Magazine's
Origins |
| FAVOC
Magazine
is the
brainchild of Dr. Lisa Burrell. She initially
hoped to oversee a group of teens creating an online
magazine for youth of color, reflective of the ideas and
nuisances unique to them. Since her home is the
"hang- out house" (well supervised, no alcohol,
drugs or cursing allowed), she often engages in dialogue with
the youth and friends of her children. They were gung ho
about the idea when it was presented to them. Yet, once
the beginning of school neared, things got hectic for
the majority of the teens and they have not been able to
devote the time and energy to the project that it deserves as
a project just for them. Mr. Lawrence Bowie, Sr. (DSG
Inet Services, LLC, founder and owner) quickly agreed to give
the teens free internet space on one of his servers and to
assist with the leadership of the youth in the creation of the
magazine. |
|
| The
concept of a more global magazine began to unfold with adults
and teens working together. As Dr. Burrell
pondered the feasibility of a larger project, she
spoke with Mr. Bowie, again. After further analysis,
they decided to proceed with the concept of a FREE magazine
for people of color allowing the youth to be an integral part
of the magazine design and its features. All teens have
been given a pen name that they will use until they are at
least 18. This will protect their privacy. They
will use this pen name in all articles scribed by them.
|
|
| The
name FAVOC
was
finally chosen for the magazine after much discussion.
It was thrown in the pot by Mr. Bowie, after the group had
been pondering potential names for weeks. Everyone
wanted a name that was different and depicted the unique
purpose of the magazine. Yet we wanted something that
was short and catchy. We bring to you with great pride,
FACES AND VOICES OF
COLOR
Magazine,
aka,
FAVOC
Magazine. |
|
| Over
time and with corporate, group and individual advertising we
hope that the magazine can be further expanded and constantly
enhanced. Please give us regular feedback and
suggestions so we can continue to improve. We would like
to make a positive difference in in the lives of our readers.
Remember, we are venturing into something new and we
know we have a lot to learn, as well as, a lot of work to do.
Our ultimate goal is to be a positive influence and a positive
voice that stimulates thought and discussion on various
topics. |

A few very special thanks have to
be given to some individuals who helped to put this wonderful

special thank you to Mrs. Elizabeth T. Burrell. A
special thanks to our teen writers, Pocahontas, Candy, Chaybri,
