Expressions of a Man: Interview with Theodore R. Goyins, III
Tuesday, November 1, 2011
When I see my peers pursuing their passion, it continues to fuel me on my creative journey. We often hear about the success stories, but don’t fully understand the twist and turns along the way. I met Theodore R. Goyins, III on the campus of Florida A&M University in the Fall of 2001. Even back then he had a way with words. Theodore was outgoing, charismatic with a magnetic personality. You could tell people genuinely enjoyed being in his company.
I became familiar with Theodore’s writings on his blog, Thoughts of TRG 3. I always found the free verse poems to be personal, introspective and inspirational. “Thoughts of TRG 3” was the start of a journey -the spark of a passion. I took a moment to sit down with Theodore to gain insight into his first collection of poems, Expressions of a Man, and understand his path to publication. I always knew Theodore was destined for greatness; I’m just glad I could be apart. Book artwork styled and creative directed by yours truly, lensed by, Elton Anderson.
Inspiration lies below. Don’t be afraid to read, comment and share.
Expressions of a Man can be purchased here -> http://bookstore.authorhouse.com , http://www.amazon.com and http://www.barnesandnoble.com.
Could you give us any insights into the story behind Expression of a Man?
Expressions of a Man was a cathartic piece of art for me. From childhood to present day I have dealt with health and life challenges that have had me close to death. I desperately needed to find an outlet to let out my inner struggles and emotions. Writing became my release. Over the years I would write my thoughts down, both positive and negative. It was bottled emotions that caused my ailments to grow exponentially. I would never tell friends or anyone about my writing because I considered it emasculating. After getting over my fears of letting out the inner most parts of me, I decided to share it with others. Expressions of a Man is a collection of one man’s challenges and the rewards that came along with overcoming the same.
What do you hope readers will take away from reading your collection of poetry?
I pray that readers see themselves in these writings. So much that when they read they will start to allow expression to come naturally. This anthology is both for men and women. For men it shows that expressing yourself is not only isolated to one gender and that it will truly help them in every aspect of their life, if they found a way to express what they truly feel. As it relates to women, I am aware that many women have buried the heartbreaking memories and emotions of abuse. This book will help women start the healing process allowing themselves to overcome those terrible memories and express their pain. I pray that women read this book and become even more clear to how men may express themselves as well. Also so that they understand that a man’s way of expression may be different but the emotions behind it may be the same. Women are powerful and they can create a comfortable environment for men to express themselves openly. This anthology seeks to help expression come naturally for both men and women.
Writing such a personal book can be emotionally taxing, what were some of the biggest challenges and rewards?
There were definitely a couple of challenges but with those challenges came great reward. Once I got past the thoughts of sharing vulnerable parts of me and whether or not people would like my writings, I was ecstatic about sharing my thoughts with the world. The greatest reward is knowing that this book may possibly save a life. That is the main motivation behind this book, to save lives.
A lot of writers – at various career points – struggle with rejection, unsupportive friends or family members, mixed reviews, and their own insecurities. Has your journey been devoid of these experiences?
My family and friends have definitely been a great support for me. Even when I thought it was a far fetched idea for me to write a book, they were the ones that pushed me to complete it. I am blessed to have such a loving family and strong support system. I have been honored to have positive reviews on my book so far. My journey has definitely not been devoid of insecurity. As artist we are confident in what we do but realize that there is the fact that not everyone will take to your art as you do. The fact that one person out of millions may not appreciate your art can make for an insecure artist. We want everyone to love our work but I know that is not realistic. I do know that one person will be saved or motivated by my art and that is gratifying.
Could you tell us a bit about your path to publication?
I started out with just a blog and posted writings there for quite some time. In the beginning I did this to get through some hard times. After many people started to enjoy my writings and convinced me to compile my writings in a book that is when Expressions of a Man was birthed. I knew I wanted to self publish my first piece. I have great plans and ideas for my writing. I wanted readers to just enjoy my work and become known in the literary world. I look forward to doing more books and other forms of writing.
What about the writing life first called to you? Were you quick to answer or did time pass by?
Time definitely passed, actually years. I thought it wasn’t a manly thing to do, to write. Write, not a macho former football player. I wasn’t supposed to be a writer; I was supposed to be something totally different. But this is my calling. Looking in the face of death will really push you to find your purpose. I truly believe I have found mine.
Can we expect a follow up to Expression of a Man?
Definitely! My second book will be coming out soon. I just want readers to really absorb this book Expressions of a Man. Look for a play before the next book. God willing!
What would you like to say to people who are reading this interview and wondering if they can keep creating, if they are good enough, if their voices and visions matter enough to share?
When you find your passion, that is when life begins. Never stop creating, never stop believing! Your art is needed in this world and there is someone out there in this vast world that is depressed and is stuck in darkness. You and your art may be the light that saves their life. That is the purpose of your art.
Ultimately, what will be your legacy?
I am aware that my art will be more appreciated when I am no longer on this Earth and I am fine with that. I want to leave a legacy of determination and commitment. When I am no longer here I want the world to know that there was once a man who had challenges and obstacles just like them but life continued. I want my kids to remember Daddy as one who stood for integrity. My legacy lies in all 194 pages of Expressions of a Man because my life in fact lies on every page and finding this passion is where my life began.
Follow Theodore on Twitter – @TRG_3. He will also be having a book signing on November 12, 2011 at HueMan Bookstoore (2319 Frederick Douglass Blvd. (Between 124th and 125th Streets). New York, NY 10027) from 4pm to 6pm.

