History In The Making

As I awaking from my slumber in great anticipation on Tuesday Morning January 20, 2009 on a day that would become symbolic for years to come as History was in the making, The Long Awaited Vision for the African America Heritage I was with mix emotion. I was so excited that the Lord allowed me the opportunity to see this day a day in which I wish my beloved Parents could have seen, A day that Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Visualize and Prophesized it so to be. A day that countless others gave their lives that one day we would all come together as one and celebrate as a nation., The 1st Inauguration of an African American President.

Oh how well as a young lad I remember my parents and countless others telling me the things that they had to endure as Black African American’s and their struggles in life to survive so that today we could all have the freedom we have today.

As I mention earlier I arose early turned on the Television, My laptop computer because I didn’t want to miss anything symbolic with this moment in time. The media really covered it oh so well to the point I almost felt like I was actually there in the crowd only part I was warm as people in attendance at the Nation Capital no doubt was freezing cold on the outside of their body and warm within from excitement of this day made in history. I mean I was glued all day long only to take a break for a hour only because the media took a break to only continue the coverage of the evening segment of Inaugural Events… I watched past midnight and that’s because I was tried in every sense of the word.

In my summation of this Historic Event I close Congratulating President Barack Obama to the Highest Office in the US. I pray the blessings and favor of God upon you and your entire administration, I pray God protection over you and your Wife Michele Obama and children, I pray that the Lord gives you Wisdom, Knowledge and Understanding as you lead this country during your term in office, And that the Lord cancel every assignment that the enemy try to bring against you. I pray that we as a people especially those who are called by God to stand in the gap of prayer on your behalf. For it is in Him (Jesus) we live, move and have our being!

One On One With Darrell Cannon of DLC Collection

Greetings to all of my blog readers and supporters, I would like to say Happy New Year to you and your family.

For this blog I thought I would write something a little different from the norm... This blog will focus on a young man brought up in the church and has per sued a career in Modeling and Fashions and is the Developer of DLC Collection.





Timothy Gaines: Greetings and blessings to you my brother in Christ, How are you doing?

Darrell Cannon: I am Blessed!!! Just enjoying Life.

Tim: I’m excited about this interview to share with Family and Friends from across this country on My Blog Spot, The reason I’m excited is because you are a saved young man living a life exclusive for the Lord. To get us started why don’t you share a little something about yourself, Things that you would like for all of the readers and supporter to know about you?

Darrell: OK..I was raised in Ypsilanti Michigan. I am the oldest of four children. I am currently working on my modeling career. I have been modeling since I was 8 years old. This career has been pass through three generations of my family. I am a man who know his purpose.

Tim: Since this is primarily a Christian base group of reader, Tell us what’s your Church affiliation, And some of the things you participate in under that ministry.

Darrell: I am a Disciple at Great Faith Ministries International in Detroit Michigan under the Leadership of Bishop Wayne T. & Dr. Beverly Jackson. I am very active in the ministry. I sing on the Praise & Worship Team, help assist on the Administration Staff, Shepherds Day Team and so much more.

Tim: Tell me this Darrell isn’t your parents real active in the Ministry and have been for some time now? And what are their rolls in the Ministry?

Darrell: My parents (Elder Broderick & Evangelist Doris Cannon) have been very active in ministry for over 30 years now. They have a blog talk radio ministry. My Father is an awesome teacher and a Student of the Word of God.. My mother is a Evangelist and Prophetess. So as you can see I am a PK.


Tim: Are you the only child or do you have other siblings?

Darrell:Yes I have 2 brother and one sister.

Tim: So Darrell moving right along, Tell us how did you get in the industry of Fashion?



Darrell: Like any other young person, I like clothes and shoes...lol. I would go out shopping looking for things to wear, I was never satisfied with the things I saw. So I begin to get ideas in my mind and I began to draw them out on paper. So most of my suits and cuff-links are custom made.

Tim: Have you always wanted to be a Model from childhood? Or was this something you consider after becoming an adult?

Darrell: Well Tim, I always knew as a child that greatness was inside of me. I wanted to be a Lawyer because I like to research things and I like to argue..LOL. Alot of people would tell me that I would make a good model. So in 2000 I had decided to try to pursue a modeling career. It was very hard because I had so many negative people around me. I would go to audition and would not get pick so that brought on a spirit of rejection. So for a couple of years, I decided not to pursue being a model. In 2006, I was preparing for my 25Th Birthday Party. I had decided to take some pictures for the party.. I met a photographer by the name of Jeffery Cross and he really encourage me to pursue a modeling career again. So I did 3 photo shoot with him. After taking those pictures, for six months I didn't do anything with them. One Sunday morning in November of 2007, I was sitting in church and My Pastor was speaking the the congregation and he said that 2008 was the year of Manifestation. I knew that word was for me. So a friend of mines told me about a website that helps models network with people in the industry. Since January 2007 until now, God has allow me to do two T.V commercial, numerous fashion shows and photo shoot in the Metro Detroit Area.

Tim: What were your parents thought about it when you approach them with the idea of being a Model?

Darrell: When I went to my parents and told them about this, they were very excited about it. They are very supportive of my career. They come to all of my shows and sit in the front row.

Tim: What about your Pastor?

Darrell: Bishop is one of the reason why I dress the way I do. The Bishop can dress..LOL.Bishop and Dr. Beverly are very supportive. I am always giving them update and they keep me in prayer. "They teach us at Great Faith to seek God concerning the plan and purpose that he has for our lives."

Tim: The reason I asked that question is because when I was a kid coming up in holiness, The Parents and the Pastor only gave you limited things to choose, What you could or what they would allow you to become in society?

Darrell: I believe that our Parents and Pastors have our best interest at heart. I live a very shelter life and there was things I could and could not do. The scriptures says to "Train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not depart from it" Even when I got older and tried to do my own thang, God always pulled me back to him. My Parents and Pastors understood that in order for me to become the Man, I have to experience different things.


Tim: OK Darrell outside of Fashion what are other things that interest you?

Darrell: I love to Roller Skate, cooking, traveling, music and spending time with my family. By me being very active in the church, I like to bring new ideas that can help our ministry grow and to give back to the community.

Tim: So with DLC Collections what is your optimist goal to accomplish?

Darrell: I believe that this business will be a blessing to so many people. DLC collections will consit of different things, Fashion Designers, wardrobe stylists, photographers, makeup artists and hair stylist. In this industry, they are so many young men and women that are dealing with low-self esteem concerning the way they look. My goal is to help many young men and women see the beauty that God is place inside of them and for the to know that you can make in this industry with compromising to get what you want. I would like to start a Christian Base entertainment agency to help get jobs in the entertainment world.

.

Tim: If someone wanted to become a part of DLC Collection, What are the requirement or is it a closed but selective Group?

Darrell: If you are very serious about getting into the fashion industry, you can email me at officiallydarrell@yahoo.com. This group is more for the Metro Detroit Area for now. We will go global soon.


Tim: Well Derrell I really would like to thank you for sharing with my reading and viewable blog fan base and I pray Blessings and most success to you as you live a saved life showing young people that they can pursue their vision’s and dreams and yet remain faithful to God.

Tim: So if there anything further you would like to tell my viewing audience that I may not have asks you, If so feel free to express and inform me. You know I pressing on the upward way, I’ll say like one of my beloved mentor’s and pastor would say I’ll Youthful and Dynamic lol

Darrell: Thank you Tim for taking time out to let me share with the world that Gift that God has place inside of me. For those who reading this article all I can say is, "If you Delight yourself in the Lord, He will give you the desire of you heart". God Bless!!
