Chasity Gilmore (pictured right with Aliyah Jerrell and Midrina Tucker) deserves credit as the mastermind of this publication. It was Chasity who expressed the goal to begin a magazine "for SC State students by SC State students."
She brought together a talented, dedicated staff of fellow Communications Club members. Together they created this first issue.
This is an important new addition to campus life and we are excited for the future of Spiked!
And it is based right here in South Carolina in Greenville (Fountain Inn to be specific).
The magazine was launched around 2006 in part to promote the company's Nairobi hair and skin products.
Representatives say 100,000 copies of Sheen are printed six times a year and distributed nationally and internationally. They also touted their associated online presence as drawing one million views.

Many thanks and congratulations to the Communications Program's Andrea Milford-Williams and Rolonda Davis for the fine event on Feb. 16 that they organized for our students featuring representatives of Sheen magazine! This could be an excellent ambassador and internship opportunity for our major for years to come. Kudos to the Career Center also for its part.
Sheen promotions director Darren Martin (pictured) explained these student opportunities and after the event, numerous students sought more information. We have lots of students from S.C.'s Upstate region so this could be an exciting opportunity for them!
Martin said he is looking for SC State students to serve as Sheen ambassadors. He is seeking writers to become columnists to share "the HBCU experience...and we could also select someone to set up promotions...we could ask you to set up a fashion show on campus," he said.
The Communication Program is committed to bringing high-quality professionals to campus on a regular basis during the school year.
