Yes... I kno. It's been like 5 years since I posted on this thing. And if it weren't for my awesome friend Erica reminding me that it was here, it may have been another 5 yrs. LOL.
A lot has happened since we last spoke. The OHHS Class of 2002 5-Year Reunion was a MAJOR success. Over 150 classmates came out to reminisce and reconnect. Definitely a beautiful thing. Special thanks to Danisha Thomas with
Warm Spirit,
Body Talk LLC, and
Capital Vixen Enterprises for making everything possible. Sponsors are WONDERFUL! Pics coming soon...
ARG also partnered with
Dream Team, LLC to bring pro skateboarder, Stevie Williams, to the Nations Capital on July 14, 2007. Hip Hop clothing boutique
Palace 5ive was transformed into a DGK haven. Special thanks to
Scheme Magazine (check out the
interview that ARG securred) and the
Washington Post for covering the event. Stevie was REALLY impressed with how we did it in the D dot C dot!
Hmmm... lets see, what else is going on??? ARG was hired to do the PR for a benefit concert featuring Raheem DeVaughn, sponsored by
United Vision Consulting Group. Coverage for that event included DC Style Magazine, Upscale Magazine Online, and The Hilltop Magazine (Howard University).
I've attached a few of the press releases and pics below. Feel free to check 'em out.
I promise to be more proactive with keeping up with this blog. Blame it on my mind... not my heart. God bless!

MEDIA ADVISORY
UNITED VISION CONSULTING GROUP PRESENTS “BRINGING LOVE BACK TO THE STREETS” featuring RAHEEM DEVAUGHN
Raheem Devaughn performing in concert benefiting the Friends of Stanton Center to be held June 30, 2007
WHO: Raheem Devaughn & SMUV featuring Art Sherrod, Jr.
WHAT: “Bringing Love Back to the Streets”
WHEN: June 30, 2007, 8:00pm
WHERE: Maryland Hall for the Creative Arts in Annapolis, MD
On June 30, 2007, United Vision Consulting Group, LLC will present A Vision of Love: Bringing Love Back to the Streets at Maryland Hall for the Creative Arts in Annapolis, Maryland. The purpose of this charitable event, which will feature Jive recording artist Raheem DeVaughn, is to invigorate positive energy within the Annapolis urban community.
Over the past few months, Annapolis has experienced disenfranchisement in the community, as the schools have been plagued with an increase in fights and violence aggravated by tension between the Annapolis neighborhoods. United Vision is looking to kick off the summer with an uplifting event that will fill the void of love and unification in the Annapolis community.
A partial donation of the proceeds raised will be made to the Friends of Stanton, a non-profit organization that supports the Stanton Community Center in Annapolis. The Stanton Community Center is a historic site that has an emphatic presence for improving the quality of life in Annapolis and provides many services, including an after school program, recreational facilities, technology services, counseling services and a safe haven to residents of Annapolis.
The donation to the Friends of Stanton Center will be made in the memory of LaRon Cephas, former Final Four attendee, who passed unexpectedly in early April at the age of 29. Mr. Cephas’ death was a tragic loss to the Annapolis Community as he served as the Athletic Director at the Boys & Girls Club in Annapolis. During his brief tenure at the Boys & Girls Club, he touched many young lives as many looked to him as a positive example of following your dreams and giving back along the way.
For more information, please contact United Vision Consulting Group, LLC at 410-202-7717 or email info@uvisionco.com.
