creative is evident in all of his endeavors and after working for different companies in the corporate sector, Carey’s
affinity for the arts manifested itself in the form of his highly recognized Urban Tymes Magazine in 2008. Made

itself due to the online response received. Urban Tymes is now one of the most popular and diverse source of
positive media, gaining widespread attention with its cultural friendly flare and winning the 2016 Queen City

publication: Musiek Magazine, which features Indie artists and the culture that supports them!

giving voice and vision to its readers. Carey continuously cultivates his passion for leadership and community
spending free time mentoring youth and being a motivational speaker, with weekly posts dubbed via his writing
moniker: #cwspeaks. His thought behind the concept:
” CWspeaks will be a voice for those that need a voice to get out to others, and a voice to bring forth ideas in a
positive light. To enjoy a multi-faceted lifestyle that encourages others to reach beyond the mark, and really love
who you are destined to be”
