Prior to that, he published Take Five Magazine for 15 years. After leaving the Post in 2009, Sylvester worked as a consultant and researcher for SmileyBooks, owned by public radio and TV commentator Tavis Smiley on several books including, “The Rich & the Rest of Us,” written by Smiley and Dr. Cornel West. Sylvester founded the Sweet Potato Project in 2012, a program that taught urban youth entrepreneurism through agriculture.
