Kris Summers AKA Madgalkris
Kris Summers, famously known as madgalkris, is a professional Model, musical artist, and entrepreneur. I came a long way thought the years but with the good there came the bad. If it wasn’t for my several encounters with the law I wouldn’t be where I am today. Not that they were good in anyway, but they were learning lessons that led me in a good positions. I was just about 18 when I was a college student and working a 9-5 job. I was locked up in jail. Once I got out I ad no job and was extremely worried about what to do next. I then eventually got a club job where I was able to make a lot of connections with celebs and popular people in the city. From working in the club for two years I was then offered music video jobs to be a guest appearance, I was asked to model for popular clothing brands. My uniqueness on instagram went viral and I became a influencer that a lot of the younger crowd looked up too. I launched my own waist shaping company that allowed me tome over 8 figures. I became a entrepreneur and my own boss at the same.

Many people who want a successful career, whether they are fresh entrepreneurs or not, are looking for tips and mentoring which would accelerate their achievements. In order to develop some leadership skills or to implement new strategies, entrepreneurs need to invest either in mentorship or to form a team which they could develop these skills with. Speaking subjectively, change and improvement require either investment, time or both.

Meet The Beautiful Nollywood Actress Who Lost One Of Her Legs.
This story will move you. Some of the best types of stories I like to read are stories of resilience, of strength, of people who have had horrible things happen to them but still found a way to rise above it. Stories like this I tend to find very empowering and although sometimes, in fact a lot of times, they are heartbreaking stories, the strength of these people is just so encouraging you can’t help but be moved.

The Power Of Creativity: Mark Rober
The late 21' st century has witnessed a technological gold rush of astonishing proportions: the headlong and strenuous haste to dominate the online world. This enterprise has proceeded so rapidly that in just a few years, the concept of 'website' has transferred from being a mere database of information, codified in basic HTML, to being a dynamic environment; fast and continuously evolving.

Is it on?
Is it on? BABY, when I tell you T.S Madison is the truth, and will continue to be the truth for all generations to come. Whether she’s rocking 22-inches, or rocking her crown on the “Queens Supreme Court” T.S is authentic to herself, and unapologetic about it. When I first was introduced to T.S Madison (on YouTube), it truly was a “need a snickers moment”, moment. There is a “Je ne sais quoi” factor about her. I say that with the upmost regard, because you truly don’t know what she’s going to do next. She is constantly reinventing herself, whether it’s being on her own channel, making guest appearances with Rupaul, or advocating for trans rights. Her delivery is SAVAGE! Brutal at times, but honest. She is passionate about her community, and it shows.

Leaving a legacy.
Chadwick Boseman left a legacy of kindness. He was fighting a battle no one knew about but still continued to be a hero even off the screen. I always think to myself what can I do daily to make the world a better place. Can I write a blog post to help someone through a difficult time? Can I spread the knowledge of what I know in my podcast to let the person who needs to hear it actually hear it? I think the thing that we forget that Chadwick never forgot, is to just go through the day in hopes that it helps someone and not even thinking too much about it. He helped people, yes. But did he gloat about it? Did he wake up everyday thinking about it? No, he just did it. He was just a kind person, a helping hand and someone who never wanted credit because thats what we should all do. We should never want credit, we should just do it because we are decent humans. Decency goes a long way..

Dear Black Athletes & Entertainers: You Are Healers.
Last week Sunday August 23rd, a 29-year-old man by the name of Jacob Blake was shot in the back 7 times by a police officer in Kenosha, Wisconsin. He was shot in front of his three small children who were in the car. The latest shooting of an unarmed black person by police triggered a rash of protests across the nation. The NBA,which had just restarted its league in "bubbles" located in Orlando, FL stopped all games for several days as the players struck in protest of the continued police brutality towards the Black community. There were confirmed reports that a lot of players came very close to leaving the bubble to return home and join the fight on the ground for equality and social justice. There was a palpable heaviness in the air, and between the racial and political tensions stoked by a racist presidential administration with the backdrop of the coronavirus, the energy was at a very low point. Then Chadwick Boseman, our beloved colloquial King, passed away on the Friday and it seemed to be the straw that broke the camel's back.