As a creative professional, there’s no greater feeling than having your talent recognized by one of the largest brands in the world. Last September, LaTanya Beauregard, an art director with Disney’s Yellow Shoes Creative Group, contacted me about styling an editorial for Disney’s Fairy Tale Weddings & Honeymoons Marketing Division. I must admit, when I received the initial email, I was in denial. I wondered why my spam filter didn’t catch the message because THIS was unreal. After a few email exchanges, the contract was solidified; I was to be the fashion stylist for an upcoming wedding editorial and promotional campaign. *pops bottle of sparkling cider while hitting my dougie*
I calmed my nerves, and began two weeks of preparation for the project. LaTanya’s storyboard was laid out perfectly, so I knew the direction. This was one of the first shoots where I wasn’t heavily involved in the planning and concept creation; I was slightly apprehensive. Mickey Mouse and I go back like cornrows – naturally, I did not want to let him down. However, once the contract was signed, Mickey was the least of my concerns.I was legally bound to produce awesomeness.
To ensure I was on the same page as the team, I had conference calls with Mark Drennen, the producer, and LaTanya. We established a budget, virtually ran through the shoot and made sure I was equipped with all necessary information to do an amazing job.
Once I arrived in Orlando, I had access to the entire Disney costume vault. Can you say “OVERWHELMING?” It was surreal. To actually hold your childhood in your hand brought on many bouts of nostalgia. *cues Somewhere Over the Rainbow* Once I perused the vast inventory, I pulled the actual crown and jewels of Glinda the Good Witch from The Wizard of Oz, Cinderella’s glass slipper and Prince Charming’s tuxedo and scepter. Wedding gowns were pulled from designer Alfred Angelo, and I went shopping to complete the looks.
Instead of hiring models, Greg and Kristen Griffin, an actual couple married at Disney World,were cast for the campaign. This was a nice touch – there’s nothing like feeling the love and genuine happiness on set. LaTanya assembled a rockstar team and I was happy to be apart. Enjoy some behind the scenes photos and the editorial below.

