Message from the Editor In Chief:

It is my immense pleasure to welcome you and present our monthly newsletter. I am so grateful to YOU for

taking the time read and get to know more about Women of Concern Professionals Strategic Con-

sciousness Networking; what we do and how we do it.

I started this journey with our founder Loretta Green-Williams as a quiet member on LinkedIn in December

2009. I may have been among the first to join the LinkedIn group. Loretta and I quickly became supporters

of one another groups rather more than supporters but active participates. We have never meet face-to-

face but we have logged our fair share of hours in brainstorming and planning; sharing and caring and plain

old sistah talk on the phone.

As I observed Loretta’s tenacity in developing WOCPSCN and many other projects, I soon recognized this

woman is a force to be reckoned with. She is a devoted mother, sister-friend, businesswoman and activist

most certainly but above all she is devoted daughter of Zion ever-ready to be about the Father’s business.

Though, it took me a moment to come to the realization that I have a larger task to perform in regards to the

mission and vision that has been entrusted to Loretta, I got to tell ya; I am on FIRE NOW! I am so excited

about the road ahead. I have wholeheartedly put my hand to the plow and there is no turning back.

Let me also share with you in my capacity as President of the new formed NY-Eastern Regional Chapter, I

have penned my 2013 Strategic Planning and it blows my mind. I got a download from heaven and rest as-

sure the assignment will be completed because it is not about me or us but all about what the Master has

already predestined for us to do. I’ll let you get a peek: it includes expanding media platforms, wellness and

a major National Conference in 2015 here in NYC. You know as soon as we accept the call and assume

the posture of servants; God aligns, orders and presents with seal of approval that makes men take note

and begin to finance the vision.—Oh believe it.

As you read and enjoy the pages herein, keep us in prayer as we do you and remember to make decisions

that affect change.

Williams is a petite dynamo who

energy knows little to no bounds.

She constantly thinking, moving

edge and intellect possessed by

Green-Williams is an endow-

ment from the Almighty Himself

and because He called and pre-

destine her to greatness no

weapon formed against was able

to prosper. She has authored her

memoirs and details how she

survived generational domestic

violence and abuse. The murder

and tragic murder of her younger

daughter further propelled her

into her divine destiny as a

woman to reckoned with on the

frontlines of Domestic Violence.

Green-Williams is the visionary

and the foundation of Women of

Concern Professionals Strategic

Consciousness Networking. It is

her marketing ingenuity that

has propelled and perpetuated

the growth trajectory of

the organization. She

has aided each Re-

gional President in the

implementation their chapter in

a fashion that cohesively em-

braces the mission, construct

WOCPSCN MEDIA

Filmmakers, Directors, Producers & New Media Content Creation

As the NY-Eastern Regional Chap-

ter’s President Jasmin Farnum as-

sume her position, she realized the

enormous benefits of using her MBA

in Media Management to enhance

WOCPSCN media platforms and

reach. There is so much to be said

about advertising and marketing but

to truly understand the economic pur-

chasing power that came along with

being a women’s organization with a

global reach was truly an opportunity

the Ms. Farnum dare not overlook.

Part of her mission is to utilize her

skill sets in filmmaking and produc-

ing to broaden WOCPSCN appeal to

marketers, advertisers and sponsors.

WOCPSCN organization already con-

sist of members, like Farnum, we

have Dana Verde, Dr. Gail P. Meyers,

Rosalyn M. Rambert, and Susan

Johnston who are already in Media

Industry, so the move is pivotal.

L i g h t s ! C a m e r a s ! A C T I O N !

WOCPSCN is turning heads, taking

names and numbers for that matter.

It is quickly becoming a known fact

that WOCP/RADIO/TV-Filmmakers,

of Free Speech Television, Webcasting

of creating media content through

Truth be told women represent a

growing number of professionals and

business owners in the United States

as such we control significant eco-

This essentially means “she who con-

trol the purse rules the world.” Unfor-

tunately, this alone is not enough for

women today. We are still paid less

than our male counterparts and yield

less of return of on our investments

compared to men in similar indus-

tries. Why?

We may want to take note of come-

dian Steve Harvey’s book/film “Act

Like a Lady-Think like a Man” when

it comes to this new economy of busi-

ness. Why should there be any dis-

crepancies when expert research indi-
