   When it comes to maintaining beautiful and healthy skin, Jarie Chantell Ayala-Bullock knows something about it. The Orlando, FL, resident is an Esthetician licensed in Virginia, Maryland, and Florida.     Jarie enjoys a balanced and well-rounded lifestyle. She is married with four kids, having one son of her own and two bonus daughters and one bonus son. Besides being a savvy businesswoman, she has accomplished quite a bit professionally and personally in her life. Jarie is an Army Veteran and graduated with honors from American InterContinental University with a degree in Business Administration. She graduated from AVI Career Training as a Master Esthetician in 2013 and obtained her Acne Certification from Face Reality Skincare. Additionally, she has numerous Certificates of Completion for Herbal Medicine, Perfumery/ Artisan Perfumery, Makeup Application, and Makeup Artistry.    The name of her business is Clear My Skin by JChantell. She shares how her journey in business began as a young girl who was impressed by the presence and sophistication of her mother. “I remember smelling my mom's clothes in her closet. That was my first love of fragrance. I would watch her get ready to go out with her girlfriends, and she had her skincare and makeup application down to a science. First her skincare routine, followed by her makeup then her clothes selection and last, her perfume scent.  As a teenager, I had acne issues, and the first skincare product I used was Noxzema. No moisturizer, exfoliant, mask, or sunscreen - just noxema. It worked okay on my skin, and at the time, I didn't know or understand I needed a routine rather than one product. It was then I developed my interest in skincare. The more I explored and experimented with different products, the more I wanted to know about skincare and skin health,” she says. Her interest would soon develop into a career involving skin care and Esthetics. Jarie says if she could change anything about her journey in business, she would've been more confident about what she had to offer in her field and not be afraid to take more risks. "I was so cautious and wanted everything to be perfect rather than take chances and fail in order to learn," she says.  Moving forward, Jarie plans to continue to learn about skin health, herbalism, and perfumery and hopes to expand on being a Virtual Esthetician and getting her Eau de Parfums in stores.  She also wants to donate more of my services to nonprofit organizations.    To learn more about Huami Magazine, please visit our website at www.huamimagazine.com You may also follow us on Facebook and Instagram by putting Huami Magazine, or This Is Who I Am Podcast in your search box.

Nana's Summertime Treats by Sharon RogersAs far as my family can remember, from back in the early 1960s up to the present, most summers when school is out African American children are sent down South to stay with close family members, such as grandparents, aunts, uncles, to learn how to work the fields or just for free child care. In those days, we truly believed in the scripture that says, "I am my brother's keeper" (Genesis 4:9).This story is about a little girl named Kiari in the twenty-first century, and the routine continues. Kiari is taught that Nana, her grandmother, does her share to keep the family going. What Kiari learns is that being a good cook is hard work. Kiari also learns some reading skills and business techniques at a very young age. She looks forward to sharing this valuable time with her grandparents.Sharon Rogers was born and raise in the small town of Hickman Kentucky population 2,365.

