editors note
H appy New Year! Can you feel the ex-
citement? This year is definitely go-
ing to be better than the last. This year, we
will establish new pathways to success and
develop key allies that believe in our vision.
We are committed and fully believe in what
tomorrow has to offer. Are you?
We do not know what the next day holds
but whether good or bad, there will be
progression. If bad, we will learn to better
overcome adversity and use the experience
to weather future storms. If good, we will
be thankful for what we have been given
and put it to good use for ourselves and for
those around us.
What do you do with your experiences?
It’s not easy to think positive about every
negative situation or happenstance that we
may encounter but if we can will ourselves
to glean every bit of knowledge that comes
with struggle then we can never truly move
backwards but always forward.
This issue would not be possible without
most importantly our Creator, Mom and
Dad, the Canvas Magazine staff, and our un-
believeable advertisers.
See you in March!

DARREN
ANTHONY written by Andre Cisco II

W hen Darren Anthony took his fi-

nal student loan check from Cuy-
ahoga Community College and put it to-
ward equipment to make music, it served
as a right of passage into the pursuit of his
lifetime dream of making music his career.
Currently signed to an independent label
based out of Chicago, Illinois, this singer,
songwriter, and musician not only plays
guitar, saxophone, and piano but also is a
member of the talented production team,
Pro & Brave. With a strong buzz surfac-
ing out of several major markets Darren
Anthony or “DA” is charted to be the
next new artist out of Cleveland’s newly
revamped music scene.

You may have heard Darren on the

acoustic version of “Wasted” on The DJ
Steph Floss Mixshow or on DJ Knyce’s
“Turnt Up Remix” with songstress Britni
Elise. His first project entitled, “The Res-
taurant” which was presented by famed
Cleveland Disc Jockey Mick Boogie has
been receiving rave reviews for its soul-
ful sounds and originality. “When I write
songs or play music I pull things out of
myself that people can relate to because
I feel like its more important to present a
product that people can genuinely believe
words gabe crenshaw
in than it is to make music about material
possessions, glamour or fame.”

Darren is working on his next project en-

titled, “Rebirth of Fresh” slated to drop
this winter with I’m King Clothing.

women are more likely than all oth-
er women to die from breast cancer. Tu-
mors are found at a later, more advanced,
stage so there are fewer treatment op-
tions. Some reasons for this include not
following-up after getting abnormal test
results, the belief that mammograms are
not needed, or not having insurance.

Breast cancer can’t be prevented. But

there are things you can do to reduce
your risk, such as keeping a healthy weight
and limiting how much alcohol you drink.

There are things you can do to find

breast cancer early. Breast cancer screen-
ing looks for signs of cancer before a
woman has symptoms. Screening can help
find breast cancer early when it’s most
treatable. Two tests are commonly used
to screen for breast cancer:

Mammogram. A safe, low-dose x-ray

exam of the breasts to look for changes
that aren’t normal. Starting at age 40,
women should have screening mammo-
grams every 1-2 years. Depending on fac-
tors such as family history and your gen-
eral health, your doctor may recommend
a mammogram before age 40.

Clinical breast exam (CBE). The doctor

Powered by Regular screening is the best way to find

breast cancer early in most women. If you
are at higher risk you may need mammo-
grams at an earlier age or more often.

tests too.
