It’s All About Our Image!
My name is Richarh Aswanu AKA Daddy Rich. I am the CEO and founder here at Urban Image Magazine and GangstatLit. I am the originator of the new brand of Urban Fiction called GangstatLit. I have my own style that separates me from other authors. I’m not limited by industry standards. I make my own rules; I write how I wanna write. Gangsta Lit is mine…
Writing is not a phase in my life, it defines who I am. I write straight from life experiences. I’m a man on a mission. I want my freedom! This is why I write! I have been locked down for 7 years but have published 3 books thus far.
I created Urban Image to serve as a publication you can be proud of. It is our aim to dissolve the negative stereotypes associated with the “Urban Community”. We will inform, educate, entertain and inspire our readers.
In addition to providing you with thought provoking content, Urban Image Magazine will showcase talents who haven’t had the opportunity to reach mainstream media outlets. Urban Image Magazine was founded as a life changing movement for all that are involved in our mission. We are a stage for those without a platform to have a spotlight. Published to be accessible online, this magazine is designed to serve as a catalyst to success, a place where you can network with like-minded people who are in pursuit of their dreams.
I’m trying to connect with all my friends, family and fans. Write me and I’ll write you back. All that I ask is that you enclose a self-addressed ink stamped envelope. You can’t send stamps they have to be the envelopes with the printed stamp on it. I can’t wait to hear from you.

Hello, my name is Denetra Queen GangstaLit Key or better known as D Queen. As I’m sure you all can tell I am not a blogger. I am actually a nurse of 15 years and a mother of three and the Vice President here at Urban Image Magazine. I also am our magazine layout designer… so I hope you enjoy my art.
There are some topics that arise in life that strike a cord with me and I will comment on those issues. My blog is to shed light on issues that are dear to my heart! I apologize in advance if I offend. But my blogs are based on my opinion. Our opinions reflect that we are individual children of God. One promise I can make is that I will report on the topics of my choice in as accurate fashion as I can. I welcome you to leave your comments good or bad in regards to blogs. I actually appreciate it! Your views give me insight.
Thank you for visiting our page. While you’re here, please take the time to browse around and look at our mag. It’s gorgeous. I did the layout myself and am quite proud of it! Thanks again and God Bless!
Peace and Love,
Denetra Key

Nikki G is an entrepreneur, journalist, blogger and the author of A Little Bit of Sin available locally and also online at http://www.alittlebitofsin.com.
Deszion Amani Nasir was born in raised in Hampton, VA, where she penned her first novel in the 6th grade when her simple ideas were read by others and she was told “Wow… this is good. You should be a writer.” The light bulb clicked on and never turned off.
Fast forward to 2012. Nasir debuted her first novel, “Untrust,” the strange tale of an unusual set of twins with no family, yet more family drama than one’s ever deem possible. Death, chaos and destruction would be their inheritance. Then a short was released, “Dragonflies & Demons,” part one of a short series about a couple stuck in a vicious cycle of domestic violence that blurs the lines between victim and abuser. After that, the follow-up of “Untrust” entitled “Wicked Blues,” dropped in November. Return to the past to see how the curse that hung over the twins’ heads began.
She is currently writing her first paranormal/sci-fi novel, “Sariah,” which is due to be released in the Spring. This is a tale of a unique girl with telekinesis and in inability to fully control it or the consequences that come with it. This excitingly eerie novel will come out in the Spring. Nasir is currently in the works to drop an Anthology with two other authors that will be released in June. The next installment to her series, Uncommon Devil, will be released in the Fall.
Her writing is edgy, dark and twisted, and she enjoys taking her readers to a place that evokes emotions, be they rage, shock, sadness or happiness, because this tells her that she’s attained her goal in reaching into her reader’s world and pulling them into her eccentric one.

We are extremely fortunate here at UIM to have many dedicated and hard working people as part of our blogging staff. Together, we will attempt to bring you a full and complete image of who we are, because “Image Is Everything”.
We will reflect on ALL ASPECTS of urban life, both the negatives and the positives. We will have articles discussing what’s going on in the entertainment world, the hip-hop community, and your community. But we will also provide articles of upliftment, empowerment, financial investment & planning, and more. Articles and stories about people who have come through on the other side, and are still here to share their stories.
