Peace Ms Lee, I picked up the magazine last Fall at a grocery store in Brooklyn and loved it. Its dope to see a health focused magazine relating to or highligting people of color and their lives.
My question I want to ask is if you are the art director ever consider working with visual artists to create illustrations (portraits, figures, hand drawn type, etc) for essays or short pieces in the magazine. I would love to link up with the art director if thats possible. Please write back when you have a chance.
Keep doing what you all are doing! Love+light.

Att: Kendra
I’m Rosalyn McMillan, author of six novels, Knowing, One Better, Blue Collar Blues, The Flip Side of Sin, This Side of Eternity and Midnight Pawn. My first novel, “Knowing,” sold over a half million copies. My books are inspirational and are taken from today’s headlines. My themes address issues that are important to young and mature women.
I have a new novel, “We Ain’t The Brontës,” coming out January 25, 2011. The theme of the book is sibling rivalry. I’ve become an expert in this field and would like to write an article in your magazine about the subject matter.
Sibling rivalry was just addressed in Sunday’s Parade Magazine. There are dozens of blogs that I am affiliated with on sibling rivalry that is drawing a lot of visitors. It’s an old problem with new facets and issues.
I am focusing on sisters. I believe that there are a lot of sisters out there who are estranged. I’d like to reach out to those women and help them reconnect with their sister.
My article would be 300 to 1200 words; whatever you decide, and at no cost to you.
Thank you,
Rosalyn McMillan
