A quick look at the upcoming issue

Before posting today's blog, I thought it necessary to put my picture up and add the photo to my profile....

The second issue is in production and already some exciting changes are taking place. Among the delightful articles will be a piece on Marlon Hill Esq. as he talks about the development of delancyhill, PA, the law firm he founded with his partner and high school friend Michele Delancy. Hill was recently been named as a representative of the Jamaican Diaspora and he has also debuted his radio show Caribbean Crossroads. This promises to be a real interesting article with some real thought-provoking insights from someone who is very committed to the Caribbean community in South Florida.

The second issue will also feature a more enticing and attractive cover and colorful graphics. As the magazine takes shape, it is essential to develop a colorful theme that is characteristic of the people that it is intended to appeal to. So a lot of work is currently being done to make this a reality.

A major aspect of any venture is sound financial planning and discipline. So everything becomes a cost benefit analysis. With limited resources (as every firm will attest to) it is imperative that the magazine obtains advertising dollars to support it. So the phone calls to various businesses will continue to try and get credibility and advertising dollars from potential advertisers. At this point the going is slow but promising.
