Former Ms. Black North Carolina 2012,Shaunielle Foster has a 501(c)3 non-profit organization

called Footsteps To Follow. The mission of Footsteps To Follow, is to transform our children of today into our future of tomorrow. Foot-steps strives to do this in a way in which confidence strengthens their souls, lifts their spirits, en-courages their inner beauty and promotes fun and exciting mo-ments in their lives! We aim to empower and motivate all chil-dren in the Triad area by provid-ing them with the tools needed to achieve all of their goals. Shau-nielle has shared that the devel-opment of Footsteps To Follow is to motivate, encourage, inspire and captivate our children with the enthusiasm of greatness they can achieve.

Ms. Foster motivates and inspires the children of the Triad. She has identified some of the issues that our children face are low self es-teem, fear of failure or embar-rassing situations that could keep them from facing life issues and taking on opportunities to better themselves. At Footsteps To Fol-low...we guide them in the right di-rection. Footsteps to Follow, was

inspired by personal necessity. As a single parent of school aged children that were contending po-tential suppressing transitional challenges, peer pressure and socialization issues. Shaunielle sought out area youth programs to help her children become well adjusted. She realized that there were few accessible programs in the area offering a targeted fo-cus to fulfill this need. She took matters into her own hands and formed an organi-zation to address these issues for her children as well as those of all the Triad. Footsteps to Follow humbly provides compas-sionate guidance to its participants, offering positive opportunities with positive outcomes, thus fostering pos-itive growth in the right direction on life’s path.

Footsteps To Follow has already been involved with and/or spon-sored over 50 events this past cal-endar year. This year, Shaunielle Foster, will host the 3rd Annual Spring/Summer Children’s Fash-ion Show dedicated to At Risk Teens on April 21, 2013. She is currently working on a safe hav-en for homeless veterans and Get Fit with Footsteps dance classes for children in the Triad.

Shaunielle is also the President of FAS (Fos-ter’s Administrative Ser-vices), a consulting firm that provides third party administrative services

to corporations and non-profit or-ganizations. She consults regu-larly with executives from various fields to help create administra-tive solutions to world-impacting problems.

Ms. Foster is of Trinidadian de-scent, a native of New York and is currently earning a Master of Business Administration (MBA) with a minor in Human Resourc-es at Strayer University. She

presently resides in Greensboro, North Carolina with her two fan-tastic children. Ms. Foster is an e n t r e p r e n e u r, h u m a n i t a r i a n , motivational and public speaker, mentor, enter-tainer, radio per-sonality for Real Talk Real Women on WRN Radio Network, dancer

and model. She is also an active member of the National Associa-tion of Female Executives, a So-caMotion Instructor and President of Ladies of the Triad.

Is There a Doctor in the House?

Susan Flowers PhD

Page 11: Native Tongue Magazine - Issue 4

Susan Flowers, Ph D is a woman venturing where only a handful of her peers have gone, yet she is never afraid to blaze her own trails

toward success. Born on the impov-erished island of Jamaica and reared by immigrant parents in the notorious neighborhood of East NY, the odds were stacked against her. Yet at the tender age of 12, Susan felt the ‘tug of a gift to speak’ as she recited The Jab-berwocky in front of her sixth grade class. The sensation was explosive and unlike any she had ever experi-enced. A fire inside of her was instant-ly lit. Susan would later discover that not only was public speaking a natural for her, others would frequently re-quest her for mentoring, coaching and spiritual guidance. Like her mother, Susan was a born intuitive. This abil-ity allowed her to escape tremendous misfortune including a murder at-tempt on her life in 1981. Overcoming the resulting Post Traumatic Stress Disorder led to her first career as a Registered Nurse.

