Dear Readers, Thank you so much for your support of R.A.P. [Recognizing and Accepting my Purpose] Magazine! Our lives are nothing to play with and that is something that we definitely have to recognize and accept daily. We are all on this journey called life together whether we like it or not. It is time now more than ever for us all to come together and use our voices, share our experiences, and help further one another through that process. There is a purpose on your life, a reason why you were created, and it is up to you to figure out what that purpose is. If purpose is established [recognized and accepted] by counsel you’ve got to talk that thing out or in this case r.a.p. about it! Every person sharing in this issue lent their voice, shared their expertise, or their purpose in order to help you reach yours! Enjoy and God bless! De’Junae Johnson, Publisher & Editor
