Editor’s Note Happy New Year! The February issue of Mocca Magazine has been dubbed “the Love and Relationship Issue” Within this issue, we will attempt to bring you articles related to different aspects and different phases of a relationship. Out hope is to provide the assistance that some people in current relationships or looking to start one, will find beneficial in achieving that goal. We have an article by Rafael Solece titled When I became We. In that article he discusses some of the ways you have to adjust because its not all about you anymore. When you go into a relationship it is about making the relationship work. About building a better “WE”. I think that his a theme that we all can work on whether it’s a romantic relationship, a business relationship or a casual one. All relationships need cultivating. And it is your responsibility to give that relationship all of the help that it need to prosper. We also have an interview with Karlton T. Clay, creator of the popular series “Lyons Den” In that series we meet a family full of disfuction as the work to change that dynamic and become better in their person and family lives. I really hope that you enjoy this issue of Mocca Magazine and also hope that you will be able to find something within it that will help you to build better relationships. Enjoy! Please feel free to send me any comments or suggestions to comments@moccamag.com Rodney L. Berry

Interview with Karlton T. Clay Creator of Lyons Den web-series In 2012, Karlton T. Clay released the premiere episode of his second webseries “The Lyon’s Den” to the world. And here we are in 2014, just a little more than a month away from the release of the premiere of the 5th season of The Lyon’s Den’s. We had the opportunity to talk with the man himself, to gain more insight into the show and his vision. Mocca: So give us an intr oduction to Karlton T. Clay Karlton Clay: I’m 28 years old. I’m the oldest of 4 with 2 brothers and 2 sisters. I’m a pastor’s child. I’m a cancer survivor. I was diagnosed with leukemia at the age of 16. I have been in remission for the last 12 years. I grew up in Augusta, Ga. I graduated from Georgia State University with a bachelor’s of Arts in Film and Video.
Mocca: How did you get into acting? Karlton Clay: I actually got into acting based on being at the right place at the right time. I had taken my little sister to an audition with a local community theater group in Augusta. I also had my little brother with me. They were around the ages of 4 and 5. My little brother was playing around, so I told him to sit down and be quiet. The director heard me say this and told me I have a great voice. He then asked me to audition for a part in the play. At first I was hesitate about doing it but I decided to go ahead and give it a try. I end up getting that part and that became my first time acting on a professional level. After that point I was able to act in more plays and I developed a love for the craft. 7
Interview with Karlton T. Clay Creator of Lyons Den web-series Mocca: How did you tr ansition into pr oduction wor k?
Karlton Clay: I’ve always enjoyed writing since I was very young. I attended a fine arts high school and I signed up for a production class as an alternate. Term after , I kept being placed in the production class so I finally decided to really get into it and found that I really enjoyed the writing and directing aspects. So it seems that different situations ended up plotting my course. Mocca: I see fr om some of the pictur es on your website (www.karltontclay.com) that you are pictured at the anchor’s desk. Tell me a little bit about that. Karlton Clay: I’m an entertainment correspondent (www.KarltonSays.com) and my feature “Hollywood Minute” is broadcast every Wednesday at noon on WJBF News (ABC channel 6). During those segments, I spotlight news taking place in and around Hollywood but I also spotlight the local talent and events taking place in and around Augusta. So the pictures that you’re referring to are stills taken during my Hollywood Minute segments. Mocca: Is the Lyon’s Den your first series? Karlton Clay: No, the fir st series that I created was called “College Daze”. We have a college TV station at Georgia State University and I planned to create a fictional show to add to the content of that station. I felt the general manager of the stations was giving me the runaround about the show so one of my homies told me I should just release the show on the internet. So I took his advice and released it on the internet. My goal at the time was just get my content out so people could see it. I got some very positive responses from people about the show. The premise of the show is about college kids navigating thru school and their personal lives. They deal with studying, coed issues and different temptations they may encounter. The show ran for 5 seasons (about 60 episodes). The first 2 seasons were filmed at Georgia State, and the last 3 seasons were filmed in Augusta when I move back there after graduation. 8
Interview with Karlton T. Clay Creator of Lyons Den web-series Mocca: What made you decide to cr eate The Lyon’s Den?
Karlton Clay: I wanted to do a family dr ama ser ies, based on things happening in the modern day family. I was in church one Sunday and was reading the passage on Daniel in the lion’s den. It struck me as a great title. So I change the spelling of lion to lyon and made that the family’s name. I decided that with this series and was going to be open and honest and uncut in the presentation of the series. Prior to this my work had been very clean (rated G). But with this series, I made the decision to go a little farther and to push the bounderies more. Mocca: Tell me a little bit about the ser ies. Karlton Clay: The stor yline centers around the Lyons family and the patriarch of the family has been murdered. While the family is dealing with this tragedy, all of his secret dealings begin to surface. He was very crooked and corrupt in his life. He had multiple affairs while married to his wife. He bore children from some of these affairs. Season 1 Cast Members The children from his marriage and the children from his affairs are now meeting and trying to deal with what is being discovered. Mocca: How did you go about casting the ser ies? Karlton Clay: I put out a casting call on the social media sites but I didn’t do the normal auditions. When people sent in their resumes and headshots, I started casting the actors based on the interviews I had with them. Many of the cast members I had previously worked with from the theater productions and different plays.

