hy is the Queen the most power-ful piece on a chessboard? What

makes Batman such an effective superhero? Why do we go to Wal-Mart?

The answer is...options.

How many options do you have? By options, I mean anything that presents you with add-ed opportunities to live a better life and take care of those around you.

Why speak only one language? Why only have one degree? Why have only one source of income? Why be able to only do one thing?

Batman has a myriad of weapons and gad-gets to select from his utility belt when de-feating villanious foes throughout Gotham City. What’s in your utility belt? How many moves can you make?

Don’t settle. Make a move. The move’s on you. This issue would not be possible without most importantly my Creator, Mom and Dad, the Canvas Magazine staff, and our un-believeable advertisers.

See you in December!

Three things that you notice in a man? Eyes, arms, and feet.

What are some turnoffs? What are some turn-ons? My turnoffs would be foul language and poor hygiene. Turn-ons are simply good hygiene and a man that loves family.

Whats the best way for a guy to introduce himself in public? Just say hi!

What’s the worst experience you have had with the opposite sex? Being forced to listen to a rant of how terrible life is and how it’s all doom and gloom.

What’s your idea of a perfect first date? Take me skydiving, I’d love you forever.

BRITNI ELISE

PROFILE | listenup

A

Find out more about Britni Elise at CanvasCleveland.com

t just 19 years of age and with her debut single, “Satisfied” gaining na-

tional airplay, Britni Elise has been sing-ing since she can remember. She began by emulating artist like Whitney Houston, Tina Turner and Prince under the direc-tion of her father.

By the age of 12, Britni Elise had put to-gether her very own group for which she wrote and produced eleven tracks on their debut album. Eventually the group disbanded but that did not stop Britni from eventually deciding to pursue her solo career. Most recently Britni Elise was signed to KLO Entertainment, a company founded by former Cleveland Indian, Kenny Lof-ton. “I am so happy to be signed to KLO Entertainment! I ended up singing ‘Listen’ for everyone and Kenny fell in love with my voice and decided to join the team!”

Since signing, Britni has performed along-side Latoya Luckett, Mario and Lil’ Boosie while looking forward to the 2010 re-lease of her debut album which will be produced by Harvey Mason Jr. Harvey has worked on projects such as More Than a Game and Dream Girls. Although we are just beginning to see the flower of this young talent start to blos-som, Britni Elise is working hard to reap the benefits of her long awaited dream.

THIONE NIANG

hione, one of 28 children, was born and raised in Senegal, West Africa. In 2002, he came to Cleveland with $20, no family, and unable to speak English. In those nine

years since his arrival, Thione has been awarded the “Call & Post” Most Influential Per-son for 2009, and has worked with County Commissioner Peter Lawson Jones, Mayor Frank Jackson, Councilman Kevin Conwell and Obama for America.

Recently, he started the Executive Round-table which is a select group of local en-trepreneurs and executives from minori-ty-ran businesses and organizations. They meet to receive and share pertinent in-formation on business opportunities and organizational growth. “We also utilize strong networking opportunities to con-nect local and national businesses with international partners,” mentions Thione.

Though, he has achieved much, it hasn’t all been easy. “I work hard and refuse to let obstacles determine the life that I live.” “I understood that disappointments are necessary experiences on the way to ul-timate success.”

It’s this type of undying spirit and work ethic needed in Northeast Ohio. Thione were glad you’re here!

Between job losses, foreclosures, and health insurance, it’s a difficult time for many Cleveland folks. But thankfully, there’s someone fighting for us all, Marcia.

ince filling the 11th District Seat of Ohio vacated by the passing of her dear friend, Representative Stepha-

nie Tubbs-Jones, Congresswoman Marcia L. Fudge has been working twofold to ensure that the legacy of her close companion is recognized through her own hard work and dedication.

We recently sat down with Congresswoman Fudge to discuss her role in changing Cleve-land for the better, the key issues on the upcoming November ballot and the future direction of our nation.

Tell us about yourself? I was born and raised in Northeast Ohio. In fact, I graduated from Shaker Heights High, earned a Busi-ness Administration degree from Ohio State University and a law degree from Cleveland State University.

Professionally, I was privileged to work with my friend Stephanie Tubbs Jones as chief ad-ministrator while she was Cuyahoga County Prosecutor. When she was elected to Con-gress I became her Chief of Staff.

After that experience, I served for 9 years as Mayor of Warrensville Heights.

Since November of 2008, I have served as a Member of the United States House of Rep-resentatives for the Eleventh Congressional District of Ohio.

What was your childhood like and how did your upbringing allow you to arrive at this point right now? Throughout my childhood the adults in my life, particularly my mother and aunt, em-phasized the importance of civic engage-ment and social responsibility. Growing up watching them volunteer on campaigns, re-inforced my belief that those actions were synonymous with being a good citizen. As a result, my professional career has been cen-tered on service. I ran for public office to serve and fight for my neighbors.

S Talk about some of the transitions you had to make when switching titles from Mayor to Congress-woman? Adapting to life in Congress was a big transition. I now travel to D.C. weekly to vote and serve thirty times more constitu-ents, who are extremely diverse and require more tailored services.

The Congressional decision making process is entirely different. While serving as city executive, I made decisions quickly and effi-ciently. Congress is a much larger deliberat-ing body, so consensus building takes longer.

