Author of "My Love Notes to a Black Man" Launches Online Magazine

Los Angeles, CA, July 15, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Believing that the best way to reinforce belief in oneself is to hear encouragement and support from your immediate peer group, Lana Reid embarked on a six-year journey of expressing her love and appreciation of Black men. Through radio interviews, speaking engagements, seminars and casual grocery store conversations Lana took every opportunity to share her love of the Black male and her empathy for his struggle. With a need to reach a larger audience on a more frequent basis, she was motivated to create LanaReidOnline as a tool to spread her message further.

LanaReidOnline, a free bimonthly online magazine dedicated to the appreciation and positive promotion of the African-American male and is geared toward the 30-something set. It will feature interviews with some of the most phenomenal Black men around the country doing positive things for themselves, their families and their communities. The digital magazine and new website will debut in July of 2009.

Lana Reid is also the founder of the “Black Relationships Think Tank” held in Los Angeles which she has partnered with Black Enterprise Magazine for the one-day seminar’s production. Ms. Reid has been featured on numerous television talk shows, radio interviews and in newspaper publications across the United States and Canada. She is also an inductee in the “Who’s Who of Black Los Angeles” publication and has been recognized by Los Angeles City Council for her impact. As she gives birth to LanaReidOnline “For the Connoisseur of Black Men,” Lana will currently also be available for interview, speaking engagements and book signings.