2nd Annual Washington, D.C. Africa Festival
Saturday, July 30, 2011
When I initially started blogging, I saw it as a vehicle to share my work, love of PORK bacon and all things red velvet. However, over the past year, I’ve witnessed the power of social media and giving my readers insight to my creative journey. When people believe in your work and see your passion, opportunities arise. So, when the director of the Washington, D.C., Mayor’s Office on African Affairs contacted me to create a fashion presentation for the 2nd Annual D.C. Africa Festival, I wasn’t surprised the referral came from one of my Twitter friends, @Lavender_Chic.
The festival’s goal is to educate people on issues pertinent to the African community, disseminate vital outreach materials and emphasize social entrepreneurship as a betterment tool for the African Diaspora. Additionally, the festival promotes the community’s positive legacy by highlighting Africa’s talent, resources and capability to compete in the global marketplace.
Increasingly, industry professionals have made efforts to merge authentic African techniques with high fashion. For the past few seasons, the tribal trend has been “en vogue” with inspirations from Africa leading the way. Designers such as Diane von Furstenburg, Ralph Lauren and Dries van Norten have all incorporated African fabrics or techniques into their lines.
As a Nigerian (Igbo Man*pounds fist to chest*) living in the DMV, I saw this as a vehicle to visually educate the community on the versatility of African and African-inspired fashion. Don’t worry; I made sure to leave the bamboo shoots and loin cloths at home. LOL iKID. iKID. The presentation was a voyage from traditional to contemporary and combined eastern and western culture. I pulled from Parfait Designs, Côté Minou and Zagodi Fashion with jewelry from Art Aya, Nanichi and LolaRo. Each of these designers helped me convey a fashion story through each look. Based on the feedback from the show, I know a few people will be adding a little bit of Africa to their wardrobes. #missionaccomplished

Have you ever considered about adding a little bit more than just your articles? I mean, what you say is valuable and all. But just imagine if you added some great graphics or videos to give your posts more, “pop”! Your content is excellent but with pics and videos, this site could certainly be one of the best in its niche. Good blog!
-
With havin so much written content do you ever run into any problems of plagorism or copyright violation? My blog has a lot of exclusive content I’ve either created myself or outsourced but it appears a lot of it is popping it up all over the web without my agreement. Do you know any techniques to help protect against content from being ripped off? I’d genuinely appreciate it.
-
Hi there would you mind stating which blog platform you’re using? I’m planning to start my own blog soon but I’m having a tough time making a decision between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your design and style seems different then most blogs and I’m looking for something unique. P.S My apologies for being off-topic but I had to ask!
-
I’ll visit your weblog frequently for some latest publish. can’t tell you how much I, for 1 value all you do!

Thanks for your post on the vacation industry. I would also like to add that if you’re a senior thinking of traveling, it really is absolutely crucial to buy travel insurance for elderly people.

From the Boardroom to the Weight Room
Thursday, July 21, 2011
I always enjoy styling my family and friends for events and photo shoots. It’s a testament to my skill, and speaks volumes of my craft when the people that knew me as an industrial engineer want to hire me as a fashion stylist. So, when I received the call about a photo shoot last August from Sterling, my good friend/fraternity brother, I was more than ready to make this brother FLY-ER!
Sterling works for the government, or as we say in D.C., “gubment,” and is a fitness model/bodybuilder on the side. He wanted some updates to his portfolio, so he flew to Miami Labor Day weekend for a small vacation and lifestyle photo shoot. During the offseason, Sterling is at his leanest maintained by a very strict workout and diet regimen.
After a long day of shopping and fittings, I thought we would indulge in some fattening grub, however I was sadly mistaken. Sterling whipped out this Ziploc bag of yams and an UNSEASONED, UN-FRIED chicken breast, then proceeded to have “dinner.” *deep, bacon-filled sigh* While my mind respected his regimen, my stomach politely walked to Five Guys and scarfed down a real meal.
The shoot was photographed by Creative Hostel co-inhabitant, Cendino Teme. I picked locations throughout South Beach and Miami to reflect Sterling’s personality and diverse looks. We had a great time working together, and I know it will not be our last. This shoot demonstrated the difference in lifting weights vs. lifting strips of bacon. I may have picked up some tips on physical fitness, but Sterling learned a thing or two about fashion.” Enjoy!
P.S.: The cigar was only for effect; no judgment.

You sure his other side side hobby isn’t being a model? Because he got that down pat. OMWord. Great, great photos. My favorite is him jumping over the rail. Nice. Fantastic job with the shoot, Apuje.

Michael
This shoot is Dope… you can truly tell someone that takes their craft seriously, from those that simply put clothes together and take pictures. The pieces, the composition, everything! Great work Apuje!
-
Almarene Lowndes
There is only one way to describe not only the photographs but the fashions you put together HOT!! Apuje you’ve always had a cutting edge and great sense of style. I only wish that I could hire you to ADD some style to this teachers life.