Interview with Karlton T. Clay Creator of Lyons Den web-series Mocca: What has the r eception been like for The Lyons Den?
Karlton Clay: The reception has been pr etty gr eat. Many have stated that they like the realness of the show. I’m a cliff-hanger type of writer, so I like to keep people wondering what is going to happen next. I’ve had people facebook me or tweet me and ask why did I leave them hanging with the story. I get more of those messages when the cliffhanger is in the season finale. (At the end of season 4, my character shot Ryan(his half-brother) because my character found out Ryan was sleeping with his girlfriend. And I left people wondering if the gunshot was fatal. The new season will reveal that.) Last year I was able to attend the LA Webfest. While I did receive positive feedback for the show, I also received some constructive critiques on how to enhance the show. I view my show like a continued education, where I continue to discover new ways to produce a better product. People will see the evolution of the production from season to season.

Interview with Karlton T. Clay Creator of Lyons Den web-series Mocca: I see that you have won some awar ds for the ser ies?
Karlton Clay: The show has been a par t of thr ee festivals: The 2013 Media Makers Film Festival, The 2013 LA Webfest and 2013 ATL Webfest. We received awards for outstanding Writing, Outstanding Producing, Outstanding Ensemble Cast and 2 of the actresses, Victoria Wilson and Reishal Monique from the series received best supporting actress awards. Mocca: Tell me about the cast of char acter s of The Lyons Den. Karlton Clay: The patr iar ch of the show is William Lyons(played by Nathan Rockwell). Nathan was br iefly on my fir st ser ies “College Daze”. Nathan is just a ball of energy and he was very excited about playing the bad guy role of William Lyons. As I was writing the series, I had Nathan in mind for that part. William Lyons is that character that you love to hate. He has no redeeming qualities about him. He is a very ruthless individual. (think of a black Victor Newman from The Young and the Restless.) Season 3 Cast Members He has 5 children with his wife and has 4 children with women he has had affairs with. Lucas Lyons (played by JaPrince Briggs) was the husband of Sheree’ Lyons. But he was killed in second season. Lucas was the oldest of the main siblings. He played the peacemaker and the role model for the family trying to keep the family together thru this never-ending crisis. He is a go with the flow type of guy and didn’t really have the backbone to standup to his wife. Lucas has two children with his wife and a third child outside of his marriage. There is a constant struggle between his wife and the mother of his child. Lucas ended up dying in a car accident (Inside Scoop: Lucas wasn’t originally supposed to be killed off. He ended up deciding to move on to other opportunities, so his character was phased out of the series.) The decision to remove him from the show opened up a stream of new opportunities to broaden the show.
11
Interview with Karlton T. Clay Creator of Lyons Den web-series Sheree Lyons (played by Reishal Monique) is another one of those characters that you love to hate. She is the type of wife where you wonder what did Lucas ever see in her to even date her let alone marry her. And based on that way she treats her husband, you wonder what she ever saw in him. It is found out that Sheree’ is cheating on Lucas with Norm (who happens to be a family member of the Lyons family and also Sheree’ boss). After the death of Lucas, we start to see a different side of Sheree as she navigates being a single mother. During this process she realizes that she doesn’t have to be as mean and bossy as she has been in the past. Keysha Lyons (played by Shantelle Wheeler) is the sister of Lucas and she is a military wife (or so she thinks). She is also a peacemaker, trying to get along with everyone. She is not one to wear her emotions on her sleeve. She finds out that her husband is no longer in the military because he was dishonorably discharged for drug usage. It is found out that Season 4 Cast Members instead of him being overseas, he is in the US in a relationship with another woman, has gotten her pregnant and is still using drugs. She is torn between a new love interest and her missing husband. J.C. Lyons (played by Sam Evans) is the “thug” of the family. He has been incarcerated a few times. He is not really trying to get along with the family because he feels like the blacksheep of the family. Thru the series we find that he is diagnosed with cancer. Once he decides to reveal this to his family, we start to see a shift in him because he finds out that his family is actually there for him. As he is going through this, he finds out that his girlfriend had an affair with his father. Ryan Lyons (played by DJ Jackson) is the runaway of the family. He is not introduced to the series until the 3rd season. We find that he has reemerged because he has some gambling debts that he can’t pay. The family bands together to help him pay off his debts. We find that he is broken partially by the fact that he lost his first love in a car accident (where he lost his unborn child as well). 12
Interview with Karlton T. Clay Creator of Lyons Den web-series Raven Lyons (played by Victoria Wilson) is the baby of the siblings. We find that she was left by the father of her unborn child until season 3 when he returns. But he then informs her that he was struggling with his sexuality and he didn’t know how to tell her. When he returns, Raven is newly married and moving on with her life. Season 5 Cast Members

