This is to all the women in my

life, for you are my

“Village”









This is to all the women in my life, for you are Respect for your elders
my “Village”.
No profanity have they ever heard from my lips

My past, present and future has been in your My Village, My Village
hands to mold and make, to polish and shine.
Some of the residents have earned their wings,
You have been my strength, my anchor when I
became weak gone home to be with the King

Guided me in the right path when I couldn’t see Their perception and my reflection of me is
the forest for the trees
on the same sheet of music, playing the same
My tools of the trade was your shared
experiences and wisdom song

God is Great, God is Good, In the key of G
You betta’ pray before you eat that food
Clean your plate, wash your hands On the days when I am ‘Kicking, but not too
high”, and “ugly has met me and stayed”
Brush your teeth and bathe regularly
On my knees before bed, eyes closed, little I feel their presence and I still hear them praying
hands together with us

Lord lay me down to sleep, I pray the lord my
soul to keep My Village, My Village

Peace and blessings for the whole world, God… Did not and do not wear fancy costumes and
Please and Thank You
fly
I learned morals and values from the best of
em’ No super powers or fight crime
However, when I deviated
They gave me what money could never buy
You chastised and whipped me when I needed
my “hind parts tore’ out da frame” Time, Strength, Wisdom, Friendship, Courage
You taught me about God and his Son and Unconditional Love

Said, “Give from the heart, and God will bless
you for it” My Village

Yes Ma’am, No Ma’am My Super shero’s in my life

She is the glue in any type of situation Man from her view of life
SHE Its easier to just die…DEAD!

WE ASKED OUR BEAUTY EXPERT- AUTHOR
AND CELEBRITY MAKEUP ARTIST,
KYM NICOLE OUBRE TO ANSWER
YOURBEAUTY QUESTIONS.


Q: I have combination skin and my makeup tends to
make me look like a ball of grease by the
end of the day. What is the best foundation for me to
use? -Tiffanee S.
A: Combination skin is skin that has oily and dry areas.
It is usually oily in the “T-zone” and dry
around the eyes and perimeter of the face. The best
foundations to use are those formulated
for combination/oily skin. Look for products that say
longwear, or 16+ hour stay. A lot of drug
store brands like Revlon, will specify skin type on the
packaging. One of my favorite
foundations for combination/ oily skin is MACs Pro
Longwear Nourishing Waterproof
foundation. It helps control the oils in the center of the
face and nourishes enough to keep the
dry areas moisturized.
Q: My dark under eye circles drive me crazy. I find
myself constantly applying concealer
throughout the day to to cover them and it ends up
looking heavy and grey. Help! How can I
cover these dark circles? -Shannon P.

A: Great question! The first step is to hydrate and
moisturize. Make sure your under eye area is

well hydrated. Eye creams should be implemented
into your skincare routine.

Chose a color corrector.
orange depending on your skin tone. Color correctors

Karen Civil... you likely already know the name. This Alpha Female is a force to be
reckoned with in the entertainment industry. She is an entrepreneur, a brilliant speaker
and a philanthropist. Karen’s success in global marketing and content creation has
provided this queen with commanding influence in culture and has bridged the gap
between brand powerhouses and mainstream artists.

Karen Civil first developed an interest in the impact of social media when she began
bolstering online communities via a fan site for the best selling boy band of all time, The
Backstreet Boys. This passion would soon evolve into a profession when she landed an
internship with HOT 97’s DJ Funkmaster Flex. Karen’s expertise allowed Flex’s online
presence to explode, and she continued to successfully unite hip-hop with digital media
by shaping artists brands. Karen established herself as a reputable and necessary
player in the entertainment world and gained momentum to launch KarenCivil.com
along with @AlwaysCivil Enterprise. This “Civilized” foundation provided a digital
platform for exclusive interviews, entertainment and music news and artist growth. She
was named Digital Marketing Director for Beats by Dre, and later used her marketing
skills to cultivated unprecedented branding partnerships with giants like Nike, Louis
Vuitton, AT&T, Verizon, Fashion Nova, Toyota, and many more. Her achievements have
been publicly recognized with awards from The National Black Public Relations Society,
the Next Innovator Award, Black Enterprise Social Influencer Award, MTV’s HipHop
MVP Award, and more.