Puje, I know I am supposed to be looking at the styling here, but I must say your subject is distracting, to say the least. lol In all seriousness, you know how I feel, so in short…Apuje does it again!

Great website man, hope it lasts
Hope you keep updating, I will be back and read up on more of your interesting stuff 
-
You really make it seem so easy together with your presentation however I to find this matter to be actually one thing that I think I’d by no means understand. It kind of feels too complex and very wide for me. I am looking ahead on your subsequent post, I’ll try to get the cling of it!
-
Hi! This post could not be written any better! Reading through this post reminds me of my old room mate! He always kept talking about this. I will forward this page to him. Pretty sure he will have a good read. Thank you for sharing!
-
Good work. I will gear this review to 2 types of men and women: current Zune house owners who are thinking about an upgrade, and men and women attempting to decide between a Zune and an iPod. If you are even remotely intrigued, really feel no cost to shoot me an e mail. I’ll definitely be again.
-
Thanks for the strategies you have contributed here. Furthermore, I believe there are numerous factors that really keep your automobile insurance premium down. One is, to bear in mind buying motors that are inside good set of car insurance providers. Cars which have been expensive tend to be more at risk of being robbed. Aside from that insurance policies are also in line with the value of your vehicle, so the more expensive it is, then the higher your premium you have to pay.

Magnificent site. Lots of useful information here. I am sending it to several friends ans also sharing in delicious. And obviously, thanks for your sweat!

Rockin' Steady with Di'Ja
Wednesday, July 13, 2011
It is always a pleasure working with emerging recording artists. Not only are they purpose-driven and humble, but hungry. Often, that hunger and passion resonates throughout their sound and personality. The same can be said and much, much more about Nigerian/Sierra Leonean/Lebanese singer-songwriter, Di’Ja.
Last August, Di’Ja, born Hadiza Blell, reached out to me about styling and creative directing her next photo shoot. After listening to her hit single, Rock Steady, and reading her bio, I was excited to get to work with my first Nigerian-born starlet. *waves green & white flag* Di’Ja’s cultural background radiates through her unique sound as her music effortlessly merges pop, R&B and a hint of reggae. Like most Nigerians, Di’Ja is also degreed UP! She earned dual bachelor’s degrees with majors in psychology and biology, before pursuing what she knew to be her destiny: entertainment.
Her energy is infectious. If you ever have the opportunity to meet Di’Ja, you’ll know what I mean; people gravitate toward her as if they already know she’s a superstar. Once Di’Ja and I had our initial consultation, I knew I had to bring my ‘A’ game. The looks had to match her diversity in sound and culture without losing her as an artist. Di’Ja’s unique personality simply had to emanate through every look. I immediately enlisted the help of some amazing designers to bring my vision to life:
Dominique Auxilly: Look (1 &3), coral dress, and look (7), pewter dress.
Parfait Designs by Esosa: Look (4), unity skirt.
Delilah Johnson: Look (5), babydoll dress.
Artistic Aya: Look (5), paper earrings & bracelet and printed purse.
After pulling from designers, I went shopping to complete each look, and found great pieces from Betsey Johnson, Urban Outfitters, H&M, Steve Madden and ALDO. The mix of custom designs and off-the-rack pieces were the perfect fusion for the shoot.
As a fashion stylist, it is not only important to listen with your ears, but also with your eyes. Clients speak to you in many different forms and it’s your job to pick up on the minute details. Where possible, I infuse elements of my clients’ personal style. It provides them a fresh perspective on how to wear pieces in their current wardrobe. Using some of Di’Ja’s jewelry and shoes for this shoot ultimately helped her own each look.
The story below is what happens when an amazing team works with an even more amazing artist.

In accordance with my observation, after a the foreclosure home is offered at an auction, it is common for the borrower to still have the remaining unpaid debt on the mortgage loan. There are many loan providers who try and have all service fees and liens cleared by the subsequent buyer. Having said that, depending on specific programs, rules, and state guidelines there may be many loans which are not easily settled through the shift of financial loans. Therefore, the responsibility still falls on the lender that has had his or her property in foreclosure. Many thanks for sharing your ideas on this weblog.

Thank you for sharing your notions on this weblog.