Danny Bussey as Vincent Covington
Kenneth K.B. Brown as Xavier Monroe Michael G. Williams as Norman Clayborne Courtney Dionne as Angel Jackson (Seasons 1-3) Shantay Evans as Jasmine Harris (Seasons 1-2) Those are the main characters of the series and they are a great cast to work with. It is amazing to see their reactions to the scripts because you can see how invested they are in the series. I couldn’t ask for a better group of actors to work with. 13
Interview with Karlton T. Clay Creator of Lyons Den web-series Mocca: You stated that this is the last season of Lyon’s Den. What do you plan to do next? Karlton Clay: I’m planning to write a new series titled “Lovers and Friends”. I really want to get this one writing while the idea is fresh on my brain. I plan to begin a fundraising campaign to finance the series. I do plan to actually audition the actors for this one. I plan on being loyal to those that have worked with me in the past but I also want to add some fresh faces to the mix. I’ve also ventured into modeling so I plan on pursuing that, I’d like to write a fiction novel. I’d also like to get back into the theater work. The last time is worked in that realm was in 2011. Mocca: You have also pr oduced plays. How many have you done? Karlton Clay: I’ve written and produced 7 plays. I opened Victory Productions (my production company) in 2003. The first play I produced was “Speak to my Heart” I actually didn’t write that play. I was actually in a production of that play and always wanted to produce it myself. The first play that I actually wrote and produced was titled “Leukemia and Me”. I’ve written, produced, and directed plays until 2011. Mocca: With cr eating an ensemble ser ies with such a lar ge cast, what wer e your struggles in producing it? Karlton Clay: One of the biggest str uggles to me was maintaining the productions schedule. I actually hate that task. With such a large cast and everyone maintaining the everyday lives it is very hard to gather everyone together based on their personal schedules and find that we can all come together to film or rehearse. It has proven to be very challenging. But again I have to thank everyone associated with the series. They are so committed to the show and have made the show a priority. They have been more than flexible with their time. One of the other challenging things is funding the show. This series is being funded personally by me. All of the actors and actresses in the show are volunteering their time to the series. 14
Interview with Karlton T. Clay Creator of Lyons Den web-series Mocca: What is one of the most surprising things that you have encountered in producing the series? Karlton Clay: I’m most surprised by the number of people that watch to series. I have people come up to me all the time that let me know they watch the show or recognize me from the show. Even when I was in LA for the LA Webfest, people would stop me and my friend DJ to let us know they recognized us or that they enjoy the show. Another one of the big challenges is paying for the production. Currently all of the equipment used in the production is paid for out of my pocket and that has proven to be very challenging. All of the actors are volunteering their time to the show, which I’m truly grateful to them for doing so. But the cost of producing the show still continue to add up. Karlton Clay: I would personally like to give a big “THANK YOU” to everyone that has watched the show. THANK YOU to everyone that has supported me in any of my ventures, all 11 years of Victory Productions being in existence. THANK YOU to all of the actors and Actresses that had worked with me. I’m looking forward to being able to entertain new viewers and Bring on new talent as well.

