We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Mark Mathews. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Mark below.

Hi Mark, thanks for joining us today. Risk taking is something we’re really interested in and we’d love to hear the story of a risk you’ve taken.

The risk I’ve taken in my life was to create opportunines from a past idea and make this a lived organic experience.
The JOURNEY NEVER ENDS when you visualize your existence as a butterfly: peaceful, calm and with universal gifts.
Than you become aware of what level of risk you are taking and how this decision can affect your family or friends. June 22nd I decided to take my biggest risk I was all in hence the name FLUSH Publishing!! Noone was going to stop me from writing my first non-fiction memoir book entiled ?QuestionMark?Everyone says they quit cooperate I rather take a deep intellectual dive into my existence as a child. When writing White-Magic (23) I allowed you to tap into the darkest moments in my life. “The hardest
trick is to make everyone feel as GREAT as you’re feeding them positive energy and creating illusions
through a reality that doesn’t exist. I saw Jordan in my dreams: PISTOL Pete’s nightmares. I don’t even
know how to kill myself Call it Enormity. God sent Born with the ink of blood Christ on my arm….” The
first to be verified in a city he doesn’t live in. Creating universal questions surrounding mental health is my passion as an individual. I shut myself off from the world if you wanted to ride the magical roller coaster that’s your risk!! I put my heart and soul into my work I AM a living example of the questions we ask are Self who
we are and who are we trying to become
?QuestionMark?” “Do you not pray for an easy life; pray for the strength to endure a difficult one.” Bruce Lee

As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?

Mark Mathews, the author behind “?QuestionMark?,” a captivating non-fiction memoir published under the banner of FLUSH Publishing. With a successful launch and critical acclaim at the Black Arts and Cultural Center in Kalamazoo, Michigan, “?QuestionMark?” has made waves in the literary world. It received a thorough review from Jordan Kahle, a knowledgeable figure with a Master of Library Science (MLS) degree, who also penned an insightful piece about the author. Following this, I was invited to participate in the Schomburg Center Literary Festival in New York and had the privilege of being part of the Printers Row Literary Fest. “?QuestionMark?” was recently republished in May 2023, and I am now eager to collaborate with partners who can help showcase a black author’s work. Mark and Bekka Green are excited to share a bi-weekly podcast called “Mental Health Mondays.” This podcast delves into anything and everything that impacts our physical, mental, and spiritual well-being. This will be a live experience, with audience participation and discussion of the topics. We’ll kick off each episode with a focus on the cause we’re supporting and introduce our sponsors. To add some fun, we’ll begin with a flower grading and flower sponsorship kickback. If you’d like to discuss this opportunity further, please feel free to reach out by phone. Join us on this journey to explore the depths of mental health and well-being, and let’s create a healthier, more harmonious world together.

Any insights you can share with us about how you built up your social media presence?

My advice on building your audience on social media. Find time to connect with your followers and continue to focus on connections with new people! Social media audience was built off presence and creating new waves of energy trends entertainment and helping raise awareness in each community I’ve lived in. I never wanted to follow trends since I started my first company Whitegirlwasted in 2011 social media has changed… Yeah Whitegirlwasted was a lifestyle brand. At this moment I’m in charge of four different instagram social media accounts. (Scoobs2305) (flush4life) (ritmo18) and (flush publishing) “It’s about time management and consistent posting both postive and negative. I want my audience to be my friends. Creating new research in focusing on mental health I was able to ask people questions online about mental health. “The Reality of Facing Mental health issues in society without a box. Creating a qualitative research project by collecting over 2,000 stories both positive and negative of mental health over the past seven
years. The fundamental goal is to inform a generation with a core value of accountability with
understanding mental health language autoethnography, and visual ethnography of lived organic
experiences. We are in a mental health crisis without a tutorial to connect ourselves with art and
literature.

Any advice for managing a team?

A great leader is invaluable and it’s important to instill accountability into each team member. Leadership is vauble when creating a team. Set a goal for the team and this will help. Make sure you do team bonding events to create chemistry with the team you are managing. Positively and honestly will help keep a high morale.

My examples of leadership was thru the lens of my Major Katrina Diane Mathews and K.Kendall Mathews. Having the ability to connect with people through the Salvation Army over the past 32 years of experience in all different facets learning communication is vital in every relationship I didn’t strive to be a LEADER MLM was born into this role. having the ability to pick oneself up through conversations with Auntie Londa, Marco, Sugga and Erica Brent learn from those losses. My connections and experience from on the court and off the court made me love other’s who needed to be uplifted during their journey!! “Throughout the book, I am performing deep-level magic,” ANIMA FLOS *12*
