I am elated with this issue of SB Magazine. We are nearing the conclusion of another triumphant Prize Fest. It’s just amazing to see how Gregory Kallenberg and his crew have grown this festival into such a beast. Be sure to read Adam Bailey’s cover story on Prize Fest and how this group of creatives have added another glittering gem to the SBC crown. We also have two heart-felt articles that feature women who have done some pretty amazing things. Sha-neal Caldwell of Cinder’ella in Disguise is donating her business’s time and energy for a much-needed cause. The renowned Laura Crawford is keeping our young musicians engaged and thriving with her work and incredible talent.

I took a stab at trying to understand the intriguing world of cybersecurity. There is so much information and not enough pages to devote to this subject. Suffice it to say; we have some intelligent guardians out there with mind- boggling talent to thwart those evil cyberstalkers.

We are also dedicating space to the two artists who are going to transform our elevated storage units, better known as water towers. We think they have captured the essence of our city and will be following their progress.

Finally, don’t miss our handy “Ask All the Experts” guide. It might save you valuable time in searching for any help you might need.

There are so many great things happening in Shreveport right now – so many possibilities and opportunities. G-Unit is getting it on, people. The Humor and Harmony Tour was an outstanding success. I can’t wait for all the great things “Fiddy” has in store for the SBC. Look for a big story hopefully very soon on this amazing organization.

I hope you enjoy this edition of SB Magazine. We sure had a blast putting it together for you.
