Hey everyone! It's thursday....
Thursday, June 29, 2006
I came to the office before 3 o clock for the first time, I was here around 11 something in the morning!

I came in to talk to some of the people that will be coming to harlem live for the summer through summer youth. It went well, I think that they will do well in the program. Kamal came in and completely took over saying the same things I already said, but hey at least the people will definitely know what they are getting into.

I have also recently written a story on Charlayne Hunter Gault's new book and her visit to the Hue-man bookstore in Harlem, so that story should be up on the site soon (TYRELL!!!)

Hopefully this summer will be really productive. Oh and everyone catch me in the August issue of Seventeen magazine which is in stores right now!
On page 159 you will see mention of my interview with Fefe Dobson who I interviewed for HarlemLIVE! so visit the site www.harlemlive.org to read the story that I wrote from the interview.

Im on pages 50, 51 and 159
Here's a preview:

HL's Summer Youth Media Challenge
Tuesday, June 13, 2006
We're off to a good start, ahead of where we were last year. And now, we have Kamal to work basically full time to run the office and learn all the systems and procedures. We've been do'n well with the alums of the day and many have been posted on this blog.

We have a lot coming up this week: stories, meetings, classes, presentations. Keep checking the calendar for daily changes.

We just spoke to the folks at ABC TV. We're going to go check the space for the award ceremony in August. We receive our award from Union Square next week, which will allow for us to pay rent, pay kamal, buy new equipment and have money for bills for the next few months. Phew!!!

HarlemLIVE - Monday June 12th
Monday, June 12, 2006
School is finally almost finished! So I will be at Harlem Live a lot more now. It's too bad I won't be getting paid though because I missed the Summer Youh deadline. They ask for way too many papers...

I taught a journalism class last week. It was interesting. Most of the things in journalism that I do, it's like second nature or something. But in order to teach other people you have to remember that they don't know ANYTHING AT ALL. You have to tell them even the litte things that you may not even think about or take for granted. But it felt good to spread information about the field of journalism and inspire other young people to become involved in that field.
This summer I'll be attending a workshop at NYU, and will do a story to document that experience in addition to writing the story for the NYU paper and whatever else they will be having me do. I will also be living on the NYU expense free for ten days. Well, I am about to go rehearse for this HL fashion show, going down JUNE 30th!! HOV is in the building!

Also....make sure you get that August 2006 issue of SEVENTEEN magazine.........I'm in it.

Add me on myspace: www.myspace.com/prettygirlsruletheworld
If I never met you be sure to just drop me a message to let me know that you know me from HL because I tend to deny people I don't really know.

Till next time.....
Stay focused..........
See You At the Top

I hate Mondays but this one wasn't too bad
Monday, June 05, 2006
Like I said I hate Mondays but today wasn;t that bad. I made it to school on time today and went to all my classes and did all my homework. I got out a little early and made it up to HL and got some stuff done. I posted important dates for the Fashion Show on the calendar and wrote a story for HL (I can't even remember the last story I wrote for HL but I'm sure Kevin can). I taught a class with Rhonesha (Journalism Part 2). It was good, the kids were kind of quiet (maybe I was talking too much; well no because I asked if anyone had questions). I hope that they took it all in, but the best thing about journalism is that most of it you just learn by experience. I am really excited about all the newbies coming in. They are all young and seem really eager to learn and work which is great! I am sad I won't be around in July to see them in the competition. But I think this summer is going to be great. While up in Ithaca I hope to help out as much as I can and I will be there for the awards ceremony. Summer '06!!!

Alumni of the Day: Ashleigh Covington
Friday, June 02, 2006




This month is filled with appearances by HarlemLIVE alums. Today Alumni Ashleigh Covington stopped by the office after a long absence. She hasn't been by the office so long that she got lost when she was coming up here.

"I took the 2 train and started walking the opposite direction, and then I'm like this doesn’t look familiar," Ashleigh said.

Ashleigh first came to HarlemLIVE in 2003 after her friend Giselly, who is another alumni of the organization, told her about the program. This Brooklyn resident would come into the office everyday after school and even on Saturdays.
During her time at HarlemLIVE she mainly focused on photography and web design. But one of her proudest achievements at HarlemLIVE was speaking at the Harlem Chamber of Commerce.

“It was my first public speaking event for HarlemLIVE. I had a stuttering problem then but I actually did pretty good, “ she said.

Ashleigh’s most memorable experience at HarlemLIVE was going on a full-paid trip to Vermont to teach kids from the former U.S.S.R. about technology. She got to stay with complete strangers during her stay but was surprisingly surprised about how much fun she had there.

“My host were sown-to-earth people, really nice,” Ashleigh said.

When asked, what was her most embarrassing moment at HarlemLIVE she replied that it was the day she played hooky from school and came up to the office.

“I didn’t go to school one day and I came [into HarlemLIVE] in the morning. I had opened the door because I have keys and the alarm went off and I didn’t know the code. I called Rich but he wasn’t answering his phone. I thought I was going to jail. Luckily his alarm wasn’t that good because no one showed,” said Ashleigh.

Now that this 20 year old is out of high school and planning to start college in the fall at John Jay College she had this last thing to say about her time at HarlemLIVE.

“I learned you can work and have fun at the same time.”