Far greater than any of her titles or awards, Karen Civil is a humanitarian. The @LiveCivil
outreach specifically seeks to benefit children, women of color and Haiti. Karen is of
Haitian descent, and Haiti is very special to her. She founded the Live Civil school and
playground there in 2015. But her desire to uplift others did not end there. In true Alpha
Female fashion, Karen self-published her first book, “Be You & Live Civil: Tools for
Unlocking Your Potential & Living Your Purpose.” The book is meant to build awareness
of the Live Civil brand and to provide the reader with the necessary tools for
empowerment and entrepreneurship. For these reasons and so many more, Karen Civil
truly embodies all that it means to be an Alpha Female.

Deborah Cox
Alpha Female Interview







1. What is your definition of Alpha Female ? generations by her drive and determination to not let her
past stand in the way of her future. I also admire women
An Alpha female is totally confidence in herself and knows like Maya Rudolph and Goldie Hawn who continue to use
her worth. She knows her strengths and is not afraid to their comedic intelligence.It’s just as sexy and smart to be
admit she’s human and has weaknesses. She’s supportive a funny girl.
of other women and is not afraid of seeing them shine.
She can hold her own, next to any male without diminishing 3. When you hear “the future is female,” what comes to
her light or power. mind?
2. Being a woman in the entertainment business, what That statement makes me feel like we’ve made so many
other women have inspired you throughout your career? strides as women and that society has finally caught
up to where women have always been. We are fearless,
I’ve always looked up to a number of women like: Diana unapologetic and fierce.
Ross, a mother with 5 children that never compromised
motherhood for her career. Phylicia Rashad for doing 4. What is missing when it comes to women’s
the same. Oprah has always been one that inspired empowerment?


38

I don’t know if we’re missing anything but I think we need
to continue the conversation

We need to teach our young girls that there’s nothing
wrong with supporting each other and it should start from
a young age.
Often times we get into cliques and end up missing out on
support from one another.
5. If you could go back in time & meet a younger you, what
would you tell yourself?
I would tell my younger self not to worry about the little
things so much. It’s more important to enjoy the process
and journey of life. I’d also suggest that she be patient
with herself during that process.

6. How do you balance your career and family life ?
I balance by making my family a priority. I try to not be
overwhelmed with the fact that I have work to do. I used
to feel so guilty when I had to leave but now, I consult with
my family first and make sure that I plan things before so
that we all get the necessary family time in. It’s important
to me to have quality time with them.

7. Is there anyone you never worked with that you would
like to in future ?

I’d love to collaborate with John Legend, the late Luther
Vandross is one of my greatest regrets.

We had the opportunity but because of scheduling wasn’t
able to make it happen.

I’d also like to a female empowerment song with various
artists.

8. What was the inspiration for iconic, hit single, “Nobody’s
suppose to be here “?

I don’t know what the inspiration was because the writers
told me it was originally written for Patti LaBelle. All I can
tell you is that the first time I heard this song it spoke to
me. That’s how I fell in love with my husband. I also knew
that it was going to be a very powerful record because it
really resonated with my truth.
9. Tell us about your new single “Easy Way” . Will we get a
new Deborah Cox album ?
The new single “Easy Way” is about that moment in Love
where are you don’t know what to do, you don’t know if
you should take the easy way out by giving up or if you
should stick it out and fight for it and stay together.

10. What can the world get ready to see from Deborah Cox
in 2020?

I have a film called Influence out on BET plus Feb 20th
A new album and more movies in the works!!

I’m excited about 2020.
My vision and goals are so clear!
