Harold's Notes Answer:

The five people pictured above have been selected for the 2006 Expo Campaign.  Back for the 7th year is Wendy Raquel Robinson, Amazing Grace Conservatory.   This year actor/businessman  Malik Yoba joins her and in keeping with our 2006 Business:  It's a family Affair, we chose The Plumbers --three brothers which represent LR Services Plumbing, a family owned business which dates back six generations.  We held a wonderful photo shoot Sunday May 7 at the home of Rene Cross Washington, BBX graphic designer.  Please read our blog for details.

Story by: Stan Thomas 

April 5, 2006 

Two years ago, the Expo Update featured a story recognizing the 10th anniversary of the Rwandan genocide. Without a doubt the most well known name to come out of that tragedy was Paul Rusesabagina. His current speaking tour coincides with the release this month of a book of his memoirs titled An Ordinary Man. One stop on his tour was as part of the Music Center’s 2006 Speaker’s Series in downtown Los Angeles. (Continue)

 SPECIAL REPORT

 
THE LAUNCHING OF A.A.D. - ATHLETIC ARTISTIC DEVELOPMENT
 
HONORING AN AFRICAN - AMERICAN
FASHION DESIGN ICON
  
Greetings Cyberstyle readers...I know its been a minute since my last story and I hope all is well with you and yours. As for me, I've been consumed with launching a new company called A.A.D. - ATHLETIC ARTISTIC DEVELOPMENT.
 
The concept, began about four years ago when my wife and I were designing
clothes for CHERYL MILLER and then, we started doing some interior design
work for her as well. At first, I thought the company would be a joint venture involving Ms. Miller but ultimately, I decided to make it happen alone...Cheryl is, however, a super human-being! Essentially, A.A.D. is the first, full - service
