Phyllis Cooley is a very busy woman she is not only the editor but the publisher of Spectacular Magazine for Durham NC. The magazine is designed for the community, and some stories are written by everyday people like myself. Ms. Cooley is all about business and she made that very clear when she came into talk to our class. She talked about how important deadlines are, and how everything works around a certain schedule. I never really thought how backed up something could get if she held off five minutes just so one person could try and publish a story. She made it CLEAR that she WOULD NOT mess up her deadline because someone else was unable to meet theres. Remember how I said Ms. Phyllis Cooley is a very busy woman she in not only the event planner for the annual Martin Luther King Jr. day parade and Juneteenth Chairman, but she has just started a radio program that you can listen to on the internet, she plans to have Bev Pardue on her show this week. Ms. Cooley is living out her dream and passion and although she stresses that her job isnt easy and its alot of work. Her goal is to reach and give hope and empower her community, shes all about awareness.
