The Hype Magazine Feature

Angelo Ellerbee: doublexxposure “Public Relations Mastermind”
“ It was really important growing up in the city of Newark, my community was starved for culture, I took it on as something I had to do.”
“ These fashion shows I did I brought in all the celebrities that I knew to raise dollars and cents.  More importantly to raise consciousness and awareness of HIV and AIDS.  So, I did these fashion shows each and every single year.  There were maybe 2-3,000 people that would attend.  It was all the major artists coming over to Newark, New Jersey.  Giving of themselves to be a part of a mission of educating.” Click the link below to read the full article.
