Teamwork Makes the Dream Work

This is not a cliche!

Have you ever worked on a project that was someone else’s vision? Well I recently had the privilege of working with some dynamic people on Ralph McDaniels 35th Anniversary Of Video Music Box in association and with the support of the King of Kings Foundation of Jamaica Queens. Ralph McDaniels was responsible providing a platform for hip hop and old school artists to have their videos seen and music heard since 1983.

Furthermore, he produced videos as well for NAS, Black Moon, and Bell, Biv, Devoe (BBD), just to name a few. Raised in Brooklyn for a number of years, Ralph would eventually move to Queens. After a successful event celebrating 35 years of VMB on July 7th at Coney Island featuring artists such as Fat Joe, KRS One, Nice & Smooth, Special Ed among others. With his connection to Queens and the King of Kings Foundation both Ralph and Lance thought it not robbery to include pioneer hip hop artists performing at Roy Wilkins Park in Jamaica, Queens.

The planning went on over a period of a month or so; where Lance Feurtado and Ralph McDaniels brought together groups of professionals and confidants to realize Ralph’s vision of celebrating the great artists that came out of the borough of Queens. Furthermore, through built relationships both men were confident that this event would be one for the history books. Featured artists included Kid N Play, Sweet Tee, Keith Murray, Mr. Cheeks, Frick N Frack, DJ’s SMV, Kid Capri and Red Alert! Elected officials, the community and a host of others supported the event.

It was an amazing day with nothing but love as we supported Ralph McDaniels in realizing his vision with a phenomenal team; too many to name...You know who you are and together we created something great! All honor and glory to God. A big thanks to Ralph McDaniels, The King of Kings Foundation, all of the Bike and SUV clubs, and the entire team! Teamwork makes the dream work and we’re just getting started. Stay tuned!

No matter what my eyes may see, No matter what my ears my hear

Do you know that what God has said in His word “The Holy Bible” is true? So why do we become so discombobulated when faced with a trial? In our human behavior, we function based on what we have learned; which can also be derived by our emotions. However, we need to remind ourselves that GOD is ALMIGHTY and HE has the final say! Even though the doctors news did not sound favorable; all I keep hearing is “no matter what my eyes may see, no matter what my ears may hear. Furthermore, whose report will we believe? I choose to believe God in all his infinite wisdom. We must exercise our faith through action. Do you believe? When you are going through a trial, and everything thing around you is falling apart; hold on by faith because you are close to your blessing.  Remember the storms God has brought you through! Remember how much He Loves us. The source of love is God! GOD IS LOVE 📷️

Have You Decided?

Everyday I am blessed to wake up, I make a conscious decision to be happy! Now don’t get me wrong, most nights I toss and turn, sometimes in serious pain. There is so much I can complain about, but I don’t. In fact, I refuse to complain when I know that there are people suffering right in my own neighborhood and all over this world. Sure I have my challenges, as we all do, but when I look around and see people unable to walk, homeless, hungry...who am I to complain. I have so much to be thankful for, and I realize that I am here to help others in whatever way I can. So I encourage you to look around and be thankful in your circumstance, whether good or bad. God is preparing you for greater, so hold on because everything is in divine order. Remember “And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.” ‭‭Romans‬ ‭8:28‬ ‭ESV‬‬ Decide to be happy and live on purpose!