The Back of the Closet
When ‘I’ Became ‘WE’ by Rafael Solece Since I have gotten engaged lots of people ask me “What are the keys to a strong and healthy relationship?” I always tell them “Relationships are a lot like baking. You have to have the right ingredients. But just like any good recipe, there is always room for error and just like any good baker you should always be able to adjust accordingly.” If the dessert comes out too dense you add more milk. If it comes out too loose, add more flour. If it ain't sweet enough, for goodness sake, add more sugar. The same can be said for cultivating a relationship. Certain ingredients are required: communication, comradery, patience, and even a little chaos. Just like in baking, there has to be some room for adjustments. When things aren't flowing in your relationship, you have to know when to add a little bit more of one or two ingredients to get the relationship to flow just right for the both of you. In my book, some ingredients are more important than others. Communication ranks on top of my list. Now, when I say communication, a lot of people assume I mean how we talk to one another. That's not the case. Though I believe verbal communication is a very important element in a relationship, there are several forms of communication that are key. I won't go into them all, but let’s take for example physical communication. If you and your partner can't relate to each other intimately then the relationship is not going to last long. Is sex that important? Hell yeah! If you can't please me, then you don't know me. If you don't know me then it probably means you don't talk to me enough. If you’re not talking to me then you aren't relating to me. If you aren't relating to me then we can't call ourselves in a relationship. But seriously, how long are you actually going to stay with someone who’s not pleasing you sexually? And if you are with someone who is not pleasing you what does that actually say about you and your self-esteem? If you have self-esteem issues, what the hell are you doing in a relationship in the first place? But I digress that is totally a whole other article altogether.

The Back of the Closet
When ‘I’ Became ‘We’ by Rafael Solece Most people think that opposites attract but I beg to differ, because when your partner has no sense of time and is always changing directions mid-stream and you are the type of person who has to have some semblance of structure, like myself, that could easily turn the love of your life into The Most Hated Bitch. In relationships, it’s important to know that the person you are with has something in common with you. If you are an ambitious person and your partner is the type of person that doesn't stop to just smell one rose but every bush in the garden, clearly that is not a partnership made in heaven. People in relationships should at least walk parallel to one another if not down the same path. If you aren't trying to go where I am going and I am not trying to go where you are going, then clearly we are not going to end up in the same place. People starting new or in a relationship need to have some kind of camaraderie with the person they are in a relationship with. If you are not friends and if you don't have anything in common, the relationship is doomed to failure. Of course, that is where patience comes in. Dealing with another person’s personality is not easy and we have to practice patience, especially when you are in a building a relationship. Now the white picket fence, 2.5 kids, and little poodle; I am sure will eventually drive me crazy. I know, for a fact that there has to be an element of chaos in my life. And so does GOD, he knows that we would get bored if everything in our lives were perfect every day. So when things go wrong, when life isn't perfect, when nothing is right; don't stress it. Go with the flow. When things are not perfect it challenges us and with every challenge there is growth. So when you are building the foundation of your relationship and challenges arise, know that those challenges are what will bond the two of you together; if you allow it. There is no one way to bake a cake. There are thousands of different cake recipes, and variations of those recipes. People change them to suit their needs and the same can be said for building a relationship. No two relationships are the same. Some require more communication than others. Some require more understanding, and some require a whole lot of patience. People always ask me “Isn't love enough?” and my reply is always the same. “Love is just icing on the cake”. It looks good, it taste good, and it even makes you feel really good. Unfortunately just because you in love or you love someone does not mean that the relationship is going to last.

