After more than two decades in the industry, Jennifer Sears isn’t chasing the moment,she’s finally living in it. For some, success arrives quickly. For others, it unfolds slowly, deliberately, shaped by years of unseen work. For Sears, the journey has been one of patience, faith, and unwavering commitment to her craft. Now, as a series regular on Tyler Perry’s Divorced Sistas, she’s stepping into a chapter that feels both earned and divinely timed. Words/Editor In Chief Angel Neal @angel_stylistbehavior Photographer Marie Thomas @mariethomas505 Wardrobe Stylist: Jimmy Hawkins (@CostumeJimmy) Hair Stylist: Rasheena Brooks (@rasheenabrooks) Makeup Artist: Yanick-Nikita Lunford (@yanikbeaute) Location Booker: LavishLeeStyled (@lavishleestyled) “This chapter in my life has been a long time coming,” she shares. “You work so hard and tirelessly on your career, and the progress can feel slow based on your own timelines. But God’s timing is always perfect. Now, after 20 years in the industry, I’m finally starting to see the fruits of my labor.” There’s no bitterness in her reflection, only gratitude. Every role, every “no,” every delay was, in her words, preparation. And now, the reward isn’t just visibility, it's alignment. Taking on the role of Bridgette in Divorced Sistas isn’t just another credit, it's a weight Sears carries with intention.“A lot of responsibility,” she says plainly. “You see that the success or failure of the show could rest heavily on your shoulders. I take that responsibility very seriously.” Working within the fast paced world of Tyler Perry Studios, where actors often tackle upwards of 100 pages a day has only sharpened her discipline. But speed alone isn’t the challenge. It’s maintaining truth in the performance. “You’re either going to sink or swim,” she says. “And I’m so grateful that I’m swimming.” Bridgette is bold, witty, and emotionally layered, a character that allows Sears to stretch while still pulling from her own instincts. Much of Bridgette‘s humor, she reveals, is her own.“A lot of her one liners and comebacks, they’re all improv,” she says. “I’m grateful Tyler gives me the creative liberty to do that.” But where Bridgette challenges her is deeper, especially in the character’s struggle with boundaries.“She’s bold, but when it comes to reinforcing healthy boundaries, the girl is lacking,” Sears admits. It’s a tension many women recognize and one that makes Bridgette story resonate so strongly with audiences. At its core, Divorced Sistas is about love, friendship, and the messy, often painful reality of both. And according to Sears, that’s exactly why it’s connecting.“These are human stories,” she explains. “No matter where you come from, we all can relate to struggling in love, or having fallouts with friends.”The series doesn’t shy away from conflict or complexity, it leans into it. And in doing so, it offers something rare: reflection. “A lot of the audience can see themselves in each of the women,” she says. “You start to empathize with them, you see their humanity.” Off-screen, Sears brings that same honesty to conversations around relationships and personal growth especially for women navigating transition. “I really hope women learn to choose themselves,” she says. “Know that they’re worthy of receiving love, and it starts with selflove.” Speaking from her own experience as a divorcee, she doesn’t romanticize healing, she tells the truth about it. Therapy, self reflection, and unlearning patterns all played a role in her journey. “You can’t fix someone,” she says. “They have to want to change for themselves.” It’s a message that echoes beyond the screen, one rooted in lived experience, not just performance. Sears has also used her platform to speak openly about her battle with endometriosis, a condition she describes as both invisible and often misunderstood.“It’s not spoken about enough,” she says. “By the time mine was caught, it was already stage four.” Her story is one of misdiagnosis, dismissal, and ultimately, survival. But instead of retreating, she chose to speak out to raise awareness and push for change in how women’s health is taken seriously. “Why do we have to almost lose our lives for our health to be taken seriously?” she asks. For Sears, advocacy isn’t separate from her artistry,it’s part of it. Black stories have too often been reduced to stereotypes, Sears is intentional about the narratives she helps bring to life.“Telling Black stories is extremely important to me,” she says. “We’re not monolithic.” That commitment shows up in the details from performance choices to collaborations with hair and wardrobe.“It’s about making sure we’re telling these stories truthfully,” she explains. “Even down to the small things, the nuances matter.” Because for Sears, representation isn’t just about being seen, it’s about being seen accurately. Jennifer Sears’ story isn’t one of overnight success. It’s one of endurance, evolution, and faith. Every role, every lesson, every setback has led her here, fully prepared for the moment she once prayed for.And now that she’s in it, she’s not just performing, she’s purposefully shaping the narrative. Because for Jennifer Sears, this isn’t just a breakthrough. It’s a beginning, right on time. I believe we can learn and take inspiration from her story, her time here and ladies and gentleman as a fan myself, it's well overdue.

