NICOLE Y DUNCAN-SMITH (NY/PA)
Yes I do have devotional time privately and with my family. I also have a prayer partner and mothers in the spirit that help me focus on God and my inner god. I do it early in the morning and late at night. There is no set time for my devotion but it is spirit lead and blessed.
It is an all purpose entertainment firm that has a focus on families and young people. We afford corporations or production companies strategic marketing and brand building resources. We also offer niche marketing for publishing houses and non-profits. Recently, we have developed strong marketing campaigns and have even been able to assist in structuring office transition for several high brow public relations firms.
We have a comic book division that has worked with Marvel, DC and Diamond Distributors. This focuses on many aspects of that world including; support for the KidsComicCon and teaching "Leadership through Comics" & "People of Color in Comics" with the New York Department of Education.
TDHG also serves as a business management depot for Karen's Body Beautiful, Serchlite Multimedia and Suga Yam productions.
There are so many successes. We have assisted in establishing the Kids Comic Book Convention, produced an animated film and graphic novel for Blokhedz- including a strip series with Hearst Publishing, obtained a contract through the S.T.A.R.R. organization to teach comics in many schools throughout Brooklyn, assisted cartoonist Kyle Baker with his publishing house including his award winning graphic novel Nat Turner and provided marketing assistance for Directory Michael Shultz Imajimation Studios. We were hired to oversea in tangent with Chris Rock and Bill Stepheny, their internship program at Comedy Central. We have been consulted and hired to do marketing for Alvin Ailey, Manhattan Children's Theatre, Battery Dance Company, Purelements Dance Company, the Thurgood Marshall Broadway play and Disney's Dan Zane. I have also produced two books, I Am Hip-Hop, Helium Press and A Fairy Tale in Brooklyn, Karen Hunter Publishing/Pocketbook/Simon and Schuster (Winter 2009)
4.What early part of your life's journey prompted you to create this as such a necessary outlet?
I always knew that entertainment can change the world view of young people. And my work w Sen. Vincent Hughes and Donna Frisby molded my thought patterns on how to connect the two (young people & entertainment) in a healthy way. They help graphed the circus of my life. I also was inspired by teachers like Ms. Slade, Don Carlos, Bro. Skief, Ms. Flournoy, Dr. Wade and Ms. Herr who always said I could be bigger and do better.
5. With some of your successful experiences allowing you to connect with other purposeful people (such as being a Board Member of the GodGirlz Network and the Nikuri Multi-Cultural Center) what are some of your day to day activities?
There are so many purposeful people, of whom I don't see often, that I have connected with throughout my career. But on a day to day basis, I prefer to work alone or in a vacuum so that I can stay focused on what I need to do. Facebook is helpful, because I can talk without talking. My office is in my home, so I can actually invest some time in the priorities of my life; my husband and daughter.
6. What do you do for fun? What new fun thing would you like to try?
For fun I play games with my daughter... like Connect Four, Sing Star, and Make Daddy Look Silly. I also draw with the family and I dance at my church. I had the "straight up blazing" fun when I worked in the music industry... fun for me seems boring to most. Oh yeah... I love celebrality shows and cartoons. I would like to start lazer tagging again.
7. One thing on my Life List (something you'd still love to accomplish but haven't done yet in this lifetime) is...
I'd like to create a book and series franchise like Harry Potter for my children's novel, A Fairytale in Brooklyn. I would also like to take care of my mother the way she deserves to be taken care of.
God.
9. What are 2 qualities that you prefer and respect about your mate at this point in your life?
His warm spirit and his love for his family.
10. Who gave you 1 really good piece of advice early on and what was it?
My mother, Vera Teague. Always treat people with dignity... speak to the bus driver in the morning... they work hard and you may be the only one that does. Speak to the people serving your food and the janitors... they are truly invested in your health and lives and are the people that the world passes by but without them we would all die. God will spill favor on your compassion.
11. What piece of business advice would you like to share?
"No" is not always a bad word. When a door shuts work hard to find the open window and do only the things that make you happy... and never, never, never step on someone to make yourself look good.
14. What word would best describes you right now? BLESSED

