LAWRENCE SPILLS THE TEA ABOUT HER RETIREMENT IN 2017 AS A PUBLICIST

DECEMBER - JAN. ISSUE NO. 23

notes from the editor-in-chief

My objective is to help all people — no matter what their beliefs are — to reduce or eliminate their fear of living out loud. So they can free up otherwise wasted energy to be refocused and better used in enjoying one’s daily life. To live life more fully now in the present.

“Don’t fear failure so much that you refuse to try new things. The saddest summary of life contains three descriptions: could have, might have, and should have.” ~Lawrence

DEON HAYES I HAD AN AFFAIR WITH FAITH PASTOR | BOOK AUTHOR | SPEAKER

What happens when one man takes on the court system armed only with the power of his faith? When Deon Hayes was injured at a well-known fitness center, he tried several times to secure a lawyer, but without success.

Finally, he filed a lawsuit on his own and entered the courtroom to represent himself.

This is the true story of Deon's legal battle, in which he puts all his trust in God. But will he triumph despite the odds? Having an Affair with Faith is an exciting, inspirational read, with life lessons that reach far beyond the courtroom.

THE DECISIONS YOU MAKE WILL

DETERMINE HOW FAR YOU WILL GO

By Mayor Franklin Deese Publicist Tam Lawrence

Franklin D. Deese was just elected to serve his sixth term as Mayor to the town of Marshville, NC. He is the first and only African American elected to serve any Union County Municipality in that capacity in the County’s 150+ years history.

He was first elected to the office of Mayor in 2005. Mayor Deese serves on several different boards, as well as in many civic and community organizations on a local and state level.

Mayor Deese is a two time recipient of the prestigious Governor’s Award. He was recognized as the Union County Minority Entrepreneur of the Year and was nominated for the WSOC Nine Who Care Award. He was chosen as the 2012 Citizen of the Year in Union County and is the recipient of the History Maker Award.

Once Deese became Mayor he found that he couldn’t bury his past nor did he want to, he had a testimony that could assist others in living a more fulfilling life.

He had been told time and time again to write an autobiography and he confesses that he tried but it wasn’t until he was challenged by none other than the founder and chairman of Virgin Group and over 400 companies, Sir Richard Branson that he said “why not?”.

Sir Richard Branson, told me if I wrote the book he would write the foreword, how was I supposed to turn that down?” “

MILLENNIALS: WHY THE FUTURE IS PUBLIC RELATIONS A PUBLICIST VIEWPOINT

BY TAM LAWRENCE Public relations (PR) is about getting your small business noticed by customers, business partners, and prospects. Develop a working public relations plan to target specific audiences with your small business marketing message.

The Public Relations Society of America defines public relations as activities that “help an organization and its public adapt mutually to each other.” Other professionals say that public relations involves activities that aim to establish, maintain, and improve a favorable relationship with the public upon which an organization’s success depends.

In the small business marketing arena, public relations means doing the right thing and then talking about it — using publicity and other nonpaid communication opportunities to inform those whose positive opinions favorably affect your business.

Community relations: Build ties to your local market area by joining groups, serving on boards, spearheading charitable endeavors, and donating time, products, services, or funds to causes and projects that benefit your community. As you undertake community relations efforts, do so first because you believe in the cause and second for the visibility you receive as a good community citizen.

Industry relations: Join industry associations, participate in industry events, and serve as an officeholder in groups that represent your business arena. A strong industry role keeps your business in the forefront and establishes your credibility with colleagues, consumers, and editorial contacts.

But each time you succeed in generating positive publicity, you score a triple victory.

First, you win valuable editorial mentions in mass-media vehicles. Second, you win consumer confidence, as people tend to believe the editorial content of mass media more than they do paid advertising messages.

SENATOR LENA TAYLOR IS THE REFLECTION OF A WOMAN'S STRENGTH

A life-long Milwaukee resident, Senator Lena

BY

TAM

LAWRENCE

Taylor still lives on the block she grew up on. She is serving her third term in the Wisconsin State Senate, representing the 4th Senate District, which includes the Village of Shorewood, portions of Wauwatosa, Glendale, and the north & northwestern portions of the City of Milwaukee.

First elected in a special election to the Wisconsin Assembly in 2003, Lena Taylor fights unrelentingly for her constituents’ rights. Taylor has been elected to the State Senate since 2004. Senator Taylor is the thousandth senator in the state of American, and only the second African-American woman to serve in the State Senate.

SENATOR TAYLOR IS THE REAL DEAL BY

TAM

LAWRENCE

Senator Lena Taylor's drive is contagious. Taylor is an iconic leader in Milwaukee, who mirrors success. I think every little brown girl needs a super hero-- Senator Lena Taylor is our She-Ro. When you meet Senator Lena Taylor you'll find a woman who's extremely passionate, fearless, and resourceful.

