When I first met Chavaz Knowles by phone, we had a brief exchange about the pronunciation of my name. He was asking for Ka-trice and I was answering, "this is Kay-triss." After a moment, we came to conclusion that I was who he was looking for and began an easy conversation as if we'd known each other for years. Chavaz, the CEO of ADvanceYour Future {a consulting company for today’s discerning business professional}, had discovered me via MVL on Google. That alone was enough to make my day. But, he was actually calling to request an interview for ADvanceYour Future's February newsletter. 

We chatted about everything from my career as editor with Atlanta Tribune: The Magazine, to my choice in movies, MVL and even my thoughts on natural hair. I'm excited to share the feature here. 

Thank you Chavaz and ADvanceYour Future!