After advancing her education and launching a lucra-tive speaking ca-reer, Susan retired from 22 years of corporate health-care and a passion to expand her voice was born. Susan is now a rising ‘media maven.’ Talk Radio was her first love in the field of Broadcasting and she interviewed celebrity power brokers such as Louis Gossett Jr., Maya An-gelou, Iyanla Vanzant, Soledad O’Bri-an, Nigel Barker, Bernadette Stanis, Roland Martin and many more. How-ever, the images of women and blacks depicted on television always haunted Susan and her concern grew for these poorly represented groups. When she considers the areas that are critically important to these groups in media, the largest disadvantage is the inability to possess, distribute and create their own images and content. Exploita-tion is rampant against both groups.

As a dynamic, trailblazing woman of color in the Communication industry, Susan now lends her voice to broad-casting as a TV Channel Owner. As a speaker, author, journalist, coach and former radio personality, she is not only defining positive images, she now stakes her claim upon content creation and develop-ment. As the founder and CEO of Susan Flowers Television, an on-demand sub-channel of the Dish Network, Susan now dis-tributes programming to 14.5 million Dish subscribers na-tionwide. She recognizes this platform as a massive respon-sibility and an American Dream. However, it is her opportunity to make a difference for those poorly represented in media. Susan hum-bly considers herself a co-facilitator, noting that the Universe allows gifted filmmakers, producers and artists to find their creative voice through SFTV.

Susan blogs, lectures and coun-sels on the objective side of interper-sonal relationships among people. She is an expert on the social sci-ences, personal development, en-trepreneurship and broadcast media. Profiles of Susan have appeared in such publications as The Charlotte Observer, The Charlotte Post, Met-ro Proponent, and Girlfriends Health Guide. She is a featured media com-mentator on healthy relationships for CBS, NBC, FOX, PBS and News 14 Carolinas including appearances on such programs as Charlotte To-day, Fox News and Daily Balance.

Despite all of her professional ac-complishments, Susan’s proudest achievements thus far have been those of mother, mentor and philan-thropist. She enjoys making a differ-ence in the life of her two daughters

and setting an example for them as a ‘Woman Without Boundaries.’ Su-san has always maintained that “Ed-ucation remains the greatest vehicle out of poverty.” As founding board member and Chair of a school board, Susan helped to create and lead an exceptional charter middle school for several years and co-manage a fiscal budget of over $2,000,000/yr. In 2011, Susan joined forces with 7 colleagues and rose over $174,000 for the Leuke-mia and Lymphoma Society of Great-er Charlotte within 12 weeks. In 2012, Susan Flowers Television launched with a black tie benefit gala to support active duty U.S. military families. One hundred percent of the proceeds of this launch were donated to Opera-tion Purple, a summer camp estab-lished by the National Military Family Association to service the children of active duty military. Every year Su-san’s goal is to not only give back but to do so in a big way. She enjoys serv-ing her state and the city of Charlotte.

Anya Ayoung Chee is a Caribbean de-signer committed to creating irresist-ible clothes with an

easy, sexy vibe. Cast as the un-derdog in Season 9 of Lifetime Television’s Project Runway, she emerged the victor winning the entire competition as well as the ‘Fan Favorite’ prize and prizes from HP/Intel and L’Oreal, after she showed her Spring/ Sum-mer 2012 Collection at Mercedes Benz Fashion Week in New York.

Hailing from Trinidad and Tobago, Anya began her career in fashion when she launched her women’slabel, PILAR, in May 2009. In June 2010, she launched a lin-gerie line named Anya de Rogue, the first of its kind in the Caribbe-an. Following two successful pre-sentations at Trinidad & Tobago Fashion Week in 2009 and 2010 Anya applied for the reality com-petition on a whim, and became quickly known for her use of print

and easy, Caribbean-inspired pieces.

Since her win Anya and her line were featured at the HP Global Influencers Summit in Shanghai China, and at HP’s Alt Design Summit in Salt Lake City, Utah. Anya has also been keynote speaker at Cornell University’s “Celebration of Asian and Asian American Women” and panelist at Harvard Business School’s Retail and Luxury Goods Conference.

Anya has been featured in a va-riety of print and online media including January 2011’s Marie Claire magazine, July 2012’s is-sue of Coastal Living and the cov-er feature of the March/April issue of Caribbean Beat magazine.

