What’s this all about?
This blog will be a place for me to blog about my experiences as an entrepreneur and an editor. Here you will find publishing industry news and tips on what it takes to start a magazine.
I am the Editor and Founder of Dialect Magazine, founded in 2004 and semi-launched in 2009. This is still a journey for me in the beginning stages so you can come along for the ride and learn what it takes to juggle entrepreneurship, a regular 9-5 career, school, and more!
Like most of you, I have big dreams and am trying to figure out the best formula to make it happen.
Subscribe to this blog to stay in the know as I share photos and stories of my personal journey as an editor.

The execution of Troy Davis
I’ve been hearing about the execution of Troy Davis, off and on, this week. I’d never heard of this man before and I say this with sadness. It’s time to focus on my passion for real journalism and start paying attention to what’s going on around me more often.
Life has been hectic as the editor of Dialect Magazine, so when the stories find me, it’s easy to slip into a state of satisfaction. Although letting the stories find me is all good, I also want to be more proactive and seek out the stories that will add that extra element of grit, fresh perspectives, and real news to the SocioPolitical section of Dialect Magazine. I want you - the reader- to use Dialect Magazine as your one stop shop for global news, so you are equipped with resourceful information and remain well-rounded.
This is a lesson - a lesson learned.
Until then,

My Top 5 Cappuccino Spots in NY (right now)
As an entrepreneur, it’s important to reward yourself a little each day. There are so many ways to do this: some are free, others require some dough.
A small way that I treat myself is with coffee. I love coffee with leche! I’ve been increasingly loyal to cappuccino - it’s liquid dessert. I can’t say that coffee does anything for me as far as keeping me alert but, for some reason, I gravitate to one of my fave cafes almost every morning to get my day started.
My current top 5 NY spots for cappuccino are:
5. Starbucks
4. Joe The Art of Coffee
3. Crumbs
2. Cafe Galet - a small french cafe in midtown east. It’s small and cute. Cappuccinos are delicious. I recommend having a macaron. They’re 2.50 each and worth every bite.
1. Pret A Manger - Once you go Pret, you’ll measure all other cappuccinos against theirs. That will be the standard you use. It’s that good.
I HEART CAPPUCCINO
I also recommend Teeccino herbal coffee. It’s Naturally caffeine-free and non-acidic and tastes great. They have a variety of flavors. And the added benefit is you can save money by making your own special coffee.
Until then,
