it out HERE and HERE. With a focus on the development of African American female entrepreneurial growth through leadership and balance, I’m happy to have stumbled upon this relatively new, and much-needed publication.

Um, so this a bit more than good-to-know info about a publication that celebrates the existence of the Execumama, it’s also more shameless promotion about me! I’ve been absolutely blessed to have written for other inspiring magazines, but Shepreneur definitely makes my “most proud of” list. Check out this month’s issue for my interview with Access Hollywood’s well-spoken and beautiful co-host, Shaun Robinson. Who knew there was so much more to the Red Carpet regular than great interviews and amazing arms?? This Emmy Award-winning journalist’s first book, Exactly As I Am, was written to serve as a source of self-empowerment and support for young girls — I LOVE THAT!

You can subscribe to the print and Web-based issues of Shepreneur by visiting their ning site. I for one am looking forward to seeing Shepreneur soar as its staff highlights and celebrates the Execumama in all of us!

I am giddy right now — nothing shy of ecstatic, to be specific. The Execumama clan (Kris, the girls, and moi) has been featured in the most recent Essence Magazine! YES! The May issue! The very same one that has Our First Lady and her wonderful mother on the cover, has my family plastered all over page 152…surreal! I’m trying to write this post while struggling not to float around my house on this Cloud 9 that I’ve been given today, but I had to share my joy with you! SCORE!

The issue is on stands today, so grab a copy…Michelle Obama and her mom are the cover story, so it’s a no-brainer! Check it out, along with my spankin’ new Web site (courtesy of my talented and incredibly patient designer and husband, Kris of Voz Visual Designs), and celebrate the Execumamas in your life!
