Hello CVIBE Family-

Summer is now officially over and so is carnival season. Unless of course if you live in Miami. For many Floridians, and good share of New Yorkers, Miami Carnival is the best way to keep the summer fun alive. From Carnival Warm-Up in September straight through to its end in mid October, revelry is relocating to the south. Check out our Upcoming Events to get a brief look at some of the bashment taking place down there.

Dancehall music’s chart topper Sean Paul has crossed the border and is conquering all of North America; his album Dutty Rock is now number one in Canada! P. Diddy is still making moves, he recently signed a deal to open a 3,500 square foot, two-story Sean John retail store on New York's ritzy Fifth Avenue. Opening in the spring of 2004, this will be the flag ship store for Sean John. Sean Combs is constantly redefining the phrase hip hop mogul!!

This month some of our favorite celebrities have proven that it’s not about how much money you make, it’s what you do with it. Much love to Mary J. Blige who recently donated $25,000 to the two Harlem–based AIDS charities, Bailey House and North General Hospital AIDS Center, at the new M.A.C. store in Harlem. Mary J. has been a long time spokesperson for The M.A.C AIDS Fund and continues to be outspoken on issues of AIDS research and AIDS in Africa. Much respect goes to Bill Gates, Chairman of Microsoft, who recently donated $51.2 million to help the New York City school system create 67 smaller high schools in overcrowded, low income neighborhoods. It is the largest donation to any school system---ever. Remember, October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month so ladies, and the men who love them, handle your business. Early detection saves lives!