The strongest actions for a woman is to love herself, be herself and shine amongst those who never believed she could.

THE SHOE FETISH MOVEMENT Written by Beatrice Moore and Sharon Bennett

There are joyous and painful moments in our lives that serve to shape and change our world. We will each experience those moments. A woman may not always remember all the words she may have heard throughout her life, but she will remember how she felt when wearing that special pair of shoes.

Whether that feeling was good or bad for her, nothing stood between her and that experience.

What is your story behind your collected life experiences and the shoes you have worn as you grew into who you are today, continuing to mature and experience various relationships and oh so many, many shoes?

This is the SHOE FETISH MOVEMENT!!!!

Knowing why you select a particular pair of shoes (or men) goes far beyond the fact that they look good. We must look deeper into ourselves to fully understand why we make the choices we make in life and how perhaps so many times our shoe selection is a reflection of ALL those choices‌

STANDING ON FAITH STANDING IN THE MIDST OF THE STORM BUILDS CHARACTER INTERVIEW WITH TAM LAWRENCE BY KIM GRACE Exposure Magazine goes behind the pages with Celebrity Publicist and the Founder/CEO of Exposure Magazine. To talk about her journey to finding her purpose and reconnecting with GOD. Interviewer: "Ms. Lawrence you've been in business for more than 22yrs and a publicist for over 15yrs. Tell us what was the hardest road during your journey?"

Tam Lawrence: "I would have to say the hardest thing for me was probably --working alone.

Although, working alone for me has made me who I am today. Life will teach you lessons, that no one else can.

Being alone at times for built character and increased my self-awareness."

Interviewer: "Ms. Lawrence what advice would you give to new business owners?"

Tam Lawrence: "Whatever business you decide to open be sure it's meets passion and defines your purpose.

Interviewer: "Ms. Lawrence was there ever a time in your life you felt like giving up?"

Tam Lawrence: "Yes! When I lived in Atlanta, GA, I had met this female named, Valarie. Over a short period of time I had grown to trust her. She strongly suggested we collaborate on a business venture. So I accepted her proposal- it was the very worst experience- I had ever encountered in business. I had opened myself up to friendship. During this unwarranted time in my life I remember praying that God would, call me home.

Interviewer: "Ms. Lawrence what advice would you give to new business owners?"

I was emotional drained and spiritual torn apart.

(she chuckled)

fearlessly i came through the storm I MOVED TO HAWAII IN SEARCH OF GOD AND MY PURPOSE

Tam Lawrence: "i prayed and cried a river, I had literally lost everything. I heard God say, "Come to me." So I jumped a flight to Hawaii with just one suitcase and one-way ticket. I had no cluewhat would happen, but I need to reconnect with God." Interviewer: "So Ms. Lawrence what happen next? you do next?"

Tam: (laughing) "Read my book or watch for me on Oprah, you'll find the depths of my journey.

MEET DANIEL HUGHES

I have always been addicted to the ocean, I blame my dad mostly, him going out all the time and me watching him day after day just having a great time! It really drove me to learn!

Now you may think that my dad taught me how to surf, but that is not true.

CONTACT (808)213.1548

What is true is that he made me want to surf, so one day my dad gives me and my brother (Matthew) some old boards and our whole family goes to the beach so my dad says OH THE WAVES ARE GOOD! He hands us our little board and says its just like body boarding only difference is you stand up, then he jumps in the water and paddles out.

KEVIN CASEY FIGHTS TO WIN Kevin “King” Casey became close with Rockson Gracie, son of MMA Hall of Famer Rickson Gracie in the mid 1990’s, with whom he began studying Brazilian jiu-jitsu.

Kevin also happens to be married to boxing legend Muhammad Ali’s daughter, Hana Ali. So, it’s no wonder the Inglewood native succeeds within his professional fighting career while he’s not recording music.

Making his professional MMA debut in Japan in 2007, it only took 2 years for Kevin to land on a Strikeforce Challengers card. In 2013, he was announced to be a cast member on The Ultimate Fighter: Team Jones vs Team Sonnen. Kevin Casey later competed at The Ultimate Fighter 17 Finale. He would eventually go on to win a championship with Resurrection Fighting Alliance, before yet again returning with the UFC. This time, Casey would face Bubba Bush at UFC 175 where he would win via TKO early on in the first round. Kevin continued competing within the UFC organization until fall of 2016.

Kevin Casey’s professional records currently stands at 9 wins, 5 losses, and 1 draw. Fans of the 35-year-old middleweight fighter are looking forward to his next match which will take place a month from now. On January 21, Casey will compete at Bellator 170 in his hometown of Inglewood at The Forum arena. His opponent will be Keith Berry who has a professional record of 15 wins and 13 losses.
