Emahni Who Hi, My name is Emahni. I am a 24-year-old musician in Philadelphia. I grew up always loving to sing and from a young age I knew it was what I was meant to do. I am also a songwriter and dancer. I have been dancing since the age of 6 and took classes here and there throughout my career.

I also started songwriting when I was 9. My aesthetic is Dark RnB and every song I write comes from the heart.

I had the chance to go to Italy on tour with the Philadelphia All City Orchestra showcasing my love for the violin. I also studied at Settlement Sith Robert Klein I started playing violin when I was 9 and at the Wynne field Branch in piano. I also Nathan Wesner was my first teacher. I studied violin with Dara Morales from used to hate practicing and never thought the Philadelphia Orchestra along with I would become any good at the violin. Yet Monique Johnson. Both had a positive Mr. Wesner believed in me and refuse to impact on my confidence and overall let me give up. It was the one class I always musicianship as a violinist. looked forward to other than choir. Through my struggles in relationships, I’ve been singing since I could walk, and abandonment from my parents, battles then in high school I taught myself piano with depression and low self esteem, and some guitar. I was able to remember music is who I am. 9 chords instantaneously and hear notes in my head to mirror them on piano. T.Y.I Productions 11

TheInfamousConflict A.K.A Conflict for short, is a rap prodigy/CEO of GTC Productions from the Westside of Philadelphia. Born in the city of brotherly love, young Conflict took a liking to Hip Hop at the early age of 9 years old. Inspired by his father LA0 DaLegend, who released a few CDs in the mixtape era way before. Conflict started writing in notebooks at the age of 9, with hopes and dreams of being “The Greatest Rapper Of All Time!” Over the years his passion would grow like wildfire, drawing inspiration from the likes of Lil Wayne, Eminem, Kendrick Lamar, J Cole, and various other lyricist who were hot at the time of his uprising. By 2016 he had written his first project “The Prodigy” a six song EP and was ready to hit the studio. He saved up all the money he could from any hustle a 14-year-old could think of such as cutting grass to pumping gas. He spent all his savings on a 5-hour session at “Brownstone Studios” and recorded 7 songs at his first session! Over the years Conflict released many other singles and one collaboration project on SoundCloud, and every other streaming platform, dating all the way to 2022 his latest release is called “Brace”.

Page 12

THE INFAMOUS CONFLICT In 2020 Conflict created his slogan and conglomerate “GTC” which is short for “Greatness To Come”. GTC was created to inspire young black artist, actors, and entrepreneurs to fight for their wildest dreams and to settle for nothing less! Thus “GTCTHEMOVEMENT” was born! GTC is also used to celebrate all of the legends, BIG OR SMALL, in their own respective communities to highlight their triumphs of glory and even they’re mistakes. This way we can learn from our past and the next generation can be better than the last, as we continuously grow stronger for generations to come! There are a lot of great stories that go untold in the ghetto, and GTC has taken the liberty to see through as many of these stories can be told as possible; thus, to reinforce the levels of love and respect, and to strengthen the power of knowledge in urban communities. From PHILLY to every ghetto across the globe! Conflict & GTC methods are consistently evolving by the day, as he is shaping out to have a great legacy and career when it’s all said and done!

Poetic G The Artist and CEO of T.Y.I Productions

It all started about 12 years ago in 2010 I recorded my first mixtape titled “Roll em Up” in a underground basement with my boy P.o.P., Funny thing is he engineered the entire project and collaborated on tracks with me. From that point on I grew a strong love for Music and my confidence has grown overtime. I continued producing lyrics at a high rate. From 2010 to 2016, I did 4 mixtapes with no video. Feedback off the music was good.

Once 2018 hit, I developed a different motivation, and I changed my entire mindset with my craft. In order to elevate I had to do something such as advancing the quality of music. One day I took a leap of contacting Repercussion Studios for a session. I made it there, recorded a song mix and mastered and, I thought to myself this is it: the quality sound my lyrics need. This Journey has been worth every minute of it. At times you feel less confident, at times you feel overconfident, but I tell you what: I never wished to be Great at this, I already knew I was chosen for this because the message is too powerful for simple minds to understand. Greatness truly lives within the heart of an individual not in what they possess.