In this episode Durell is joined by model, actress, author, blogger, former editor in chief and businesswoman Alexcina Brown. Alexcina and Durell begin the episode talking about how they initially got connected when she was the editor in chief and owner of Brash Magazine. Durell shares how much he appreciates what Alexcina has done for indie creatives in giving them a platform because it's not easy to find media platforms to cover them as they come up building a music career. Durell and Alexcina talk about why it's so important for indie creatives to pick the right partner when you want to pursue a music career. Durell asks Alexcina what it was like to grow up in Macon GA. She shares that she enjoyed growing up in Macon but she didn't feel that there were enough creative outlets for her there. She did appreciate the fact that she was able to experience a pretty normal childhood. She knew that she always wanted to leave Macon because she felt there were bigger things for her to experience and she moved to Atlanta GA after college. Alexcina and Durell talk about why she has a love for marketing and why marketing played a role in pretty much every aspect of life. Durell asks Alexcina what it was like to pledge her sorority Zeta Phi Beta and how that helped her in terms of building relationships. She shares that it really prepared and helped her when it came to networking. She felt that her being in a sorority was like having a second family. She shares that her sorority has a brother fraternity and that she still keeps in touch with her line sisters to this very day. Alexcina and Durell talk about how HBCUs are going to become much more relevant moving forward now that there's opportunities for student athletes. Alexcina shares with Durell that the ability to learn from people who look like her made a huge impact on the way she approaches and navigates her way through corporate America. Alexcina shares about her experience earning a Masters Degree in Entertainment Management from American Intercontinental University. Durell shares about the importance of knowing how to navigate through the entertainment industry. Alexcina shares that having her Degree has helped her in every aspect of her entertainment industry endeavors. Alexcina and Durell talk about understanding your value and leading with doing what's best for you. Alexcina and Durell talk about her journey as a model. Alexcina shares that she started her journey and modeling career in Atlanta where she would attend different meet-up groups where she would meet ametur photographers and learn how to work the camera. She was able to build relationships with different magazines and submit her pictures and ultimately be chosen to feature in those magazines. She shares that her being in the different magazines is what originally gave her the idea to create her own publication, Brash Magazine. She shares that there wasn't much money in runway modeling but she did find success doing print modeling where she was featured in several different magazines from all over the world. Alexcina knew the next step for her was to go into acting. Alexcina shared that she had done some acting work on a show called “Justice By Any Means” for the TV one network which depicts a true crime event. She says that that particular type of work is a lot of improv and acting with your scene partner but no actual speaking dialogue. Durell and Alexcina talk about many people who are fascinated with true crime because they often wonder what would make someone want to commit a crime eventually get caught and spend years in prison. Durell shares a particular story of a true crime murder involving former NFL player Rae Carruth in which he tried to kill his girlfriend and she gave birth to a son before she passed away and his son was diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy. Durell talks about when it comes to relationships and dating he had to come to the realization that he's at a disadvantage when compared to most men. He knows that he has to approach dating relationships completely differently not to show that he's a good person but more to show the value he brings. Durell and Alexcina end the episode talking about why she decided to create Brash Magazine. Alexcina shares that her ultimate vision was to shed light on talent that doesn't get the notoriety that they deserve. She said the magazine started out as a blog where she would do a few artist spotlights and then after being in several magazines she knew that she was ready to start her own publication. Alexcina shares that having a publication is a lot of work. She shares what she loves about highlighting indie creatives is that they often aren't being creative and releasing music for the money but rather because they love doing it despite having to make things happen on a shoestring budget. Durell asks Alexcina about her company Fearless Vision Marketing that she had prior to creating Brash Magazine. She shares that company was more of like a class project from when she was in grad school. Alexcina shares that Fearless Vision Marketing was like a baby version of Brash Magazine.

