Multidirection

What's going on family? It's February already. Like any normal person I get so consumed by the pace of life that I haven't kept everyone up to date. Forgive me. Here's what is going down.

U.N.I. updates:


Fresh back from the Stellar Awards our team made business connections with Kingdom Swag. This is a great opportunity for both our teams because we get to take the lead on the fashion front and the KS team has a network of artists in which to build relationships to expand our brand. I'm not sure how much info I can release but expect to see some big things in April taking place in Atlanta. Also Mr. U.N.I has been working with Iz-Real of Everyday Process to design a shirt to go along with his Loser Mixtape. Take a look at what we have. Since we are on the subject,peep U.N.I's online boutique to take a look at our past collection and make a purchase if interested.

Modeling:

DC Fashion Week Feb 21-27 is a week away. Come party with me Monday Feb 21 at Tabaq Bistro. Thursday's and Friday's events are escaping me but I'll talk about it later. Saturday, come show me some love as I walk in the Menswear Showcase at the Washington Post Convention Center. I think that is the name of the location. Crap visit this site for the correct information on it.

I don't talk much about ROE on my blog but I want to let you all know that I go through a review from the agency's executive team next Saturday. They will let me know if the progress I've made is good enough for me to continue on their roster. Otherwise, I'll have to part ways with the agency and seek further improvement. I'm preparing to hear both a yes or a no. I mean, of course, those are the possible answers I could be given. If they give me a yes, then I know the rest of the year is going to be the ride of my life trying to get up to agency standards. If they tell me that I'm not ready, I can honestly say that I've appreciated my time working with the team and pushing myself to creative and personal heights that I never would have pushed myself to had I not gotten chosen.

I'm still sorting out where the modeling career will fit in to my life/purpose. I never set out to model, but since September I've experienced a lot of luck in that area. Yes I have flaws. I'm not enough of something that another person is, but from my standpoint things have worked. I've made mistakes, DC Urban Fashion Week, I've grown, and I've made it into shows that I thought I wouldn't have. If I were to be cut from the agency, I've already settled in my mind that I'm happy with who I've become. If I am asked to continue, I'm ready for the ride that they will put me on to help improve and shape my brand. Big up to Team ROE regardless of what happens. It's gettin' really real now.

Fully Functioning Society

The course that I thought was so riveting is now becoming less of such. This is probably because the questions I ask people just give blank stares as if I'm speaking Chinese, African what have you. I think it is more of a self-confidence thing. I have a high need for feedback and when people don't say anything I start thinking something is wrong with me. Silence makes me nervous for some reason. If that last sentence was a lead to an article I would have gotten absolutely no coverage. So glad I can have a forum where my writing is not being judged. My question today is does PR add value to society? Should it seek to help make society fully functional? We can see now that the consequences of a corporate culture of greed and self interest is finally bearing bitter fruit for so many industries. So now the public is demanding that CSR be the very core of business. But beyond that should PR seek an orientation to make society fully functional? This was the argument in class tonight.

This One's For The Ladies

To give some context to this statement I'll tell the story of Ruth and Boaz. Ruth's husband died and she decided to stay with her mother in law, Naomi. Naomi and Ruth are dirt poor and go through a lot of tragedy where they are. Instead of returning back to her family she decides to keep the customs of her mother in law. Naomi has a distant relative Boaz, who happens to be mad rich. Naomi tells Ruth to work in Boaz's field to make ends meet. Long story short Boaz takes a liking to Ruth and eventually they get married. Through all of the struggle Ruth went through she ends up with someone that is best for her. Now that you know this story you will understand this comment I saw on facebook: Hey Ladies, "Ruth patiently waited for her mate Boaz. While waiting on YOUR Boaz, don't settle for ANY of his relatives: Brokeaz, Poaz, Lyinaz, Cheatinaz, Dumbaz, Cheapaz, Lockedupaz Goodfornothinaz, Lazyaz or Marriedaz and especially his third cousin Beatinyoaz. Please, wait o

The Death of Nick Charles

This is my first post of 2013! This isn't really the post that I want to start the year off with so let's play catch up. For New Years I went to church, shot my first gun and drank champagne with my cousins. I was pretty excited to get back to work for the Spring semester. One reason being because each semester serves as a fresh start. Another reason being because I had a class that wouldn't start until February, so my load this time around is much lighter. I enrolled into an acting class. Our first assignment, and the reason for this post, is to pick a poem that could be delivered in a minimum of 2 minutes in length. I don't follow poetry too much so I chose the first long poem in Black Voices. It's called The Death of Nick Charles by Everett LeRoi Jones, who I later found out is Amiri Baraka. I heard of the author but never heard of the poem.  Not having a clue who Nick Charles was I did a search and found out that he was a sportscaster that died recently. This