ASHIA’S STORY There wasn’t much favor over my life as I thought. Broken black girl. Considered black sheep of the family. I’m in my early 30s I’ve had one too many of the wrong guys. I’ve been looking for love in all the wrong places. I’m sitting here, in the pandemic, pregnant with twins and a 9-year-old daughter diagnosed with ADHD. Keep in mind I’ve already bypassed the crack error being a crack baby and sexual assault survivor with no one coming to save me. Fast-forward to two years ago. In school and teaching full time. Lost and nowhere to turn. I aASHIAm lonely but God said, “You are not Alone”. I decided to leave him, pregnant. I’m sitting here wanting an abortion, wanting to give them up for adoption and not wanting this life. Not even knowing that I am walking into single Parenthood. I don’t know what to do! We all can be in the streets, honestly, except God. Having three kids and no support. The system can even take my kids, but God was there. I remember it clearly 2019 they tiptoe around the word in a pandemic and sickness of covid. I know I’m 3 months pregnant and I left him, so I’ve decided to be a single mom. I’m choosing to walk away from a man that could physically help but spiritually not help at all. I’m in school full-time and a kindergarten teacher with barley a salary to cover rent. I have a 9-year-old running around in circles waiting for me to make choices that are healthy for herself and I. What I do know, is she wanted these babies because she was lonely, and Mom wasn’t giving her enough. I remember clearly, I thought I was going to give up. I had a lawyer set game plan and an execution. Now end of 2019 and clearly, I’ve passed the deadline for an abortion so why not give them up for an adoption? It’s a check involved, they’re not ripped from me, my bills can be paid, and I can go on with my life with one kid... like nothing is happening. Page 2

I remember thinking how are you going to sell your kids for a mirror check you? You opened your legs for free sis. The couple was a middle-class black girl and white man. I raised the twins for a whole 3 days in the hospital but that last day of breastfeeding my twin son hit different. I laid next to him in the bed, and I felt his heart. One of those times I looked over at the adoptive dad telling him “ be I remember the adoption family sitting careful with how you teach him how to in the hospital with me. They even cut be a black boy in your white world “. my umbilical cord. Excited about me It wasn’t like the system is coming to handing these babies over to them. I snatch my kids, it was me deciding remember looking over at this family feeling so overwhelmed and grateful that that I don’t want to be a single parent. I am a black woman with more failed I was giving a woman kids. relationships than I can count. I’m Also feeling like a failure. I put myself working on my master’s degree.

A Having to tell my kids the father is not around because of his past traumas. In which, I wish to have you all not be a part of. I assumed giving them up for adoption would be the easy way out. I walked out of the hospital day 3 with no babies. That was one of the hardest moments of my life and I’ve been through hell. It was so hard that I never went home.

The lawyer gets money, the adoption agency gets money, and the adopted families spend money. Just to be in an agency to maybe find them a child but maybe not. If it is a closed case, you cannot keep track of your child once you give them up. I dont know how anybody in this situation could have decided to do what’s best for their children. Have giving birth and not being with my children I find out the children are still in Pennsylvania at a hotel with the adopted family. I did all this by myself during a pandemic while in school full time leaving a domestic abuse relationship, graduating two months before giving birth to twins who were not supposed to make it. STILL while not knowing where God is going to take ME.

I watched people, who did not give birth to my children, carry my kids out and call them theirs. I remember A day after leaving the hospital I did signing the papers in the hospital not go home. How dare I go into my and the adoptive parents changing home that I prepared for twins in the their names. beginning and not have twins walkNot to mention the names the ing up those stairs with me. I went parents gave them were ugly as hell! to my girlfriend’s house and I prayed and cried on repeat. LITERALLY after leaving the hospital, I did not realize that this adoption agency was a multimillion-dollar business.

Two days LATER I saw my lawyer.

THE PLATINUM THOUGHTS

THE GOLDEN THOUGHTS

Page 46

Closing Remarks The Question we should all have, in these days and times, is do we care about life anymore? How is it that our youth are dying at such an alarming rate yet parents are fighting less and condoning the negative behavior. This should never be in such a society; we have come too far as a people to let our children destroy one another, without a thought of remorse. The reason I have decided to create this Magazine was to give the people a voice to speak on social issues, to inspire others to conquer their dreams, to help society build character to care for the people.
