JULY/AUGUST ISSUE

Posted by Editor On JULY - 18 - 2011

Time flies, can you believe we are already past the half year mark? Just the other day we welcomed the New Year with long lists of resolutions. Well, the year doesn’t feel so new anymore, it’s that time of the year when energy levels sink, we get sucked into the routine of life and many times become complacent. All these are symptoms of Mid Year blues.

MAY/JUNE ISSUE

Posted by Editor On JULY- 18 - 2011

Growing up, I was a ‘someday girl’. I had dreams of someday publishing a book, someday working for a newspaper, someday being an editor, someday. Until one day many years later I woke up to the realization that someday was today; the only assurance we have, not 2 years from now or tomorrow but today.

APRIL ISSUE

Posted by Editor On JULY - 18 - 2011

For some April habitually brings in to mind Spring; sunshine, blooming flowers, the green of trees and sliding into flip flops. For me, April is just April because luckily where I live the beauty of ‘Spring’ and getting high on Vitamin D is something I experience every day.

MARCH ISSUE

Posted by Editor On JULY - 18 - 2011

As I kid, one of my all time favorite TV shows was 'The Jefferson’s'. As I write this, the theme song is playing in my head. “Well we’re movin’ on up, to the east side, moving on up, to a deluxe apartment in the sky. Moving on up, to the east side, moving on up,we finally got a piece of the pie.

FEBRUARY ISSUE

Posted by Editor On JULY - 18 - 2011

February is a special month, apart from the red roses, boxes of chocolate, great deals and the romance, it’s also the month we celebrate the history and contributions of African American men and women to society in the name of Black History Month.

JANUARY ISSUE

Posted by Editor On JULY - 18- 2011

Happy New Year!Yes, I know I'm a little late on the wishes just like the way I'm late with our new January Issue but it's finally here. New year, new layout, new name, basically, new things. Its all about the new new! For all those who knew this blog as The Ladies Room, I now introduce you to AfroElle; a blog for women of afro-descent from all over the world.

DECEMBER ISSUE

Posted by Editor On JULY - 18 - 2011

The year has literally flown by, I can't believe it's already December. To many, December is a month of in depth self evaluation and stock taking; taking that walk down memory lane to see if you accomplished the goals you set at the beginning of the year.It's also about looking at your present to see what has worked for you or what you need to eliminate before you head on to the new year.

Imagine, Drive and Grow

“Ambition is the germ from which all growth of nobleness proceeds.” Oscar Wilde

You began with a vision, one that hopefully transcended the wish to simply make money. That is ambitious, by that I mean your aim to do more for your business, your clients, employees, suppliers and the community in itself is one that pushes beyond the norm. It is an inspiring story that is pursued with a core focus on vision and a concentration on objectives to achieve your goal. You aim to be much more than just payments, returns, salaries and job perks. Your company is a lifestyle unto itself, unique, a great brand that is recognizable and understood in its entirety by the mere sight of your colors.

According to Stephen Covey, we should always begin at the end. Imagine if you will exactly how you want your company to be like, down to the lounge, kitchen and lowest salary. Begin there and set up building blocks to achieve this. Drive the vision, manage the reality and strategise throughout. Tactics are for ‘biasharas’, yours is a movement.

“Vision without action is a dream. Action without vision is simple passing time. Action with vision is making a positive difference” Joel Barker.  

Imagine that which you wish to achieve, really tap into the ‘childish’, creative side of you and go crazy. Then come back to reality, sane, focused and set on building it as you see it.