We all know beauty trends move at the speed of a scroll, few artists understand the power of restraint, precision, and personalization quite like JaQuitta. As a celebrity eyebrow technician, she has carved out a lane rooted not in hype, but in mastery. Her work doesn’t just transform faces; it reframes confidence. Words: Editor In Chief: Angel Neal Photograph Courtesy of JaQuitta JaQuitta’s entry into the beauty space wasn’t accidental, it was intuitive. Drawn to detail and the subtle shifts that define a look, she quickly recognized the impact of brows as the anchor of the face. “Brows, in particular, stood out to me because they frame the entire face,” she explains. “Once I began working with clients and saw the confidence shift. I knew this was where I was meant to be.” What started as a skill soon revealed itself as purpose. “It became clear that this was more than beauty, it was about helping people feel like the best version of themselves.” That philosophy is evident in every client she touches. In an era dominated by fleeting trends, JaQuitta remains committed to individuality. Rather than replicating viral brow shapes, her process is deeply tailored. “I focus on bone structure, facial symmetry, and natural growth patterns rather than trends,” she says. “Every brow I create is customized and mapped specifically to enhance my client’s unique features.” The result is a look that feels effortless, yet intentionally timeless over trendy. Working with high-profile clientele requires a nuanced approach, one that balances evolution with identity. For JaQuitta, it’s about refinement, not reinvention. “My priority is preserving what makes my client recognizable while refining and elevating their look,” she shares. “Evolution doesn’t have to be dramatic it can be as subtle as softening the brow, adjusting tone, or enhancing dimension.” It’s this attention to detail that keeps her clients current without compromising what makes them them. Of course, not all brow journeys begin on the right foot. When asked about the most common mistake she sees, her answer is immediate: over-tweezing. “It disrupts the natural shape and can lead to long-term thinning that’s difficult to correct,” she notes. Her advice is simple but critical, trust the process, and more importantly, trust a professional. While beauty standards continue to evolve, JaQuitta’s work remains grounded in principles that outlast any trend cycle. “I stay informed, but I don’t allow trends to dictate my work,” she says. Instead, she leans into balance, proportion, and softness elements that ensure her artistry remains both relevant and enduring. Her definition of the “perfect brow” has also matured over time. What once centered on precision has softened into something more dimensional and real. “To me, a perfect brow is one that enhances the face without overpowering it,” she explains. “It should look effortless, soft, and natural.” It’s a reflection of where beauty itself is headed away from rigidity, and toward authenticity. But beyond technique, JaQuitta’s work is deeply emotional. At its core, it’s about confidence. “Brows may seem like a small detail, but they have a powerful impact on how someone presents themselves,” she says. Whether a client wants to feel bold, refined, or understated, her role is to bring that vision to life. “It’s about enhancing not just their features, but their self expression.”For those looking to follow in her footsteps, JaQuitta is clear: excellence is the baseline. “Mastery and consistency are non-negotiable,” she says. But skill alone isn’t enough. Building a high-end clientele requires intention from professionalism to the overall experience. “A loyal, high-end clientele is built on trust, and that comes from consistently exceeding expectations.” In a world chasing the next beauty trend, JaQuitta stands firmly in her craft proving that true artistry isn’t about keeping up, but about setting a standard.

