No Shame With Shanda Freeman

From being a writer to a full-figure fashionista, Shanda Freeman is making sure her voice is heard to let women know to speak up and for men to speak out.

Growing up Freeman grew an interest in learning about intimacy and human interaction as a child. She watched her mother have great relationships with friends and family and it allowed her to eventually be open to talk to her about intimate relationships. She became pregnant as a teen, but it still helped her to mature fast enough to really understand responsibility in sexual behaviors and later became a Case Manager for HIV/AIDS in her early 30's.

In 2014, she combined her knowledge of relationships and her passion for writing with her book, A Pro Man Woman. She digs deep into really grasping the concept of acknowledging the male opinion in which she also expresses in her youtube videos. Freeman feels that the ideas and opinions that men have to say are just as important and insightful as women's opinions, but are often time overlooked. One of the things that Freeman still notices as an ongoing issue in relationships is communication.
As a Relationship Expert, something that she notices in heterosexual relationships is that men tend to feel guilty about being separate, and women complain about their man not spending enough time with them. She educates couples with those issues, that it is important that whether you are dating or married, that you still maintain a sense of individuality which will eventually lead to quality time with your significant other. Therefore, a man should be able to voice when he needs his space to maybe to have a hobby or hang out with friends and women should respect it and have her own set of friends, hobbies, and really value "me" time.
With homosexual couples, she feels that they have similar issues, but are able to handle them better and would also advise that any type of couple should have what she calls a "State Of The Union" quality time. She basically means that couples should find some down time to go over what they would like to do more of or discuss what each person can improve, etc.

On the plus side, Freeman also is a proud advocate for curvy women such as Ashley Graham and Hunter McGrady and feels that designers should take more consideration in including curvy women on runways and have a wide variety of sizes. She has noticed that curvy women are starting to be more embraced and women desire more hips and butt versus what women wanted 30 years ago.

Freeman plans on moving forward by going back into the TV business by being a producer and hopefully collaborating with BET and VH1. On top of that, she is still very active with her youtube channel: shandasays where she makes videos about relationships, sexuality and fashion tips.

Erin Moran: New Details Emerge About Troubled Life Of ‘Happy Days’ Star ...

From Rejoice To Soulful Voice-Chris Voice Is Turning The Tables On R&B

R&B Singer and 1/4 member of the group, Hamilton Park, Chris Voice is set to challenger the music industry with his soulful swag and passion for great music.

Voice first found a love for music as a child when his grandma introduced him to church. She knew he had a gift inside of him that lead him to get the gift of a happy meal after he would sing. As he got older, he looked up to someone like Sisqo as far as artist creativity and taking music to a different direction. After Voice realized his own talent and potential as an artist, it would eventually lead to a career with an Atlanta supergroup, Hamilton Park, whom in which all four members are inspired by power groups/artists such as Dru Hill, Jagged Edge, Babyface, Donell Jones, Jodeci, etc.

Chris Voice is known as the "lover" of the group because of his soulful spirit and the strong emotional connection he has to his sound. He as well as his members call themselves the Love Connoisseurs because of their strong understand of love and the power that R&B music has that some might say has fizzled out. "R&B is love," said Voice, who feels that expressing R&B in a very tasteful and mature will really demonstrate the idea of courtship in which Hamilton Park displayed in their 2011 mixtape, "We Do It For The Sheets." They feel as though chivalry is not dead, it's just simply not talked about.

While still being heavily involved and devoted to his group, Voice tried his own avenue with his own mixtapes. He released a very heartfelt single, "I'm Just Sayin," early 2016 which showed him waking up to his daughter playing in the same home he grew up in. The song and video is very dear to his heart because it gives fans a sense of where he came from and who he became both as a group member and a solo artist.

Early this spring he released his latest hit, "Say No More," that he is very proud of and is hoping to release more relatable tracks on a future EP hoping to come out June 2017. As far as his group Hamilton Park, he definitely sees better things happening for them as long as they maintain the faith that they've always had. He knows the fans will not be disappointed.