DeJANIERA LITTLE (PA/NC)
I currently live in Philadelphia, PA. I have lived in NC beyond college -- I love the south it's such an culture all its own.
5. What early part of your life's journey prompted you to create this as such a necessary outlet I work for a non profit agency geared towards helping women move from welfare to self sufficiency.
Alot of my students come from a troubled past full of confusion and nonsense. I have had my experience of listening to horrible tragic stories of violence with these women. I joined the organization because it's now about education and empowerment. I'm always prepared to assist any student make a clean break -- It's all about recognizing the signs and I want to assist in the journey towards freedom.
6. With some of your successful experiences allowing you to connect with other purposeful people (such as being a active member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Incorporated, well versed in internet marketing and a vital spark for a Utility company) what are some of your day to day activities?
My day consists of working with my students during the day. I'm assisting with resume writing, interviewing skills and sometimes I just have a round table discussion about life's issues. I concentrate on building my relationship with them. With a good relationship comes great results. In the evening I work on my travel business and assist people with ideas on how to market their business on the internet. My goal is to build a global brand. I learn from alot of internet marketers and take something from each of them. I'm a business and relationship builder. I feel that is important in business today.
7. What do you do for fun? What new fun thing would you like to try?
Fun -- did someone say fun...! Well I love shopping and spendng time with my son. I hang out with my girlfriends. Whatever comes up -- I'm not hard to please when it comes to having a good time.
8. One thing on my Life List is...working on a few things -- I want to open my dream business and I want to get my Doctorate in Business Administration. Believe it or not, I've just been accepted in to a really good Doctorate program! I'm so excited! Life is so short -- I think we all should work towards achieving our dreams.
9. What/Who keeps your grounded in this ever changing world?
In this ever changing world -- I have to keep my faith in God-- I have to. I need that to lean on. I lean on my faith alot. My students also keep me grounded.
10. What are 2 qualities that you prefer and respect about your mate at this point in your life?
At this point in my life I want a mate that respects how I feel. I love one to one conversation and I want a mate that will challenge me to be the best me I can be. A friend of mine asked me a few years ago if I could paint a picture of what love looks like, what would it be. I couldn't answer nor could I picture it. Today, I know what it looks like. I know exactly what kind of love I want to have.
11. Who gave you 1 really good piece of advice early on and what was it?
My mom gives great advice -- although she thinks I don't listen to her, I do hear her. She always told me to never neglect my education. The knowledge that is gained is something no one can ever take away from me. She also told me to pray everyday because God hears me. This is the same advice I share with my son on a daily basis. Thanks mommy!
15. What word would best describes you right now? BLESSED
1. If there's a song that reflects your vibe, what would that song be? Do you meditate, pray or/and take time to mentally relax? If so, what part of the day? For how long?
I love music so it's hard to pinpoint a specific song - but for right now, today, this moment, it would be Mary J Blige's "Work That" -- I love it, it sums up alot of what I'm doing in my life right now. I'm working it from every angle - from business to love life to education -- My life is pretty full right now and I'm loving every minute of it! I usually sit still and listen in the evening -- with the industry I'm in a mental break is needed daily. So I just sit still and relax for about 15-20 minutes. I don't get a chance to meditate every day. But I try as often as possible. As far as prayer is concerned, I pray all the time. I constantly ask for guidance in my everyday life.

2. Tell us about WARM SPIRITED TRAVEL.
Warm Spirited Travel is my online travel agency. I use this business opportunity to empower women to branch out and own market their own online businesses. I also speak to groups and non profits about the benefits of using travel as a funding source for raising money and traveling at the same time. With my travel agency, I'm able to give away trips as door prizes and raffles to various affinity groups and networking clubs. It's a great business and I love planning trips for large groups. I just became a spa and honeymoon specialist -- I can't wait for wedding season! I have alot planned for Warm Spirited Travel.
3. Since it's creation, what new result (s) and/or positive occurrences are you most proud of so far?
I'm really proud of the networking opportunities my online travel business has brought me. I belong to a a few social networking groups and I have gained business from those groups. I'm actually most proud of being able to help people more so than the money. Sometimes money is not the end all -- it's being blessed with the opportunity to change someone's life. This is where I beam with pride!
4. You are apart of the NATIONAL COALITION AGAINST DOMESTIC VIOLENCE. Please tell about the organization. The NCADV is a national organization that advocates for the women and children who are victims of domestic violence. The organization empowers and educates those involved on recognizing the signs and what to do about it.
It's a wonderful organization and with the current increase of reported cases in the media, we all need to be educated on the very tell tale signs of a relationship what is powered by control. I work with a few of my students who are in violent relationships. I not a counselor or a professional who is equipped to deal with those issues. I'm just a listening ear and I offer advice. I do however refer them to someone qualified and equipped to handle their situation.

I'm excited that I have a good home base and that I am blessed that family is on FB. Now I have contact with relatives in California that I hardly ever see! I got more
joy from seeing their faces and being able to connect. I'm excited about being able to know that I have a purpose, that I share joy and that I am actively reaching my potentials day to day... I can do all things through Christ who giveth me strength...
I want to share that message with all who toil- ...Nothing is Impossible with GOD! You can look at your past to propel you to your future when you realize how much further along he has already brought you! DON"T STOP! DON'T QUIT! Stick to it! PRAY all the time- fill your ears with voices of God's ministering singing angels...
I'm always smiling because every day that I ask for a sign of his presence, he places pennies at my feet... My reminder that- "In GOD we Trust"! AMEN!
Thank you for giving me a place here! M.L. Swanson
