2011::The Year of DIVINE Revelation...2012::The Year Of DIVINE Glory...2013::The Year Of DIVINE Faith



2013 The Year Of DIVINE Faith
"Faith is your divine anchor and it's the surprise to reason, peacefulness and sure success. Clearly stated it is sacred success."
~Author Unknown


2012 was truly the Year of DIVINE Glory. DIVINE Magazine was honored by the University of Memphis as being an outstanding publication. Such an award was in perfect timing as we celebrated 5 years in publication as a print and digital magazine. We've been blessed to launch in several cities even in the midst of an economic downfall and we were able to defy all odds that PRINT magazines were becoming obsolete.  I'm truly grateful for my Editorial team including Angela Wilson and Kadi Henderson as well as my awesome Director of Photography Courtney Long , my Creative Director Terrell Gatewood, my Advisory Board members who work behind the scenes, my Staff Blogger Tiffoni Y. Mitchell, my freelance photographers, ad designers and writers & the members of my Street Team who help to distribute & spread the word about DIVINE. In 2013, we're expecting to do even more and I believe that God will continue to use DIVINE Magazine to impact people across the nation!!!

As we prepare for 2013 let's take a moment to recap on DIVINE Magazine's 2012 Highlights :

Celebrated 5 Years
It's truly an accomplishment to reach 5 years as a publication and it was a privilege to celebrate such an amazing milestone this year. We are looking forward to another 5 years and we hope you are along for the journey with us! Thank you to everyone for your continued support because we couldn't have reached this milestone without our advertisers, sponsors and readers!

Business Issue
We were privileged to encourage Business Owners everywhere with our official Business Issue. We featured  the incomparable Pam Perry and she shared some awesome tips on how businesses and ministries can market their brand by using Social Media. Ken Brown provided some very insightful tips on how to exit a business in case the seasons in your life change and you need to go in a different direction. Meagan & Darius Peace also shared their story of starting their own Cosmetics company from the ground up!

35 People Who Inspire Feature: My awesome staff & I worked hard to interview and feature 35 amazing men & women who are inspiring & impacting their communities & our world. It was a great feature & readers loved the idea. To find out who was featured and to view the entire Fall/Winter Issue email freedivinemagazine@gmail.com. To view the extended feature click here.

4th Annual Bowl-A-Thon & Silent Auction 
I had the privilege to travel on a mission trip to Africa in 2009 and was so moved by the experience that she wanted to give others the opportunity to go global. The 4th Annual Bowl-A-Thon & Silent Auction was a HUGE success & we are looking forward to another great Bowl-A-Thon In 2013. To view the journal of my 10 day journey in Africa click here to view. A Special Thanks to all of our Sponsors, Cordova Bowling Center, our teams, and everyone who made generous donations.

CYBERWORLD CONNECTIONSOver the year's, we've created a number of Cyberworld Connections in order to increase our Internet presence. We're on MyspaceFacebookTwitterYouTube and now Pinterest. In addition to THIS BLOG, we also distribute an electronic newsletter to hundreds of readers entitled Bringing You Everything Inspirational to provide information about the positive events that are taking place around the city and beyond. The e-newsletter is also a great opportunity for business owners to spread the word about their services and connect with potential customers. (To receive DIVINE Magazine's weekly e-newsletter email us). We also increased our readership through DIVINE Digital, our digital version of the print publication. We went from reaching 5,000+ people to over 20,000+ people by making the magazine available in both a print and digital format. In 2010, our plan was to double our readership numbers and we actually surpassed our goal. Praise God! A Special Thanks to my interns Kirstin Cheers, Khaliah Cooper & Natalie Poe for serving their hard work and dedication on our Social Media Sites and helping to make sure that our Online Presence was on point!

CYBERSTATS: Our Facebook Fan Page grew in leaps & bounds. In a matter of months, we increased from 1400 to over 2500 Fans. Our MySpace page includes over 1400 Friends and our Twitter page has over 1400 followers. Overall, we have over 5,300 Online Supporters A Huge Jump From Last Year's Numbers of 3,500!!!


PARTNERSHIPS: We partnered with so many awesome organizations this year including Delisha Easley Ministries, Ruby Naturals, B & R Realty, Seacret Direct, Seleria Perryman Ministries, Diva Couture Accents, P3 Retirement & Tax, Crye-Leike Realtors, Paradigm Dental Center, Gutsy Grace, Dr Mac Carpet Cleaning, Glory Shine Adornment, Invest Fitness, LLC, JP Connections, Ginny Edwards International, Perfection Floors, Bona Fide Event Management, By God Inspired, Darlene's Art School, MTLY Communications, The Glamour Girl Movement, Ladies Of Armor, Trinity Entertainment Group, L2 Design & Printing Co., Daybreak Outsourcing, WingStop Cordova, Memorable Moments Photography and a number of churches & ministries!


ADVERTISERS & SPONSORS DIVINE could not be where it is without the support of its Advertisers & Sponsors! A HUGE THANK YOU To Our New Partner By God Inspired & BGI Radio . A HUGE THANK YOU Also Goes To Kingdom Quality Communications for Sponsoring the Anniversary Issue of DIVINE Magazine!!! To everyone who has shown undying support for DIVINE Magazine , you know who you are and we appreciate all that you do & by sowing into DIVINE you are sowing right back into your life/business/ministry. May you, your family and your business/ministry experience extreme overflow and favor always.

READERS & SUPPORTERS Without your support our purpose of inspiring men & women to greatness would be null & void. Thank you for sharing this journey with us for almost 6 years and for growing with us. We aim to produce a high quality publication that exhibits excellence in every sense of the word. We also strive to create as many ways as possible to keep you connected and motivated in life to do what you're purposed to do! Know that you are awesome & your support is greatly appreciated.
In closing, 2012 presented challenges and obstacles, but nothing that God didn't allow or plan. I believe that God had to shake a few things up & now all things are in order. In 2013, I believe that if we continue to line up with God's will, then and only then will He give us DIVINE Revelation about how to navigate on this journey called LIFE. I pray that DIVINE Magazine has been a blessing to you in 2012 and that you will continue to support us in 2013 as we move forward on our journey to inspire nations!

Remember Be Encouraged, Be Grateful, Be Inspired!
DIVINE Magazine Publisher,