A graduate of Parsons School of Design and Central St Martins School of Art and Design, Anya spent several years working as a designer in New York City until in 2007 she returned home to Trin-

idad after her eighteen-year old brother Pilar died tragically in a car accident. Soon after the move, Anya was selected to represent her country at the Miss Universe pageant. This experience pro-pelled her into a life in front on the camera as a model and television host. Anya has since hosted sev-eral Caribbean television, web-based events and live shows, in-cluding movie premieres, fashion shows and her own fashion pro-gram “Make It Yours”. Anya has also used her design skill to de-sign a costume in Carnivalband TRIBE for their 2011 and 2012 presentations.

In addition to her work in design, Anya is also the Tourism Ambas-sador of Trinidad & Tobago, for-mer Miss Trinidad & Tobago Uni-verse and spokesperson for her chosen NGO’s The TallManFoundation and Soleil Global.

MUSIC'S UPCOMING BILINGUAL DIVA

VERONICA VEGA

As Latin music continues to grow on Ameri-can soil, mainstream artists who straddle both the American and Latin American music markets like Jennifer

Lopez may have to respectfully move over; their pre-decessors are hitting the scene in the form of a new generation of upcoming Latin artists, one of those artists being Miami’s Veronica Vega. The Cuban-Ven-ezuelan singer is ready to turn up for Latin music as the newest signee to Polow’s da Don’s Interscope Records imprint Zone 4. The dual cultures that which Vega embraces inspired Polow da Don: “Working with Vega has been a life changing experience - Cultural-ly, Musically, and Spiritually,” Polow da Don said in a statement. “With all that I know about music, I’ve been just as much a student during the process of this proj-ect. This project opens my eyes to how big the world really is.”

Her latest single is the fiery “El Papel (Paper)” featur-ing rapper Betty Idol, which is their take on the viral track “The Harlem Shake” . But don’t pin Vega into the “trend follower” box. She made a video showing her vocal chops, covering the Selena classic “No Me Que-da Mas,” a credit to the many classic influences in her repertoire.

Now, a couple of weeks before the release of her of-ficial single “Wicked” featuring Pitbull, Singersroom caught up with the bilingual beauty to chat about the mainstay of Latin music, working with Chris Brown and Lloyd, and her goals to impact the music game.

Page 25: Native Tongue Magazine - Issue 4

Singersroom: You’re Cuban and Venezuelan. Is it import-ant for you to inject that part of your culture into your music?Veronica Vega: Absolutely! I feel like there isn’t somebody that’s doing it the same way, so I think it’s really important for people to know about a culture that they’re not necessarily aware of.

Singersroom: Do you sing and rap?Vega: I sing, but I do rap for fun so whenever we’re having fun and doing something creative in the studio I’ll try it out and experiment and try to come up with some re-

ally dope stuff, but my specialty is singing.

Singersroom: Because of the dual talents, how would you feel if people were to compare you to Nicki Minaj?Vega: I think that’s amazing! She definitely sets a tone for a lot of new artists because now it’s kind of like if you are a singer and you can rap it’s just a whole other lev-el, and she’s amazingly talented, so to be compared or put in the same category , to me, is just a privilege and honor.

Singersroom: From a music

standpoint, what can fans ex-pect from your upcoming proj-ect?Vega: A lot of energy! Some of the records are bilingual, and we also have, not infusions, but a lot of drum-driven and high energy. So that’s what I would say, some-thing you can definitely dance to, for sure.

Singersroom: As a new artist, what kind of impact do you want to make?Vega: Ultimately, I think at the end of the day, people will rec-ognize you for whatever the ob-vious is, or whatever they see off

Ultimately, I think at the

end of the day, people will rec-ognize you for whatever the obvious is, or whatever they see off rip, you know the visu-al, or whatever.

