Letter
From The Editor:
Publishing a magazine is a journey all
within itself. Laying out the magazine is not the
only challenging aspect. There can be many
complications in communicating with sources,
sponsors and even in getting advertisements.
The process of magazine publishing how-
ever, is very hands-on and forces individuals to
get out there and mingle! “What do you do?” or
“Who do you work for?” are the number one leading questions that
will get anyone anywhere. Sometimes information is limited, but a
publisher cannot accept no as an answer. It is just on to the next
source.
In this magazine alone, I traveled to great lengths to get camera
footage, did photo shoots just to be able to put in the magazine, and
talked to tons of people for interviews and Ads. Sleek Style is well
known now. Thanks to this publishing project, Sleek Style has been
considered for real publication, and I am being interviewed for in-
ternships and jobs.
Advice to anyone carrying out such a challenging project: there
are only benefits and plenty of work and business relationships to be
gained. If nothing comes of the project, at least there were strides
made towards widening horizons. Nothing is better than completing
a goal. Start a project and stick it out until the end!

Michea carried on her singing talent through high-
school, participating in talent shows and experimenting
on soundtracks. It wasn't long before her and friends
were locking down tracks on YouTube! Talent just
wasn’t the word to describe this woman. Hours and
hours of practice to perfection led to one of the biggest
showcased events at Belleville Highschool in 2005. Mi-
chea sang her heart out and showed the world that
7
This was not just her talent; it was the way of life for her.
As time went on, Michea eventually went off to college, in which she chose to go to Morgan State Univer-
sity in Baltimore, Maryland. She birthed a beautiful baby girl, decided to grind out her years as a music
major and graduated with a major in Communications! Below all of this excitement, Michea’s love for mu-
sic was stronger than ever.
It wasn’t until she stepped back onto the music scene in 2011, did she really feel strongly about music.
Truth Or Dare, the album that would drop in March 2012 would set her name and career off in bright
lights!
Shows, Showcases, Talent nights, all started tumbling in Michea’s way, giving her an outlet for her music.
These little shows were becoming like a back door into the Music industry and she still continues to do
shows!
Examples of some of her latest performances include the Mama Imma Make It (MIMI) showcase, Hot 97’s
Time to Shine, and Rutgers 2012 Caribbean Festival. Her Album called Truth Or Dare: I Chose Dare is
available on WildFire.com as well as her videos accessible on YouTube.
Be on the lookout for this young “flame”. Michea Hollywood is coming hard and fast, and playing no
games!

Strawberry Blunt is not just
a Hip- Hop site. A “Strawberry
Blunt” is a classy but sassy female
who isn't afraid to speaker her mind.
“Business-minded ladies came up
with the idea of having sweet, smart
and sexy girls get together with one
goal in mind—hip-hop,” said Melissa
Sweets, contributing writer, editor
and host of Strawberry Blunt Media.
Strawberry Blunt Media, LLC,
was started by Hala Berry and Lauren
Santiago two years ago. It began as an
informative YouTube page that provided
thhe latest celebrity entertainment news.
They have created a buzz and a name for
themselves in the last two years with in-
terviews on online radio and constant
promotion. Strawberry Blunt is the next
female movement.
Strawberry Blunt Media is
a hip-hop blog that launched in De-
cember 2010 and is composed of all
women bloggers.
“We pride ourselves in
being one of the only all female
movements in hip-hop wo have a
deep motivation to continuously
empower women in the industry,
which unfortunately amongst oth-
ers, comes few and far between.
Essentially, we are the all-female, all
-hip-hop version of Perezhil-
ton.com,” said Sweets.
We also have a radio show eve-
ry Wednesday on AlistRadio.net which
has given us an additional portal to relay
all the ongoings of celebrity life in a fun
and unique way,” said Sweets.

What to Expect Next…..
The Straw-
berry Blunt team has
invested a lot of
time building their
site to what is has
become and they
really their absolute
best to hone in on
the latest, most in-
teresting, exciting
news there is to
offer. They also try
to give up-and-
coming artists a
platform to display
their music, which
most sites ignore
completely.
However,
they’re different.
Different in the best
way possible! “We
like to think of our-
selves as the first
interactive blog,
where you actually
feel you know each
girl that’s blogging,
rather than just be-
ing noted as Straw-
berry Blunt Staff,”
said Sweets.

"When becoming a part of the
sorority of hip-hop. Each girl must
know she's joining a sisterhood.
However, we do expect a lot
from our sisters, as we want all of
our members to be wonderful,
smart, out-spoken, well-rounded
young women who have the drive
and motivation to bring SB to the
next level."
"We now host a musically engag-
ing, thought-provoking, hip-hop
online radio
show on www.BottomMusicRadio
.com every Wednesday from
10pm to 12am with myself, Hala
Berry, Miss Santiago, and Kathy

Sweets.
"Aside from blogging and our
radio show, our team hosts
events from time-to-time for dif-
ferent promoters & DJs such as
DJ Enuff, Bobby Trends, DJ Camil-
lo, etc, and the ladies work in the
industry at places like VH1, Hot
97, La Mega 97.9, Def Jam, etc,
which really assists us in market-
ing and promoting our brand",
said Sweets.
