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!

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!
