maker. The one who says "I made it". To those who see themselves beyond where they are. Those who do not offer excuses. Those who believe that God has ordained their success. Those who have experienced pain, suffering and tribulations and have faced it. Those who stare down fate and not fate staring down on them. MKOVAH magazine is a movement. Not a sugar coated cat walk in the park. A reality check for us all to be the absolute best our greatest vision of ourselves can imagine.

LI V I NG M Y DESTI NY

Edit or -in -Ch ief Ch ief Ph ot ogr aph er

5 years ago I envisioned taking my concept of digital magazines on a whole other level. In 2007, I founded and launched Urban Mainstream magazine as a hobby. It grew faster than I could imagine. However, it grew where I was not looking. Meaning, I was not looking towards truly building a business foundation that would exceed even my own expectations. I wanted a publication just to show off my work and generate business. I never built Urban Mainstream to be a platform that I could build into a multi-million dollar business. This is why I say it was a hobby. That hobby turned into over 500,000 views per month. Features with celebrities and focus on talent from all over the world. Urban Mainstream taught me a lot. I needed to understand building without purpose is actually very wasteful. I later learned the missed opportunities to become a millionaire years ago. I could have monetized the magazine and seriously been on a whole other level. Today I take from that knowledge and experience to better equip me for the plans for Mkovah Magazine. Mkovah is all about re-inventing yourself. This is what I had to do. In doing this my vision became clear. I realized now, unlike before, I am looking where I am going. I am now being thrust into my destiny. Mkovah is now establishing its roots in Houston, San Antonio, Austin, and next Atlanta, Miami, New York, Chicago and so on. We are on pace for 12 plus affiliate magazines and an all male fashion magazine, TIMOTHY. I wake, go throughout the day and sleep the Mkovah agenda. Building a foundation an organization. One that I can financially mechanize locally and internationally. I am now focused on building a solid brand coupled with people who believe in the international endeavor. Bridging the desires of other creative artists and people to build a multi-million dollar platform. Having the capacity to capture, influence and impact the lives of people from around the world. This is what we are building. I was born to do what I am doing. Th e GROWTH of M KOVAH M AGAZINE IS HERE AND WE ARE HERE TO FIGHT FOR WHAT WE DESERVE. I DO THIS FOR M Y CHILDREN. I DO THIS TO BE THE EXAM PLE OF LIVING DESTINY. WWW.M KOVAHM AGAZINE.COM ISSUE 5 2018

It's been exciting working with MKOVAH MAGAZINE because I see a lot of qualities in Shinobi that I see in myself. You will always know when someone is REALLY "CALLED" to do what they do because of their work, the adrenaline behind it and the end result. MKOVAH MAGAZINE has that "END RESULT" that I look for. - Tik ish a Sim pson

Sar ah Gu er r a How lon g h ave you been a pr of ession al m odel an d w h y? I have been a model for a little over a year now. I get told it "looks" like I've BEEN doing this, and truth is, I haven't. It was always a dream of mine, one that I put on hold because I was too busy being a mother & provider. My children have grown, my life has changed, and I've been granted this opportunity so I won't wait no longer to see "WHAT IF", now I'm actually getting out there & making it happen.

How lon g h ave you been a pr of ession al m odel an d w h y? Now, this is a tricky question. See, I still consider myself to be an amateur only because modeling has not become my livelihood as of yet. But nevertheless, I have been modeling on-and-off for almost 5 years now. However, it is in the last 5-6 months that I have been actively and consistently participating in projects in which I am the model/muse.

How can M KOVAH M AGAZINE h elp you ? I am currently trying to get my Lash Extension business up & running. I am a newly certified Lash Extension Tech, starting from the ground up, so I'll be trying to launch that and get it some exposure.

How can M KOVAH M AGAZINE h elp you ? I would like to have more editorial/avant garde style images in my portfolio.

How can you h elp M KOVAH M AGAZINE?

I think Mkovah will benefit me in several ways. It has given me a platform to build off of. It has allowed me to experience something that I really did not see happening in my life right now, so early on. It's exciting to know what's expected to come of it, it's definitely something I don't want to miss out on.

I feel MKovah Magazine could be a huge help in my modeling career for the simple fact that this IS a magazine that has a photographer that likes to shoot editorial, and the photos I help create would just be what I am looking for to expand my portfolio.

How lon g h ave you been a pr of ession al m odel an d w h y? I?ve been a professional model for almost two years now. A couple of years ago I made first round to becoming Torrid brand ambassador, this significant event has peaked my interest to becoming a model. Seeing so many beautiful women with so much love for body imperfections, it sparked the fire within me to start modeling and be a walking billboard for all women.

How lon g h ave you been m odelin g an d w h y?

Wh at ar e som e t h in gs you ar e m issin g in you r w w w.in st agr am .com / viet .volu pt u ou s bu sin ess or por t f olio or bot h ? Business wise, it?s been excellent. As for my portfolio, I would love to do more high fashion shots and some with nature settings.

II have only been a model for 8 months. Ever since I was little I grew up watching America's Next Top Model and have always wanted to be one. It but it wasn't until August of last year when I started ,when April Gummelt asked me to be in one of her photo shoots.
