The Swagger Zone™ starts the New Year
off with honesty, humility and heartfelt
inquiries. It is no secret that
communication is a serious issue in
relationships...well, our brave brothers of
The Swagger Zone™ address this subject
matter by posing thought provoking
questions such as, “Sister, Can You Hear
Me?” “Brother, Do You Know Where You
Are Headed?”… as well as broaching the
topics of growing from Boys to Men,
starting a successful business, better
managing of one’s health and finances in
2010 and much, much more!
This issue of The Swagger Zone™ truly
embodies a new depth and renewed
purpose. It's a wonderful occurrence
when our brothers share their hearts.
This is one issue you can't afford to miss!
A wonderful change has come over the
Man of the Hour, Elder Jerry Smith, Senior
Pastor of Christian Pentecostal Church in
Irvington, New Jersey. He graces the
cover of this issue and blesses us with
wisdom, hope and proof that if God be for
you...HE is more than the world is against
you!

Swagger Zone Intro

As the Financial Editor for The DIVA Zone Magazine™ and the only male writer
since the launch in March 2008, it has truly been an honor to work along side
of Najiyyah Brooks, the Founder/President of The DIVA Zone Magazine™. She’
s a woman of excellence, a visionary and passionate woman of God. Her
mission in life is to be a messenger and a vessel of spiritual freedom,
restoration of women, men and families. Her passion for doing God’s will drives
her to continually search for new and innovative ways to encourage, edify,
empower, nurture and usher God’s people into their unique destinies.
The DIVA Zone Magazine™ is an outgrowth of her passion to build up the
entire women; mind, body and soul. Through my association with the Magazine
I’ve had the unique opportunity to hear the many concerns voiced by women.
As a happily married man to the same woman for 23 years, because of the
Magazine, I’ve gained a greater appreciation and understanding of my wife’s
concerns, emotions, fears and needs.
If you’re wondering how I came to this greater appreciation and understanding
of my wife, I’ll tell you. It’s simple; I’m more willing to first listen to the real deep
seeded feelings and concerns that my wife is experiencing in her life. The key
is I’m willing; she has been waiting for me to get to this place in life. As a writer
for the Magazine, I’ve had the chance to hear the real, “straight, no chaser”,
thoughts of women from across the country relating to things that they only say
to each other when their men are not around. Like my wife, they too have been
waiting for their men to get to this place in life where they can be heard, and
possibly understood. I’ve learned a lot by hearing the voices of The DIVA
Zone Magazine™ readership and because of it my marriage has been greatly
enriched.
What would happen if men and women found a way to communicate what they
were feeling? I can answer that for you, it would be the beginning process of
healing for all involved. The DIVA Zone Magazine™ provides women with the
forum to speak out and the platform to experience healing in many areas of
their lives. However, what about the men in their lives? Where do they
experience healing or a platform to speak out?
To answer this question, The DIVA Zone Magazine™ is ready to give birth to a
male counterpart magazine! His name will be called the Swagger Zone™!
So women sit and listen to what your men are saying. Men, it’s time to speak
out!
