OMG! Did you feel the earthquake at 1:51PM today? At a startling magnitude of 5.8, this earthquake originated in Louisa County, VA, only 84 Miles from D.C.! It rattled as far as Toronto, Canada all the way down to Georgia! As my office building evacuated and I witnessed everyone in D.C. flooding the streets, I couldn't help but wonder, is the DMV really prepared for an earthquake?

It has been two years since sultry voiced singer Chrisette Michele released her debut I Am. Blessed with a gorgeous instrument and described as a “soulful songbird” by Entertainment Weekly, she proved to the world that she could live up to the hype. Nominated for a BET Award for Best New Artist as well as two Grammys, I Am was both a critical success and a fans delight. Still, when it came time to begin recording her follow-up, Epiphany, she realized the need to challenge herself. “I felt like I was a little too shy and laidback my first time out,” confesses Chrisette. “On my new project I wanted to raise the bar and step-out of my comfort zone. I wanted to make songs that were more edgy, youthful and urban. Recruiting talented collaborators that include Ne-Yo, the singer/songwriter has infused her jazz vocal style with more pop. Marking a transition away from her traditional leanings to a fuller integration of hip-hop soul, Chrisette Michele was clearly conscious of the next level.

Fashion carries a different meaning for everyone. For some fashion is signing up to Louis Vuttons mailing list to get notified of the latest Luxury designed sneakers before Kanye West gets hold of it while fashion for a student at Central Saint Martin is awaiting a reply from Jeremy Scott for an internship at his accessory department. Pragmatically fashion is what’s attached to the body and the essence is therefore to wear fashion. But is wearing fashion a prerequisite for being fashionable or is the clothes just the tip of the iceberg with a stronger essence beneath the water surface.

African Immigrant Enterprise in Metropolitan Washington, D.C.
Source: Africa Yellow Pages
Starting a new business requires innovation, risk taking, hard work, and a lot of discipline. For African immigrants, who have settled in the Washington, D.C., area at least 7,000 miles from home, even more is involved. African immigrants must learn American business practices, laws, and success strategies. Many rely on traditional skills, such as hair braiding, tailoring or dressmaking, and cooking as a basis for their businesses. At the same time, they rely on traditional social networks within their immigrant communities - friendship, kinship, and people from the same region or ethnic group back home - to help them succeed.
