DR. CAROL J. BENNETT - LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD-WINNING UROLOGIST

TONY22- ARTIST & MUSICIAN
I’m so incredibly humbled that I got to interview Tony22. I was fortunate enough to be introduced to him by his amazing girlfriend & my bud Jada (whose interview will follow this one). The reason I’m so humbled is because I know my strengths and being ‘cool’ has never been my strength and Gen Zers can be absolutely brutal. This was a great Conversating - Enjoy!

I’m so incredibly honored and humbled to have gotten the opportunity to conversate with Estefania Lacayo. Not only is a true dynamic force she is such an agent for connection and collaboration.

SALVATORE SORTINO- REAL ESTATE MOGUL & ENTREPRENEUR
The old saying ‘never judge a book by it’s cover’ could not be better applied to Sal Sortino. It’s not often I’m intrigued or embarrassed by my initial assumptions of someone. I can happily say that I’m very pleased that my initial assumptions about Sal were incorrect. Knowledgable, funny, and just overall a nice guy. I was so intrigued I just kept talking. Enjoy!
LESLEE LIVINGSTON-MURRAY- FOUNDER OF MACK & MYYLES JEWELRY
If you know me you know I LOVE jewelry. I came across Mack & Myyles Jewelry over the summer and was instantly obsessed. After low-key Insta stalking I was able to convince Leslee, the Founder of Mack & Myyles, to do an interview. I was ECSTATIC! Even more amazing Leslee has offered our readers a discount using code “YLMM”. Enjoy!
MICHELE MEYER-SHIPP ESQ.- CEO DRESS FOR SUCCESS WORLDWIDE
Dress for Success is an organization I have always loved and admired since high-school. My father argued because it was an excuse for my ‘PhD in shopping to be overlooked as giving back.’ Now in high-school that probably was a small reason why I loved Dress for Success. The reality is, they are so much more they guide women from everything to interview prep, community, styling and mental well-being. At the helm is powerhouse Michele Meyer-Shipp Esq. and to say I was overjoyed she said yes is an understatement. One of my proudest moments to date! Enjoy!

Before we jump into SWIMINISTA. I want to remind everyone that you are truly a badass and serial entrepreneur. You co-founded Rock and Republic jeans that was a global lifestyle brand.
