Good Morning,
I wanted to inform all you Sistas that we have just confirmed our conference tour in the Chicago area: the program is called "More Than Fame"
http://www.myspace.com/utopianetworkwww.morethanfame.us
The More Than Fame program is an innovative program developed to motivate teens to reach their highest potential. We utilize talented professionals of the fashion, film, music and media industries which students can relate to. Our mission is to creatively inspire youth to be successful by stressing the essential role of an education, financial literacy, social responsibility in their own community.
During Our program students will be engaged in an interactive and energetic experience concentrating on these 3 subjects.
1) Education
2) Financial Literacy
3) Arts and Entrepreneurship
Our panelists are a harmonic blend of men and women both creatives and entrepreneurs, who shape the images and products that teenagers adore.
A few of our past supporters include:
Kanye West, 30, Music Producer/Artist
Little X, 30, Video Director for Usher, Keisha Chante, Xhibit and more.
Kirsten Magwood, 28, Visual Brand Marketer for Russell Simmons and Donald Trump
Coltrane Curtis, 31, MTV Style VJ for MTV Awards, Sneak Attack.
OUR HISTORY
Utopia Youth Network was founded in 2002, as a response to the negative behavior and lack of interest in their current education by young people exhibited to our founder, AlissaConstable, during her tenure as Assistant to the Dean at a suburban high school outside of Chicago before moving on to her career as an executive for the world’s leading distributor of independent music distributor in the world.
Since our inception, Utopia Network has long term support from College of Lake County, Toyota/SCION, Columbia College Chicago, Target, VIBE, McDonald’s and VIBE Magazine to name a few.
“At Utopia Network, we are committed as young successful creatives and executives to inspire and inject truth, positive self-image and priceless knowledge into the lives of people not so much younger then we are, from the response of our program, we know that the students leave the program rethinking the images that they see on TV and understand that they are larger then those images.”, states Alissa Constable
Tour Dates:

We are looking for volunteers and vendors.
