In October, a man came into the bookstore to drop off a stack of magazine mock-ups. His business card read Kurt Walker, Native Magazine, Publisher. I told him that I do a bit of writing for Charleston Magazine and he went on to tell me all about Native, his African-American Charleston Culture Magazine that he was starting up with his friend and editor, Deona Smith. A short while later, I sent him some of my clips and he passed them along to Deona. She liked my work and after interviewing me and sharing her vision for the magazine, she gave me two assignments: world-renowned artist, Jonathan Green and heart-pounding Adande African Dance Company. Today she sent me the online preview of the issue and I couldn't be more excited! A daunting thing it is to launch into catty, cliquey Charleston print media, but by the looks of it, Native is doing it with a surefire niche and incredible style!
