The Millennial Generation consumes music differently than their parents and grandparents. Working with a variety of partners, we have developed a series centered on this evolving musical lifestyle. Over the short horizon, we have plans to pitch the series to a major network that has expressed some interest in the project.
Many of the elements of the project are proprietary, so I am not going to share much beyond this. However, we have secured 5 unique personalities to be a part of the show.
We have established a page to post the progress of this project at:

Crisis and Courage - - (A Stage-play for the Cause of Sickle Cell Anemia)
My wife, Dr. La'Veda Wallace-Page, has Sickle Cell Anemia. For most of our time together, she was private and did not like to publicly share her struggle with this debilitating disease. However, after several conversations with Dr. Abdullah Kutlar, the Director of the Sickle Cell Center for Georgia Regents University, she decided to step forward and be a voice.Since that time, she has done several speaking engagements, performed a one-woman show based on her experiences, and has developed a grass-roots campaign for awareness.
To further our advocacy efforts, we have also developed a full-length stage play that will be used to call attention to the many people who struggle. The show is expected to be presented in a variety of settings throughout the country in 2014 and 2015.
A documentary about those living with sickle cell anemia and those who support them is also part of this project.

In her book, DawnAngela Mickens takes you on a journey of discovery. A discovery of self! Finding herself unemployed after a successful 20-year career in the real estate industry she was upset and frustrated. She had absolutely no sense of “DawnAngela”. She’d lost her identity! There had to be a transformation. It is the result of the self-discovery that prompted DawnAngela to pursue modeling and then author the book: Timeless Rebel: Empowered to Pursue the Dreams Within. By defying time, she became “Timeless” and by rejecting society's expectations, she became a “Rebel”.
Whether you are in a place of uncertainty, panic-stricken, or a richly satisfied woman, this book is for you! No matter who you are or where you may find yourself in life, it is never too late to pursue a dream.
In this book it is her sole desire to Empower – Motivate- Encourage – Inspire
