Aly Lovelace is an actress and gamer in los Angeles, CA. She is streaming on twitch tv helping those in need while playing games. We have conducted a short interview with her. How did you discover Twitch.tv and what inspires you to such a great idea to help those in need by being a streamer on twitch.tv while playing games? I was introduced to twitch.tv through a group called, The Attack, which is a live broadcast show that I auditioned to be on. Once I started exploring twitch on my own, I immediately thought of how much money I could raise for people in need. And doing so while playing games and talking to people would be so fun! I am inspired by this because I have never been in a place financially where I can give what I want to others. Be it food, clothes, or a roof over their heads. Twitch gives me hope in that, you are able to connect with those that you may never encounter in every day life, are able to ask for their help, and if they are able, they will give. How exc...

She volunteers in her community and decided to start a FB Page that might reach a larger audience. We have conducted an interview with her. When did you start to love inspiring others to be heroes in their own world? My passion for “changing the world” started 30 years ago but it’s only in the last couple years that I realized that lasting improvements in our world come from ordinary people every day. How are people always mistaken about 'Goodness and Grace'? They think it lacks strength and tenacity and won’t lead them to their own definition of greatness What are the myths about this? I think the most prevalent myth is “good guys never win”  Some people still do not know what is their Purpose, how do you help them to figure out before applying it?  The Purpose...

Patrick S. Brooks is an illustrator and writer based in Yorkshire, UK. He works digitally in Photoshop and creates children’s illustrations. He has  two YA fiction novels in different stages of development. We have conducted a short interview with him. How long have you been in illustration work? I have been drawing and illustrating since I was a child. Frequently I drew characters and scenes from animated shows and films, and would then create my own characters and write stories about them. This deep interest continued throughout my education. I used many different types of media during high school and found that I particularly enjoyed working with pastels. In 2000, I began using Photoshop at college for my Art diploma and found that I really enjoyed working this way. During my Art degree after a book signing with Neil Gaiman for his picture book ‘The Wolves in the Walls’, I decided to focus primarily on children’s picture book illustrations. Since graduating I h...

Today our guest is Carolyn Young REMAX Award Winning Realtor in Loudoun Virginia. we have conducted an interview with her: 1    1.    Why Real Estate and RE/MAX? I chose to become a RE/MAX agent because I wanted to do everything above-board, and their reputation for excellence and customer satisfaction attracted me to their core values. Real Estate has interested me for many years before I went full-time nearly twenty-two years ago. It started off as a passion-hobby, but it started to become a career once I made the transition from helping a few friends and family members, to getting referrals due to my ability to listen and meet the right buyer and seller at a fair market evaluation.  2. What are some tips to home owners looking to sell? Location is obviously going to be the #1 determinant of price. Even if you have fully upgraded and up-to-date bathrooms, kitchens, paint, appliances, etc, your home is intricately linked to its location for...

You wrote in your bio that ''Maini writes music and lyrics under a strong inspiring spirit". How did you feel to be under such a strong inspiring spirit and which are your favorite 3 songs that you have ever written? My songs come to me when I get a very strong feeling that just must come out. Something sad or hurtful has happened. It is not a good situation to be in but I know that it can lead to another song. I sit down at my piano and look through poems that people have sent to me, to choose the one that touch my heart in that moment. When I have written the song, I am happy again. I have many favorites among my songs. I think that I like the latest recorded songs best, "Never Said Goodbye" and "Lost Love". Another favorite is my techno single "Let Me Do Your Time". I also like "Blue...

As CGI became a burgeoning tool in storytelling, Telegin immediately dove in the deep end to become one of the most sought after and talented producers who worked with productions specializing in live action and CGI based productions. His acclaim spread from his homeland and has led to a celebrated international body of work.

Bekmambetov’s Academy Award Nominated works (his film Wanted received two Oscar nomina...