In this episode Durell is joined by model, actress, author, blogger, former editor in chief and businesswoman Alexcina Brown. Alexcina and Durell begin the episode talking about how they initially got connected when she was the editor in chief and owner of Brash Magazine. Durell shares how much he appreciates what Alexcina has done for indie creatives in giving them a platform because it's not easy to find media platforms to cover them as they come up building a music career. Durell and Alexcina talk about why it's so important for indie creatives to pick the right partner when you want to pursue a music career. Durell asks Alexcina what it was like to grow up in Macon GA. She shares that she enjoyed growing up in Macon but she didn't feel that there were enough creative outlets for her there. She did appreciate the fact that she was able to experience a pretty normal childhood. She knew that she always wanted to leave Macon because she felt there were bigger things for her to experience and she moved to Atlanta GA after college. Alexcina and Durell talk about why she has a love for marketing and why marketing played a role in pretty much every aspect of life. Durell asks Alexcina what it was like to pledge her sorority Zeta Phi Beta and how that helped her in terms of building relationships. She shares that it really prepared and helped her when it came to networking. She felt that her being in a sorority was like having a second family. She shares that her sorority has a brother fraternity and that she still keeps in touch with her line sisters to this very day. Alexcina and Durell talk about how HBCUs are going to become much more relevant moving forward now that there's opportunities for student athletes. Alexcina shares with Durell that the ability to learn from people who look like her made a huge impact on the way she approaches and navigates her way through corporate America. Alexcina shares about her experience earning a Masters Degree in Entertainment Management from American Intercontinental University. Durell shares about the importance of knowing how to navigate through the entertainment industry. Alexcina shares that having her Degree has helped her in every aspect of her entertainment industry endeavors. Alexcina and Durell talk about understanding your value and leading with doing what's best for you. Alexcina and Durell talk about her journey as a model. Alexcina shares that she started her journey and modeling career in Atlanta where she would attend different meet-up groups where she would meet ametur photographers and learn how to work the camera. She was able to build relationships with different magazines and submit her pictures and ultimately be chosen to feature in those magazines. She shares that her being in the different magazines is what originally gave her the idea to create her own publication, Brash Magazine. She shares that there wasn't much money in runway modeling but she did find success doing print modeling where she was featured in several different magazines from all over the world. Alexcina knew the next step for her was to go into acting. Alexcina shared that she had done some acting work on a show called “Justice By Any Means” for the TV one network which depicts a true crime event. She says that that particular type of work is a lot of improv and acting with your scene partner but no actual speaking dialogue. Durell and Alexcina talk about many people who are fascinated with true crime because they often wonder what would make someone want to commit a crime eventually get caught and spend years in prison. Durell shares a particular story of a true crime murder involving former NFL player Rae Carruth in which he tried to kill his girlfriend and she gave birth to a son before she passed away and his son was diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy. Durell talks about when it comes to relationships and dating he had to come to the realization that he's at a disadvantage when compared to most men. He knows that he has to approach dating relationships completely differently not to show that he's a good person but more to show the value he brings. Durell and Alexcina end the episode talking about why she decided to create Brash Magazine. Alexcina shares that her ultimate vision was to shed light on talent that doesn't get the notoriety that they deserve. She said the magazine started out as a blog where she would do a few artist spotlights and then after being in several magazines she knew that she was ready to start her own publication. Alexcina shares that having a publication is a lot of work. She shares what she loves about highlighting indie creatives is that they often aren't being creative and releasing music for the money but rather because they love doing it despite having to make things happen on a shoestring budget. Durell asks Alexcina about her company Fearless Vision Marketing that she had prior to creating Brash Magazine. She shares that company was more of like a class project from when she was in grad school. Alexcina shares that Fearless Vision Marketing was like a baby version of Brash Magazine. Fearless Vision Marketing was catered more to small businesses where she would help them develop their marketing plans. Durell and Alexcina talk about the work that she's done as an author under the pen name the Blakk Dhalia.For more information on Alexcina Brown, please visit her website:http://www.alexcinabrown.com/

Because this is audio I could pretend that I'm always dressed impeccably and everyone admires my flair for fashion. Italians would call me a bella figura.  Full disclosure, this is not the case. I care more for comfort than for style. So when I invited my guest, Nic Hyl, to talk about fashion design I was truly ignorant at the start, and absolutely fascinated to learn about the process. Nic has a combination of creativity, business savvy, and sensitivity to client's needs that impressed me greatly. She recognized that while school could teach her the art of design she needed real world experience to take her designs to the masses. I really loved hearing her explain how a garment goes from idea in her head to the customer's closet.  And the other element that really struck me in our conversation was how Nic Hyl Clothing recognizes the tender feelings women have about their bodies when they put on a bathing suit. I purposely shared this episode at this time of year when many of us are resolving to eat better and exercise more. Nic's philosophy of helping women love themselves as they are in the skin they're in is a breath of fresh air. I hope you agree. Here's the interview.

