| THE VOICE BEHIND THE MIC The Mic Magazine is a brand new on-line magazine based in the Mississippi Delta in the hometown of B.B. King (Indianola, MS). The Mic is an acronym for Media Industry Coalition. The Mic has been established to offer opportunities to aspiring professionals seeking to start careers in the arts and media industry. The magazine covers everything from entertainment to current news. However, the focus is for individuals and groups to have a voice in The Mic. As Editor-in-Chief of The Mic Magazine, I am glad to say that I have worked for several different media entities which include: ESPN (Disney); The Jackson Advocate; ABC and CBS affiliates. I have had numerous opportunities to interview some of the nation’s best media- related icons of our time. My experience as a journalist has granted me the honor to interview: Mark Shapiro (ESPN/Vice President); B.B. King (Multi-Grammy Winner/Universal Records); Tonya ‘The Voice’ Ware (2009 Stellar Award Nominee/Princess Production); Eden Brent (2010 Blues Music Award Winner) and others. The quality exposure obtained through my experience as a journalist will allow aspiring artists, models, reporters, rappers, musicians, producers, writers, and the likes to become members of an organization that will further assist them professionally. |