““

Page 26: Native Tongue Magazine - Issue 4

rip, you know the visual, or what-ever they hear. But what I’d like for people to get from me is hard work and dedication, and that ul-timately anything that you really put your mind to, you can do. So to me the most important thing as an artist is to be able to show kids and anybody who has a goal, not even a dream but just something that they want to accomplish, that it’s possible with hard work. So that’s really the biggest statement that I wanna make.

Singersroom: You’re about to film the video for “Wicked” with Pitbull. Can you tell a little sneak peek of the video con-cept?Vega: It’s really high energy. The song is really witty, Pitbull’s talking really slick. I think it’s a great combination. We’re both Cuban

and we’re both from Miami, it’s like we created a great chemistry. The video is the same, it definite-ly shows the Cuban Latin culture, not necessarily Cuban and Ven-ezuelan, but I just feel like it’s something that’s gonna be new for Americans and even people in Latin America or across the pond to be able to be like “oh wow!” to be able to be put on game about new dances and new things that we don’t necessarily do here, but are a little bit wild. So the video to me is wild and colorful.

Singersroom: When did you know music would be your pro-fessional calling?Vega: I think since the first time I ever heard a song. I think it’s just something that you feel in your veins, it’s electrifying, and it’s powerful and since the first time

I heard music, I knew I wanted to do music or be involved in music someway somehow. So I would say since was like two! (laughs)

Singersroom: You cover the Selena classic “No Me Queda Mas” on Youtube. Who else do you musically look up to?Vega: I have a lot of musical in-fluences, different influences for different reasons. I love Whitney Houston, I love Celine Dion. I’m very much influenced by Jennifer Lopez and Selena, of course. Ma-riah Carey, those are like my main girls, if I had to say girls, I really, really like them a lot.

Singersroom: Any male artists?Vega: I like a lot of male artists as well. I love Marc Anthony, I think he’s a great performer and vocal-ist, I like Carlos Santana. I like a

Page 27: Native Tongue Magazine - Issue 4

few more but right now off rip, I really, really like Marc Anthony. I look up to him. I like that he sings in both English and Spanish, I love that he’s bilingual and I think he’s super dope.

Singersroom: What artist do you listen to current-ly and why?Vega: I like to listen to Aventura a lot, they’re a Span-ish group that sings Bachata, and I play them on my Pandora a lot. I currently listening to 2 Chainz, I love 2 Chainz and Drake. I still listen to my girls, I still lis-ten to Mariah, I still listen to Celine, I still listen to Whitney, those are still my favorite things to listen to, but as far as new stuff, I would say like, dirty, grimy, more rap stuff.

Singersroom: Tell me about the new single “Wick-ed.” Did you work with Pitbull directly? If so what was that like?Vega: We did it together, he’s amazing, he’s super humble, and we understand each other really well, I’ve known him now or a while so his energy is high, he’s very creative, and he knows what he wants just as I do, so for us, it’s a no-brainer, it’s like magical for us to work together.

Singersroom: You worked with Lloyd and Chris Brown on the song “Luv Me Girl.” How did that come about?Vega: Well, I work with producer Polow the Don and Lloyd is one our label mates, so he was doing his al-bum and we were in the studio together. And Polow was like “how do you like your beat?” and then Lloyd was like “Why don’t you be on the record?” So I was like “Oh, ok!” And then they got Chris to be on the re-cord as well. So Lloyd and Polow were like “Can you be on the record?” And I was like “of course, I would love to be on the record. And so we recorded it that same night.

Singersroom: Do you see Latin music coming more into the American mainstream market?Vega: Yeah, absolutely. Especially in America be-cause there’s so many immigrants and parents that come to the United States for a better life for the American Dream so they bring their children and their children are bilingual, speak English and Spanish or at least understand Spanish so they very much ap-preciate an artist that does both, that can sing in En-glish and Spanish. For example like Aventura and his name is actually Romeo Santos and we all love him

a lot because he does both. And that’s why Marc Anthony is so dope and J. Lo.’s so dope, and Sha-kira because they give us what we know and what we know is two languages in our households. So I do think it’s gonna be a lot bigger now in the new generation.

