FEAR NOT: "I Ain't Never Scared!"

Greetings All,


It is hard to believe that yet another year has come and gone. With the arrival of 2008, we see the occasion to jump upon new challenges, to set new goals and to meet them head on with great and unchallenged enthusiasm and a wild energy. But before we speak more on 2008, a word or two must be said of 2007.

Last year was a wonderful year for us in terms of new growth accompanied by a broader appeal in important markets. Last year saw the continued branding of the Fashion Insider name. With new television programs and media partnership deals, the year started strong and remained so throughout the entire 12 months.

Celebrities played a secondary, yet extremely important role in our development and growth among younger readers. And over the holidays, I too partied like a rockstar with quite a number of them including P. Diddy, Young Joc, Luther Campbell (aka Luke Skywalker of Two Live Crew), Frank Ski, Ashford & Simpson, Mayor Shirley Franklin of Atlanta, Malik Yoba, David Guetta and the singers Chris Willis (Now That the Love Is Gone, Money, Just A Little More Love, Love Don’t Let Me Go) and Cosi (Baby When the Light). [To read more about that (and on how I accidentally burned Cosi with a pot of tea), just CLICK HERE.]

In my January 2007 editorial aptly titled, Don’t Hate Me Cause I’m Beautiful , I challenged each and every one of our readers to find new confidence in themselves and to push forward with their own personal development agenda. I cautioned them to avoid the would-be traps laid by those who wish to derail us all through due to their own machinations, jealousy, envy and their overwhelming sense of foolish pride. Numerous are those of you who have written to me to give me news of your own personal success stories which you made happen over the course of the year 2007. I am very happy to know that last year was such a powerful “rebirth” for so many of you. ...