Today our guest is Julian Kelly from Maryland, USA. Julian is an adoptee who struggled with her own adoption since childhood searching for closure, identity, and sense of belonging. She is the director and creator of the documentary " Almost Family ". What is the reality shown in your documentary film "Almost Family"? The reality shown in the film is that adoption is complicated. There are some wonderful adoption stories out there, but also some stories in which adoptees were harmed as a direct result of their adoptions, by being placed with predators and abusers. Not all adoptees can process what has happened to them with ease. While adoptive parents often celebrate their adoptions, adoptees sometimes struggle with complex emotions. ‘Almost Family’ gives viewers a window into what those emotions sometimes look like. Adoption isn’t a one-time decision. It is a permanent solution with life-long consequences, which go on for generations. How relevant ...

How did you decide to unite paranormal with this growing up phase 'coming of age' for your books?

But once you live with that for a while, is it really so wonderful? What would you say to describe your writing and yourself to be similar or different to the characters you've crafted? Small aspects of my personality are in all my characters. If I had to choose which ones are most like me it would be Gene and Glori, Hayl...

What was the most challenging about your role that you have acted for the play Femmetamorphosis? Playing my character Yazzmen in Femmetamorphosis is challenging as she is very brash, loud and would be classed socially as common. She is also overconfident and does not care what people think about her. She is so extreme and I am the total opposite but shes is lovely to play.

My biography Kruella is based on my childhood growing up in an area of north london which had alot of social problems.

If you ask a professional who has achieved success in the arts, they’ll tell you that the awards and the ability to support one’s self is greatly appreciated but the true north they seek is making art with others they respect and like. Director Thora Hilmars first became familiar with producer Sophie Brooks while they were both working at RSA Films (Ridley Scott Associates). Witnessing Sophie’s command on projects at RSA, ranging from commercials to the Chemical Brothers tour, convinced Hilmars to approach Brooks about producing the film Sub Rosa . Judging by the recognition the film received, this was a well-founded idea. Sub Rosa was an international hit with acclaim from the San Diego Film Festival (Winner Best short film), Reykjavík International film festival (Jury award), the London short film festival, Rome Independent film festival, and others. Thora communicates, “ Sub Rosa was screened at many festivals and nominated for an Edda, the Icelandic Oscars. Sophie was the main P...

Today our guest is Patricia May. She created Seashell Meditation for Children that introduces a new way of meditation using a seashell as a tool for focus and fun. The child holds the seashell up to their ear while the short story rhyme is being read in the form of a guided meditation.  Why should children be encouraged to do Seashell Meditation nowadays? What are the key benefits?  Children should be encouraged to do meditation of any kind nowadays. Everything is so fast and furious in their lives. With all that goes on in a childs life on a daily basis, to find just a few minutes of quiet time is so beneficial to their mind, body and souls. As a daily practice, a child can learn to feel more at peace, achieve more self awareness, sleep better at night, be less agressive, and so much more. Now, introducing a seashell into the meditation, helps the child to concentrate and find focus much more easily than just sitting there having their mind wonder. Finding out how ...

In my spare time I developed a strategy for day trading with a high success rate, in an industry riddled with volatility. I’ve made money with fantasy sports, real estate, and traditional stock investments. Being financially secure has enabled me to give back and help others in my tribe, wh...

Jennifer Macias just started a resume writing business after working as a recruiter for 20+ years. We have conducted a short interview with her about the importance of a well-written resume. Having been a successful recruiter for 20+ years, what do you look for in a quality resume to help potential candidates get through the door? Writing a quality resume is both an art and a science. It’s imperative that you have a good understanding of the type of career opportunity you are seeking and how that opportunity meshes with your competencies, experience and goals. The best written resumes are a snapshot of the most relevant skills for the position(s) you are applying to. They highlight your accomplishments (rather than just your “job description”) and artistically convey the unique qualities that you would bring to the table. What sense does it make to have a well-written resume in today's context (ie Digital era)? This is a great question. I started recruiting prior t...