Shamar McCoy, known to fans as Big Marco, has never asked for permission to take up space. The Atlanta born viral sensation built his name the only way he knows how: loudly, honestly, and without compromise. What started as spontaneous videos,dancing, joking, and speaking his truth quickly evolved into a cultural presence that refuses to be boxed in. Now stepping into new territory, from viral content to music, reality television, and live performances Big Marco is proving that authenticity isn’t just a personality trait, it’s a strategy. And when Cardi B called him to the stage during her Atlanta tour stop, it wasn’t just a moment, it was confirmation. Words/Editor In Chief: Angel Neal Styled by Dorian Jihad Assisted by Nyhiem Hearts Photos by J.t.Photography (Jaelen Felton) PR - Rocki Patrice Manager/Set Assistance - Alex Huncho Outfits - Cult of individuality Because for Big Marco, every stage, every post, every opportunity carries intention even when it looks effortless. “I just want to give it my all because my fans deserve it all,” he says. “And I just want to make it count.” Raised in Atlanta’s Mechanicville neighborhood, his journey hasn’t been linear. From personal loss to homelessness, Big Marco’s story is layered with challenges that could have easily silenced him, but instead became fuel. His presence today is not just about entertainment; it’s about visibility, resilience, and showing others that imperfection can be power.“I am who I am. I can’t change that and honestly, I wouldn’t,” he shares. “My disability isn’t an inability.”That mindset has carried him from viral TikTok moments to collaborations in music, including “Clock Dat” with Fendi Da Rapper and onto platforms like Zeus Network, where his personality remains just as unfiltered as his content.The “Shamar effect,” as he calls it, is simple: be yourself at all levels. And people are watching. Not because he’s trying to fit into the industry but because he’s redefining how to exist in it. Before the Interview Shamar “Big Marco” McCoy sits down with Disrupshion Magazine to talk viral moments, real life resilience, and what it means to show up as yourself every single time. On stepping onto a major stage:“Have fun, enjoy, and don’t mess up. On every stage I touch, I just want to give it my all because my fans deserve it all, and I just want to make it count.” On being recognized by Cardi B:“It feels like I made it when she gave that spotlight. Cardi B has supported me publicly before, but that was my first time hearing it directly from her. It’s not every day that an icon celebrates you, and it was that moment that I knew more of these moments would happen.” On the “Shamar effect”:“I feel like the Shamar effect is just that being yourself at all levels. I’ve never tried to be politically correct or copy anyone else. I just be me, and that’s constantly changing because I’m constantly growing.” On his content:“The content I post is without intent, with no real purpose besides speaking my truth. I am intentional about my brand and what I stand for, like all brands. But when I’m live, it’s just the unfiltered me.” On resilience:“When things get tough, reflecting on my past and where I came from losing my mom, being homeless, thoughts of suicide but seeing that it all was for a purpose and that things can get better. I’ve created fans that love me, and they don’t play about me.” On identity and confidence:“I am who I am. I can’t change that, and honestly wouldn’t. I wouldn’t be me without the imperfections the world may see. My disability isn’t an inability.” On going viral:“I realized when I was 20 years old, my first video that went viral was when I said, ‘That b*tch said she gone punch me in my face,’ and it went crazy. That’s when I knew they was watching ya boy.” On Atlanta:“I love my city. Atlanta don’t care about no celebs everybody is somebody. To know I’m a part of the legacy of such a great city lets me know I was born for greatness.” On reality TV and Zeus Network:“I love reality TV, but I prefer to do it my way because I’m me. Nobody can script or filter me.” On music:“I’ve been doing music. ‘Clock Dat’ is a song I’m featured on with my girl Fendi Da Rapper. When we made it, I knew instantly the world was going to love it.” On what he wants people to feel:“I hope they feel that joy and happiness. Regardless of what you’re going through, it will get better.” On balance:“It’s a strict program over here, but I also like to have fun, playing the game and being with my friends.” On standing out:“Be yourself, nobody can be you better than you.” On impact:“I’m not trying to change anything besides showing others like me that if I can, so can you.” On authenticity:“I never felt pressured to be anything outside of Shamar, staying authentic does not require effort.” On what’s next:“What’s next is everything, more music, new TV shows, film, bigger stages. I want it all. Clock it, it’s Big Marco.”