What do the Lonely Do Valentine’s Day February 14th marks the day when so many people receive flowers, cards and chocolates from their partner to show their love. While this time of year is quite special for some, for others it can be a very trying time. There are some who have recently ended a relationship or other that can’t seem to find the right person to partner with. For those people, Valentine's Day can be a very sad and depressing time. Having to watch as others are showered with gifts and tokens of affection. It has even brought some to the point of contemplating suicide. Well, Valentine’s Day is not a day to give up hope. It is also not the day to be envious of the relationships being celebrated by others. It’s only one day out of an entire year. Don’t let this one day define your life or your outlook on your experiences. It might be true that you are not currently in a relationship, but you are not alone. You have the love and affection of your family and friends. Think about how many of your friends and family members that are also not in a current relationship. When you think about it, you might know more people that are single than people in relationships. In that light, being single might be the norm. And when you think about some of those relationships, you should thank your lucky stars that you don’t have to deal with some of the things other people you know are dealing with. There are people on the brink of suicide or murder because of the relationships that they’re in.
25
What do the Lonely Do Valentine’s Day There are many people who would love to be in a relationship and be receiving those same gifts. But as luck would have it, they’re not in a relationship at this time. The thing is, you’re always in a relationship with yourself. So celebrate that relationship and do something special for yourself. You don’t have to be in a relationship to enjoy the day. Make the day special by enjoying your favorite meal. Hang out with friends, enjoying a spa day, relax with a good book, take yourself to the movies and so many other things. Now would also be a goodtime to keep yourself busy so you don’t have to sit and think about what the day is. Get out and go for a walk, take yourself to the mall. Gather with some of your single friend and just do something fun and unexpected. Check out your local activities section of your local paper. There are always plenty of things going on within the city. Check out a local music artist or a local poetry jam. If you. Since Valentine’s Day is on a Friday, maybe hit up one of your local clubs or bars. You might just meet someone to take your mind off of the fact that you’re not in a relationship. The time will come soon enough for your relationship. Enjoy this time and celebrated how good you have been to yourself. And what a wonderful mate you will make for that special person that deserves your time and attention. Now is not a time for feeling self -pity. It is a time to appreciate the person you are and that your best days are ahead of you.

Ask Aunt Pearl Dear Aunt Pearl:
I’ve been dating this guy for about 1 and a half years. His job has him traveling for long periods of time to different cities. He has been gone for the last 5 months. His job has changed and he is now about to stay permanently in our city. He is so excited that we can finally see each other on a daily basis. I have messed around with other guys but always considered him to be my number one. While we will continue to live separately, I’m not sure I’m ready for him to be in the same city with me for an extended time frame. The guy I’ve been messing around with for the last few months is amazing. The sex is great. He is so cool to hang with. And he’s not looking for anything serious. How do I handle this. I don’t think the new guy will continue to be with me with him being around so much. But I ‘m not ready to give him up yet. What should I do? Dear Mr. Have It All; Sounds like you have a case of is the bird in the hand worth more than the one rockin the bushes. From your letter, it sounds like guy #1 is ready to see where your relationship with him can go and guy #2 is just looking for a good time. You might be able to juggle them both for a little while until you can figure out what is more important to you. I think guy #1 would be willing to keep thing slow while you get adjusted to being together on a more regular basis. I’m also sure that if guy #2 is only looking for a good time, he’s not too worried about what other irons you have on your fire, as long as his remains hot. Just set a boundary with guy #1 so that you maintain some of your free time. Then you’ll have time to spend with guy #2. If you juggle this right, You can keep them both for a little while. Just don’t get greedy. This won’t last forever. Sooner or later you’ll have to make a decision. Or one will be made for you. And you might not like that one.

Ask Aunt Pearl Dear Aunt Pearl: I just found out that my boyfriend of one year is cheating on me. He has been messing around with this guy in his fraternity. This guy is married and his wife recently had a baby. I see the situation as a distraction for the married man but I don’t know how to handle this. My man has always been attentive to me and only recently did I begin to see the change in him. I’m not one to try and make someone promise to leave the other guy alone, because I know if someone wants to cheat, they will make it happen. I have fallen in love with this guy and I believe he has fallen in love with me. I just think we might have a different definition of what being in love means and how that effects your actions. I believe that he feels its ok to cheat as long as home is being taken care of. I feel that because of what you have at home, you should not cheat. How would you handle this situation? This is the first time I’ve dealt with this with him. I really don’t want to be in a relationship where I’m always wondering if my man is out cheating. Dear My man has another Man: From your letter, it sounds like you think your man is just cheating for the hell of it. The first thing you need to do is find out if that is really the case. You also need to get on the same page as your man about the components of your relationship, because if you don’t you will always be in the dark about his actions. It sounds like you have a good head on your shoulders, but your love for this man is clouding your vision. I suggest you get a clear vision of what you have and it will be easier to make a decision about what to do next. It will be easier to decide what you can put up with when you know the whole story. If you have a question or situation that you would like Aunt Pearl to share some of her knowledge with you, send your letter to askauntpearl@moccamag.com or you can submit the letter from the comments page at www.moccamag.com.
