Message from the Editor In Chief:
It is my immense pleasure to welcome you and present our monthly newsletter. I am so grateful to YOU for
taking the time read and get to know more about Women of Concern Professionals Strategic Con-
sciousness Networking; what we do and how we do it.
I started this journey with our founder Loretta Green-Williams as a quiet member on LinkedIn in December
2009. I may have been among the first to join the LinkedIn group. Loretta and I quickly became supporters
of one another groups rather more than supporters but active participates. We have never meet face-to-
face but we have logged our fair share of hours in brainstorming and planning; sharing and caring and plain
old sistah talk on the phone.
As I observed Loretta’s tenacity in developing WOCPSCN and many other projects, I soon recognized this
woman is a force to be reckoned with. She is a devoted mother, sister-friend, businesswoman and activist
most certainly but above all she is devoted daughter of Zion ever-ready to be about the Father’s business.
Though, it took me a moment to come to the realization that I have a larger task to perform in regards to the
mission and vision that has been entrusted to Loretta, I got to tell ya; I am on FIRE NOW! I am so excited
about the road ahead. I have wholeheartedly put my hand to the plow and there is no turning back.
Let me also share with you in my capacity as President of the new formed NY-Eastern Regional Chapter, I
have penned my 2013 Strategic Planning and it blows my mind. I got a download from heaven and rest as-
sure the assignment will be completed because it is not about me or us but all about what the Master has
already predestined for us to do. I’ll let you get a peek: it includes expanding media platforms, wellness and
a major National Conference in 2015 here in NYC. You know as soon as we accept the call and assume
the posture of servants; God aligns, orders and presents with seal of approval that makes men take note
and begin to finance the vision.—Oh believe it.
As you read and enjoy the pages herein, keep us in prayer as we do you and remember to make decisions
that affect change.

memoirs and details how she
survived generational domestic
violence and abuse. The murder
and tragic murder of her younger
daughter further propelled her
into her divine destiny as a
woman to reckoned with on the
frontlines of Domestic Violence.
Green-Williams is the visionary
and the foundation of Women of
Concern Professionals Strategic
Consciousness Networking. It is
her marketing ingenuity that
has propelled and perpetuated
the growth trajectory of
the organization. She
has aided each Re-
gional President in the
implementation their chapter in
a fashion that cohesively em-

look at the regions youth and econ-

If a picture is worth a thousand
words...what is film, documentary or

Rambert and Meyers all members of
WOCPSCN realized the worth of
grabbing the bull by the horns and
become very aware of the need to pro-
duce relatable stories through film
and television production.

WOCPSCN MEDIA
Filmmakers, Directors, Producers & New Media Content Creation
As the NY-Eastern Regional Chap-
ter’s President Jasmin Farnum as-
sume her position, she realized the
enormous benefits of using her MBA
in Media Management to enhance
WOCPSCN media platforms and
reach. There is so much to be said
about advertising and marketing but
to truly understand the economic pur-
chasing power that came along with
being a women’s organization with a
global reach was truly an opportunity
the Ms. Farnum dare not overlook.
Part of her mission is to utilize her
skill sets in filmmaking and produc-
ing to broaden WOCPSCN appeal to
marketers, advertisers and sponsors.
WOCPSCN organization already con-
sist of members, like Farnum, we
have Dana Verde, Dr. Gail P. Meyers,
Rosalyn M. Rambert, and Susan
Johnston who are already in Media
Industry, so the move is pivotal.

WOCPSCN is turning heads, taking
names and numbers for that matter.
It is quickly becoming a known fact
that WOCP/RADIO/TV-Filmmakers,
Directors, Producers and Indie Music

of Free Speech Television, Webcasting

of creating media content through

Truth be told women represent a
growing number of professionals and
business owners in the United States
as such we control significant eco-

This essentially means “she who con-
trol the purse rules the world.” Unfor-
tunately, this alone is not enough for
women today. We are still paid less
than our male counterparts and yield
less of return of on our investments
compared to men in similar indus-
tries. Why?
We may want to take note of come-
dian Steve Harvey’s book/film “Act
Like a Lady-Think like a Man” when
it comes to this new economy of busi-
ness. Why should there be any dis-
crepancies when expert research indi-
