Shape Magazine July 2011 Issue

Shape - July 2011

Go pick up this month's issue of Shape Magazine - on stands now! My most favorite cast member from The Lion King, Buyi Zama (Rafiki), is a "Success Story," and she looks absolutely FABULOUS!

Here are some behind the scenes photos from her Shape photo shoot at the Mandalay Bay Theatre:

I started working on this story idea my very first week of work at my firm in August 2010. Lesson learned that success takes time and persistence, because it took almost one year for us to finally get Buyi's amazing transformation story nationally published. Her story was also picked up in the Las Vegas Review-Journal here.

Buyi deserves all the recognition. She not only overcame a challenge that she struggled with for most of her life, but Buyi is one of the most genuine, positive and kind-hearted people I have ever met. And she's so, so talented! If you ever have the opportunity to catch Buyi singing "The Circle of Life" in the opening number of The Lion King, you will be brought to tears. She's that phenomenal! Congratulations, Buyi, on all of your success!