Owner and CEO of Haven Design Works Donna Mathis is in the studio for today's episode of Atlanta Real Estate Forum Radio. Joined by co-hosts Carol Morgan and Todd Schnick, the group discusses several hot 2021 design trends, as well as recent and upcoming projects from Haven Desing Works on this All About Real Estate segment of Radio. Mathis spent her entire career in the design industry so far, working alongside builders the whole time. After studying interior design at the University of South Carolina and the American Intercontinental University, Mathis began working with a large national model merchandising firm. After several years of learning the trade and gaining experience in the industry, she launched DMD Studios. This company later grew to become a national, award-winning firm. In 2013, Mathis joined forces with fellow designer, Lisa Giles. The two created Haven Design Works. “I love design, and I love the possibilities that design brings to builders to help them tell their story,” said Mathis. Located in Suwanee, Georgia, Haven Design Works has been in business for eight years and works with several clients up and down the East Coast. Working in every major city along the coast, Haven Design Works collaborates with builders and developers across a wide range of projects, including master-planned communities, community clubhouses, model homes, model parks, amenity centers and more. In 2020, Haven Design Works earned several awards at the Annual OBIE Award ceremony.  The OBIE Awards, presented by the Atlanta Sales and Marketing Council (SMC) on behalf of the Greater Atlanta Home Builders Association (HBA), recognize outstanding achievements within the homebuilding industry and serve as the premier awards given in the Atlanta new home construction industry. Haven Design Works won the following awards at the 40th Annual OBIE Awards: Community of the Year and Best Amenity Package – Gold Winner Single-Family Builder, Detached $1 to $1.2 Million – Gold Winner Best Interior Merchandising, Detached $300,000 to $399,000 – Gold Winner Best Interior Merchandising, Attached, $299,000 and Under – Gold Winner Best Interior Merchandising, Attached, $299,000 and Under – Silver Winner Haven Design Works partnered with Jim Chapman Communities, Chathambilt Homes, Traditions of Braselton and Paran Homes to sweep the board, winning awards for merchandising model homes and amenity centers. Mathis does not have a specific type of client she looks for when taking on new design work. From small builders to master-planned community amenity centers, Haven Design Works has the skilled team and wide-spread portfolio experience to take on a variety of project types. For Mathis, the perfect client is someone who has a vision she can help bring to life. “I call it the special sauce,” said Mathis. “To me, the special sauce is when you can partner with your builder and you help them tell their story and help them sell their product in a way that buyers can get and relate to.” Looking forward, Mathis anticipates a big trend for 2021 to include joy. This feeling is something that was scarcely lacking in 2020 due to the effects of the COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic. Looking for patterns, colors and pieces that reflect joy and happiness, Mathis plans to incorporate a variety of design elements into her work in 2021 that reflect the feeling of joy.

She is an award-winning speaker and a #1 best-selling author. But life hasn’t always been kind. Jan has quite a story to tell about surviving challenges, becoming a better person for it and is now making the world a better place.Three "Calls to Action" Jan recommends we ALL implement in our lives today:Pay attention to what’s coming into your eyes and into your ears. Is it serving you and your current mindset? Are you talking to people and watching and listening to things that are positive, constructive and happy? When our life is out of control, one thing we still have control over is our environment - make it an upbeat, positive one.On purpose, do things that feed your soul. Curate tools into your life that will feed your soul. Have a go-to speakers, friends, podcasts, destinations (a park or body of water, for example) music play-lists, etc. you can access any time you need a “booster shot."Get it out - talk to a friend or a therapist, or journal. If you don’t get the negative thoughts and self-talk out, it plays on a loop in your head and that’s not healthy.Where can you find and connect with Jan?Website - www.showupwell.com Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/jan.goss.1LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/civilityconsulting/ Instagram - @showupwell @jangoss1

Prior to this interview, I read links Joshua sent about his criminal charges, the "crackpot crackdown" of the town he was arrested in and how often they charged people with fabricated charges. In his words to me about his incredible story: Long story short I got a reversal (backwards message/reverse speech) in January of 2008 that said 'summer of shame, let's miss it'. About 4 months later in May of the same year, I got pulled over in Edna, a small Texas town notorious for really shady stuff, you can view a 12 page expose article about this town and prosecutor published in the Austin Chronicle here: https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.austinchronicle.com/news/2005-10-21/301887/&sa=D&ust=1572112677982000&usg=AOvVaw0lAcN-nAgGv0mJ1PWKGANy (https://www.austinchronicle.com/news/2005-10-21/301887/)  I got pulled over and arrested for possession of Marijuana when there was no Marijuana. I decided to fight the misdemeanor and they dropped the misdemeanor and charged me with a 3rd-degree felony, Tampering w/Physical Evidence. I took it to trial and they gave me 10 years in prison for "eating a joint." Although my case sounds completely absurd, this has been a common occurrence in the US for decades. You can read the appellate brief of my case here: https://www.google.com/url?q=https://law.justia.com/cases/texas/thirteenth-court-of-appeals/2014/13-12-00320-cr.html&sa=D&ust=1572112677982000&usg=AOvVaw1_wth51i3aIKdaqfJvhHJD (https://law.justia.com/cases/texas/thirteenth-court-of-appeals/2014/13-12-00320-cr.html)  Getting that reversal 4 months before this happened blew my mind as it was definitely a shameful summer. After that happened, I decided to write my book 'Reverse Speech In Theory & Practice: How To Use Your Unconscious Mind To Predict The Outcome Future Events'. Crazy how what seems like a tragedy can actually be a blessing :)    IN HIS WORDS: An indie author who's published two books, Reverse Speech in Theory & Practice: How To Use Your Unconcious Mind To Predict The Outcome Of Future Events & 40 Ways To Making Cash In 30 Days. In 2018, He founded Lion Heart Publishing out of a desire to create a publishing company that puts Indie Authors first by providing bundled services all authors need at affordable prices. Graduating with his M.Ed in 2010 from American Intercontinental University, he has been writing/editing for over 10 years.

