From a distance, the men of Nexus Alliance look like typical "suits," but take off the ties and the collared shirts, put them in ordinary clothing, and they look like everyday men - light skinned, dark skinned, short, tall, older, younger, a brother, a father, a son. As members of the Alliance, they represent a network of black men...

Geisha for a Day

I was a geisha for a day.

 

After kneeling on the floor, a makeup artist proceeded to paint a thick white substance on my face; my dark, shoulder-length hair was tightly pulled back and then wrapped in a peach silk scarf. Reiko, eager to please, had brought me here to an establishment in Kyoto, Japan, after I had hinted

Dear friends,

July represents so much to me. It is a sure sign that summer is officially here, the kids are out of school and there are lots of family outings, visits to sandy beaches and a much awaited trip to Puerto Rico.

 

As an entrepreneur, July's theme of liberty and independence also signifies the freedom of expression, thought and creativity coupled with the independence to start a business and a product such as Color Magazine. The Magazine's journey has taught me that with the change of every season I can see the shift and growth of the publication, in me and in my staff and those whom we highlight.

 

We hope you are as inspired by the professionals highlighted in this edition as we are.  Enjoy, and have a great start to your summer.