Singersroom: What are your career goals for the next 3 years?Vega: I would pray that I have a successful first album and that people love my music and that my fans appreciate it. To me that’s the most important thing for the next three years, is to be able to focus on my music, make great music, put it out and for people to appreciate it and love it. That’s really my biggest goal is for people to love what I do and to be able to perform in different places and become the best performer I can be.

Singersroom: Do you have an album title yet?Vega: I already picked a title that I want but I think I’m gonna hold off on telling it for a little bit. I wanna make sure that everything is perfect with it before.

Five Reasons to Love the Turks and Caicos

Page 29: Native Tongue Magazine - Issue 4

This string of about 40 islands and cays is located around 575 miles southeast of Miami and is officially classified as

a British Overseas Territory. For trav-elers, the island of Providenciales or Provo, as it is known to locals, is the one that is most frequented by visi-tors, and their slogan Beautiful by Na-ture is well deserved.

This island has grown quite a bit and has become an idyllic vacation desti-nation for anyone who loves the sun, the sea and spas. For newcomers, here are the top five things to see and do:

Beaches There are eight beaches on Provo, many of which are, not surprisingly, situated at the rear of hotels and re-sorts. The Regent Palms located on Grace Bay has stunning views of the ocean. The waters here are vibrant hues of aqua, turquoise, cobalt blue, and green. You can indulge in any number of water sports including kite boarding, tubing, sailing and parasailing, or you can sit on the beach with a cool drink and do absolutely nothing.

Day Cruising The concierges at most of the ho-tel properties have good suggestions for things to do and see. The island itself covers an area of 38 miles, and depending on the time of year, you can see dolphins and whales as well as several species of birds, including egrets, herons and flamingos. The small cruising vessels are quite fun and there are spots to snorkel or just frolic in the surf.

Shopping/ Dining The downtown area of Provo is lined with shops offering designer goods as well as a nice mix of retail shops. One of the more unusual of these is Potcake Place. No, this isn’t some is-land bakery but a sanctuary for local feral dogs known as potcakes. The name comes from feeding the dogs what was left over from the evening’s cooking pot the next morning. These cute little puppies are cared for by vol-unteers with the goal of finding them homes, and you can even take one back to the U.S. in special bags that fit, believe it or not, under your air-plane seat. There is an assortment of restau-rants offering cuisine ranging from casual to fine dining. Typical island cuisine includes dishes made with fresh fish and the other local delica-

cy—conch.

Island Tour You can either rent a car or hire a taxi to explore the island. The cost for a 2-hour tour by taxi is approximately $130 for 2 people. Some of the most popular attractions are the conch farm; the ruins of the 18th century cot-ton plantation Cheshire Hall; Sapodilla Hill, where gravestones mark the rest-ing spots of shipwrecked sailors; and a natural phenomenon simply known as The Hole. To find it, just look for the rock with the hand painted The Hole. Here, you can stand on a ledge and look down 80 feet into a sinkhole that some guy found on his property. You can’t buy memories like this!

Spas The first thing people learn when coming to the islands is to slow down and relax. One of the best ways to do this is to spend some time at one of the local spas. You can do this at the Regent Spa at the Regent Palms on Grace Bay. The World Travel Awards recently honored this spa, which beat out 20 others around the globe, with the ti-tle World’s Leading Spa Resort. With treatments like the mother of pearl polish and Zareeba, an herbal steam detox and cleansing, the words pam-per me will take on new meaning. Whether you love to soak up the sun, swim or snorkel along glorious coral reefs or simply enjoy spending time in a world-class spa, the Turks and Cai-cos will deliver again and again.

Where to Stay The five star Regent Palms located on Grace Bay is one of the best hotels on the island. The ocean view suite comes with a full kitchen, top of the line furnishings and a large balcony. The views are stunning with a palm-tree lined pool and multi-hued green and aqua ocean. For more information visit: http://www.regenthotels.com/EN/Palms