Recorded on January 20, 2019   Moderator: Dene Gainey (@Dene_Gainey) I have twelve years of classroom teaching experience, working with a diverse group of students during that time. I currently serve as the ELA teacher at my current school as well as the gifted coordinator and teacher of technology. My writing reflects my experiences both in and out of the classroom, as it pertains to the field of education. My educational passions include the student-driven classroom, diversity, and community as well as innovation and authenticity, to include student empowerment and the C.L.I.M.B.E. philosophy.   I attended the University of Central Florida in Orlando, FL for my baccalaureate degree in elementary education K-6. I have a Masters of Education degree in Instructional Technology from American Intercontinental University. I am currently a doctoral student at Grand Canyon University. I continue to capture my experiences as an educator in written form. Thanks for reading.   Panelists: Marvia Davidson (@MarviaDavidson) I began my career as a high school English teacher in public, charter, and private schools. I served high school students who always cracked me up and had the opportunity to be an active campus improvement team member, student activities sponsor, and curriculum writer. I’ve managed and facilitated engaging learning in classes small and large.   I love seeing growth in learners and the people with whom I work. I am encouraged when they experience learning epiphanies.   As a result of these experiences, I moved into school leadership roles where I coached and trained teachers to be impactful, passionate, efficient, and effective. I created curricular and instructional products designed to improve learner engagement and performance. I have enjoyed coaching, training, improving processes, people development, collaboration, coming alongside teams, & being a servant thought-leader. Now, I seek to empower, encourage, and equip people as a trainer and learning developer.   To hear a learner say, “Ms. D. this is the first book I’ve ever finished, or I finally get it!” are the moments I live for in learning and in life. Each has cemented my core beliefs and helped me know I was doing my job well.   It is my passion to equip, empower, and encourage the people in my sphere of influence. I am all about helping people who think they can’t to remember they can. I hope to inspire you.   Dr. Amy Heger (@dramyheger)Dr. Amy Heger is an award winning educator and school-level strategist.   Attiya Batool (@batool_attiya) Educator in a FL elementary school.   Steve Sostak (@inspirecitizen1) Steve is the co-director of Inspire Citizens, working deeply with schools on implementing school wide visioning, strategic planning, teacher coaching, student leadership, and the building of internal capacity for sustainable education and service learning.  He lives in Beijing, China but works globally.   Check out: Journey to the Y in You by Dene Gainey The Teacher’s Journey by Brian Costello The Fire Within by Mandy Froehlich EduMagic by Sam Fecich DivergentEDU by Mandy Froehlich Daddy’s Favorites by Elissa Joy Level Up Leadership by Brian Kulak DigCitKids by Marialice Curran & Curran Dee Stories of EduInfluence by Brent Coley The Edupreneur by Dr. Will   Music: Ron Madison (@Madison_Ron) Producer: Sarah Thomas (@Sarahdateechur)   Subscribe: podcasts.edumatch.org/edumatchpodcast Join the movement: www.edumatch.org --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/edumatch-tweet-talk/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/edumatch-tweet-talk/support
