When I first told people I was going to Cuba for a whole month I got mixed reactions: From my friends who knew my hot foot well "Oh wow, awesome, take lots of pics!" I've always had this deep desire to go to Cuba; it was always high on my bucket list. And it's not like I knew the history in full detail. I knew mojitos, classic cars, Hemingway, cigars, Castro and the movie Bad Boys ending in Guantanamo. But the desire to go remained strong. Over the years too, my friends tried encouraging me to write a blog so they could follow my travels around the world. I had no time for that.

For CEM's October-November Issue, one of our Editor in Chief Sharlisa Peterson sat down with Clifford “Mr. Vegas” Smith to have an "one and one" THE MAN OF THE HOUR, otherwise known as the climax of the night, Clifford “Mr. Vegas” Smith (dressed uber casual in an Armani exchange Tee and semi-slack stonewash jeans) took over Brooklyn, New York. His performance that night revealed many facets of his character. Of course we were familiar with his ‘give it all you got’ thunderclap and the women, positioning themselves inches away to catch a 4-D experience of a sexy and mischievous yet playful gyration of ‘turned up’ Vegas waiting to further mash up yet another stage for the night. You could also tell about his musical side as he paid tribute to fellow industry legend BUJU BANTON sings his hits Driver and of course REAL LOVE ( I wanna be loved not for who you think I am nor who you want me to be …REAL LOVE. To cross genre hits, especially Soca from fellow Caribbean artists Rupee, Destra Garcia and JW & Blaze. He also shows his unmediated kindness to his fans, as he swats away a hand of a rude audience member as they lifted up a volunteer dancers shirt as she was ‘brukkin it down’.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month which began in 1985 in an effort to increase concern for breast health issues and spread the importance of early cancer detection. Breast cancer is one of the leading causes of death among women, second only to skin cancer. Therefore, it is important to educate women on the risk factors and causes of breast cancer, as well as possible preventative measures and annual mammography screening for women over 40. Early detection is the key to survive breast cancer. Women in the high risk group must go for breast screening tests after 30 years of age.
