emPower—the magazine that will uplift, empower and engage African-Americans through thought-provoking articles and editorial—launched in June.

Who We Are
Updated every Wednesday, emPower (knowledge. vision. power.) is an online magazine that offers commentary and articles on news, politics, social consciousness and culture for the African-American market. emPower magazine is published by Liu Karama Productions LLC.

Why We Write
The mission of emPower magazine is to not only deliver timely and thought-provoking articles and advice, but to also seek solutions to issues plaguing the African-American community, and stimulate civic activism, volunteerism and cohesiveness. Features take an in-depth look at current issues. A "What YOU Can Do About It" sidebar, which lists organizations/groups that assist in the topic discussed, as well as ideas on how to make a difference on your own, will accompany each feature article. The purpose of the sidebar is to get readers involved in their communities.

Our Mission
Beginning in 2009, emPower magazine will collaborate with non profit organizations so emPower readers can become active participants in their communities by donating their time, talents or money. Each year, the magazine will focus on one issue or cause. By having feature articles, blogs, and short documentaries on the spotlighted subject once a month, this will allow readers to become educated and thus become social changers. In 2009, the focus will be on HIV/AIDS in the African American community and in Africa. In 2010, emPower will focus on the water crisis in Africa. If you are an organization that would like to join our Non profit network, email info@liukarama.com and put "non profit network" in the subject line.

Our Mottos
Knowledge + Vision = Power.
