I know, I know, I know…I’m a HUGE social media nerd (life is just like high school) but I recently discovered a cool news-sharing site (thanks to Laermer). The concept is simple. The sharing site Paper.Li basically turns your tweets and links into a daily newspaper. I think this is genius because we basically get most of our news stories from Twitter anyways (sorry Facebook-you’re too slow nowadays).
Anyhow, check it out, create your own newspaper and let me know what you think. I promise if you’re a media junkie like me, you’ll LOVE it! This site could probably also increase your online presence. I know my clients will be using.
A sus 17 años de edad, Chris Tavarez ha conseguido éxitos que muchos adultos no lograrán en toda su vida.
Además de ser uno de los modelos más solicitados de la agencia Click Models-Atlanta, es capitán, por segundo año consecutivo, del equipo de futbol de su escuela y es uno de los actores locales que comienza a brillar con luz propia en la escena nacional.
Chris comenzó a modelar a los tres años, a los seis ya estaba jugando futbol americano y a los ocho debutó en el mundo de la actuación.
Aparte de ser contratado con frecuencia para modelar en anuncios publicitarios y comerciales de televisión, Chris interpreta regularmente en Meet The Browns a un chico muy parecido a él mismo en la vida real. Este programa, que transmite el canal TBS, es producido por el actor y director Tyler Perry. En la pantalla gigante, Chris participó en Big Momma’s House 2 junto a Martin Lawrence, y actualmente está en plena promoción de su primer rol coprotagónico en Avalon High, una película original de Disney que se estrenará en noviembre próximo.
Also, Disney had a few words on how Chris got the role for Lance in the new Disney Channel Original Movie, Avalon High. More →

Rapper @QueenYoNasDa is Hip Hop Diva’s “Diva of the Week”
Queen YoNasDa is Hip Hop Diva’s “Underground Diva of the Week.” The online community for female rappers describes Queen YoNasDa as an uplifting, inspirational and sexy activist.
HHD (THEHIPHOPDIVA): You started in the entertainment industry as a choreographer. Why did you decide to transition to a hip hop artist?
QY (Queen YoNasDa): I started dancing on BET Teen Summit, Planet Groove, Soul Train, and I even danced and choreographed for a couple of videos, but once the wave of the video vixen came in and I was a trained dancer and I didn’t see the need of me in that part of the business. I grew up as a huge hip hop head. I engulfed myself with all aspects of hip hop from djing, graff writing, to emceeing. When I was doing the open mic circuit with a friend of mine, Sidestreet Ked from Dungeon Family was like you need to tell your story and do this rap thing professionally and that’s when I did. More →

Hey there fans,
You guys already know that Avalon High has wrapped up production and will be premiering on Disney Channel this November. The movie stars such great talent as Steve Valentine, Greg Sulkin and Chris Tavarez.

All throughout the month of July, we have helped our client and model Dawn Montgomery share her story about what its like having bi-polar disorder and being a fashion model to bring awareness to Bebe Moore Campbell’s Minority Mental Health Awareness Month. Thank you to Essence Magazine for allowing Dawn to share her story.
Are you sad, having problems sleeping or eating, having thoughts about hurting yourself, or experiencing difficulty concentrating? Or maybe you have mood swings between euphoria and irritability?
These are just a few symptoms of bipolar disorder, which affects more African-Americans in this country than most would expect. Bipolar disorder, also known as manic depression, is a mental health issue that causes extreme highs and extreme lows in a person’s mood and behavior.
Ask Dawn Montgomery, the model who was involved in T.I’s Akoo’s NJ billboard and controversial advertising campaign some months ago. The working model and full-time mother was diagnosed with what some people refer to as “the crazy disease” when she was 16, and has been managing the disorder for the last ten years of her life.
Montgomery explains how the disorder has affected her, why it isn’t a weakness in character, family or faith, or something you can resolve on your own. She urges our community to get help and not to let the issue go unresolved.
Last week, we shared a heartfelt letter to you that was written in honor of Bebe Moore Campbell. We had the opportunity to chat with the woman behind that letter, the beautiful Dawn Montgomery. Dawn Montgomery is a professional model and writer that resides in the Atlanta area. She has graced the pages of Black Men’s Magazine, a JET “Beauty of the Week,” and J’Adore Magazine, as well as a few campaigns for Akoo Clothing, PZI Jeans, and Seagram’s Gin 2009. Get to know Dawn as she discusses her personal fight with Bipolar Manic Disorder and how she has managed to keep it under control.
