Hello All! My name is Allie Lyke and I am the newest member of the ATS family. I will be taking the role as Executive Content Producer and I'm very excited to begin my work. To give some background: I'm a writer (first), creative, and rap enthusiast from Washington, D.C. After moving to Chicago in 2011, I graduated from DePaul University with a Master's of Journalism. Since then, I've founded Lyke Media, a start up digital media and public relations firm for local, small businesses, and creative professionals. I've also started a podcast called Butch & Quinn which you can check out on soundcloud. Although my love for writing started at a very young age, it was heightened during my time with gowherehiphop.com. As a blogger and tastemaker, I developed a love for music media and underground rap talent. It is that love that sparked various critiques of rap & hip hop culture on my website, EverythingAllison.com, and now, Against The Stream Magazine! As Executive Content Producer, I feel I have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Not only can I provide an accurate portrayal of the magnificent city of Chicago and its people; I get to do it in a way that brings me joy - blogging. It may sound silly to you, but it's the truth. I gain inner peace knowing that I can keep others (you) informed, current, and involved. In keeping with ATS values, I hope that you'll allow me to uplift, enrich, and inspire you to explore and expand your Chicago community and all the amazing people within it changing the game daily! Because it's a new year, I leave you with the latest from Kanye West & Paul McCartney - Only One. "Hello my only one/just like the morning sun/you'll keep on rising til the sky knows your name/Hello my only one/remember who you are/no you're not perfect but you're not your mistakes"