What did it mean to you when you were chosen to replace your close friend the late Stephanie Tubbs Jones as Representative for the 11th District of Ohio? I was truly hon-ored when chosen to replace Stephanie be-cause I know that she would have wanted me to do so. I want to ensure that her legacy is rightfully recognized as one that positively impacted the District and its young people.

What were some of your primary goals coming into your term last November and how would you rate your progress in achieving those goals over your first year in office? I focus on supporting legislation that stimu-lates job growth, reduces foreclosures, and improves health care. Significant progress has been made during my eleven months in office.

What is the toughest obstacle that the City of Cleveland currently faces and what steps do we need to take to overcome that obstacle? Undoubtedly, poverty, the lack of jobs, and rampant foreclosures are the largest obsta-

“I ran for public office to serve and fight for

my neighbors.”

cles facing Cleveland at this time. Economic development and job training within expand-ing industries will overcome these hurdles.

How do you feel about the prog-ress that Cleveland has made in the last four years? Which mayoral candidate would lead us in a posi-tive direction for the future? Over the past four years Cleveland has presented a balanced budget and encouraged develop-ment. While more city renewal is needed, Mayor Jackson laid a solid foundation for job creation. Mayor Jackson has my support.

What’s the most important is-sue regarding the healthcare re-form debate and how will Obama’s healthcare plan affect Northeast Ohioans if it is adopted by Con-gress? The core issue is how to provide affordable and comprehensive health insur-ance for the 86,000 uninsured individuals in my Congressional district. America’s Afford-able Health Choices Act will provide afford-able insurance for 97% of those individuals. The plan will have amazing effects.

Finally, people will not be denied coverage because of pre-existing conditions. Also, if you develop a new illness or condition, you will not be dropped from your plan. Un-fortunately, we have documented cases of

Read the rest of our interview with Marcia Fudge at CanvasCleveland.com

Americans being denied health insurance for everything from being the victims of domes-tic violence to diabetes.

There will be no co-pay for preventive care, such as annual preventive care appointments, and physicals.

Your annual medical expenses will be capped. You will no longer worry about whether you can afford that necessary medical pro-cedure.

How would you rate the progress of our country as Obama nears the conclusion of his first year in office? President Obama has not yet served a year in office. He should be allowed to do so be-fore we offer judgment on his record.

What do you hope will have trans-pired over this next year for the City of Cleveland and for the State of Ohio? At this point next year, I hope that all local, state and federal efforts have culminated into making Cleveland a better place to do business and live. Also, I hope 2010 elections return those to office who will work together on progressive agendas to enhance Northeast Ohio.

he buzz in the streets surrounding the success of the NuLife Personal Fitness program has become too big

not to acknowledge. With a rap sheet of nu-merous success stories that have knocked off over 40,000 pounds in only three years, 30 year old founder and personal fitness in-structor, Miesha, continues to stress to her clients that accomplishments come in all shapes and sizes.

Tell us about yourself. Who are you? How do you pay the bills? I am a 30 year old Fitness Entreprenuer (Fitness Trainer & Business Owner).

What’s it like to be an entrepre-neur? Being an entrepreneur is like being able to breathe life into your dreams and exhale your passion. How did you make the jump from having a job to working for your-self? When did you decide to quit and not look back? The breaking point came when my clientele grew to about 100 clients, while working full-time and complet-ing a Masters program. It was physically tax-ing on my body and letting go of my passion and my education were never an option.

Then while having lunch with a close friend of mine, he asked me when was I going to stop acting like “Linus”? He said this job is like your security blanket for you just like Linus’ blanket on Charlie Brown & you have to let it go. Shortly after, I put in my 2 weeks notice.

Describe your typical workday at NuLife? As a business owner I am never technically “off.” My day starts with teaching a 6am class most days, rushing back home to see my daughter off to school and going back to do a 9am class. Throughout the afternoon I complete my administrative duties, get my personal workout in, answer emails, com-plete client consultations, conduct business meetings and attend to staffing needs.

T Finally, I finish with teaching my evening classes, helping my husband with dinner and following up on emails/client concerns.

What are three tips you have for those that have an interest in your particular field/industry? Educa-tion, Education, and Education. Often times, people enter this business thinking it’s a quick way to make money but quickly re-alize it takes true PASSION for health, fit-ness & saving lives! It is very important to be knowledgeable when going into this field because others put trust in you by putting their health in your hands. Why should I work out at NuLife? Can’t I workout on my own? We pro-vide a supportive & positive environment all while giving the best workouts in town! If everyone had the motivation to work out on his or her own, Nulife wouldn’t be in high demand. At Nulife, we do not compromise accountability because that is what people seek, someone to ensure they stay on track. If you compare personal training rates (which we do offer) you’ll find our program garners comparable results at a fraction of the cost. How does NuLife give back to its community? Every year we provide back-packs & school supplies to at-risk children in the community. We donate makeovers in conjunction with other business owners and sponsor a local Glenville community cheer-leading team. What should we have asked you and why? You should have asked about my support system. My husband helps me stay sane, grounded and happy. He likes to stay behind the scenes but he plays a huge role in making these wheels turn on a daily basis.

What’s next for NuLife? We are now Proud Partners of the Cleveland Cavaliers and Lake Erie Monsters Local Favorites. We are expanding to Atlanta in November and we are bringing more results in 2010!
