Welcome To The Winter 23 Issue!
Welcome to Winter 2023! September 2023 marked our 14th anniversary of this platform and publication and I’m extremely proud and thankful to mark that milestone with this issue! I announced our relaunch on January 22, 2023 and was welcomed back with open arms, hearts and minds. Our first event was the 95th Oscars, we were proud to cover all events and what a way to kick off our return! We’re thankful to our friends at AMPAS and can’t wait for the upcoming events! Our Summer 2023 issue featured our coverage of the Tribeca Festival which were filled with so many phenomenal moments! Fall 2023, I was finally able to see The Renaissanc e World Tour in Los Angeles and I’m still missing the vibes! We were on the move in Ft. Lauderdale to celebrate FLIBS2023 with old friends and connect with new friends. Special thanks to the press teams, publicists, crews and everyone we celebrated with. We were delighted to meet the team at Sunreef and celebrate the debut of the 80 SUNREEF POWER ECO SÓL. We were invited onboard to meet the team and given an exclusive tour. After touring this all solar powered super cat, I fell in love and decided it would be my cover story. More on this super cat and other favorites from FLIBS in the following pages. I’m taking you all on a few field trips via our YouTube channel Xposure 365 so be sure to subscribe for subscriber only exclusives.
Allow me a brief moment to tell you about the force that is Pinky Cole, you all may know her from Slutty Vegan. Her entrepreneurial venture American Sesh is THE event to attend if you’re able to score a seat. Watching her work (8 months pregnant, mom and newlywed) and her team work was quite something to witness. She’s featured in these pages twice as an author and as one of my 2023’s best events. Pinky, I watched you and your husband change lives and mindsets in real time at American Sesh it was an honor and I can’t wait to support your next few moves. I am extremely proud to be We attended Balmain’s Atlanta store opening which also celebrated the one and only Ant Kai. Ant’s sneaker collaboration which was one of the top moments of my year. Special thanks to Taylor, Paige and everyone at Balmain. Ant, I’m extremely proud of you and can’t wait to support your next moves! From there, we attended the 2023 Celebration Bowl thanks to the teams at ESPN, the MEAC & SWAC organizations and all teams involved. Friends of the publication, Eighty5 Cigars believed in me and took a chance. Although I’ve extended my personal thanks privately it’s important to do it publicly. Thank you Chad Johnson, Marissa MJ Morton and the entire Eighty5 team for your belief and support over the years. Thank you for giving our audience tips on elevating their cigar game with your sponsorship! Excited to see what 2024 holds for all of us! Lastly, I want to take a moment to share the most valuable lesson I’ve learned and put into serious practice as we move forward. Always bet on yourself - although the stakes are high you’ll never lose believing in yourself. Continue to have faith, get comfortable with being uncomfortable and pivot when you believe you should. Thanks to my collective for your support, prayers and belief. Let’s make 2024 memorable, the best is truly yet to come! Our Power & Influence issue is up next and the featured lineup is fire! Until next time…
Best, Goldyn

Goldyn’s Touch
Fresh off the flight back to Atlanta, I was honored to receive an invitation to An Evening with Rick Ross. The event was hosted by Professor Mo Ivory based on her Georgia State College of Law course Legal Life of Rick Ross. The evening a fireside discussion with Rick Ross and Professor Ivory highlighting lessons from the coursework given to students during the semester. Ross discussed the lessons he’s learned throughout the years building his successful empire which started with music but expands across all industries. It was a night filled with laughter, lessons and inspiration and we even met Mrs. Roberts - Ross’ mother which was such a honor. Special thanks to Attorney Leron Rogers and Attorney John Rose for the invitation. Special thanks to Professor Ivory, students and Mr. Ross.
