In every issue we focus on What’s Happening Now? and “Beating the Odds”, life experiences that one may go through and overcoming those obstacles. We have “Unity “ where we come together as one to help those in time of need and helping the community. “Here and Now” unsigned artists trying to reach that mark, and being consistent in investing their time to be heard and seen.
