August 29, 2024 Enver Gjokaj
ENVER GJOKAJ was unhappily studying Computer Science at Berkeley when he caught the attention of a theater teacher who was able to home in on his potential and suggested he audition for the acting programs at NYU, Julliard & Yale. He auditioned and was accepted into not one, but into all three programs, and with a scholarship to NYU. But the road wasn't always such a golden ticket. California born and raised, growing up he had a bit of a fight to establish his individual identity: he grew up as one half of an identical twin set; when the family moved to Hawai'i, he and his brothers were bullied for being White mainlanders; and upon entering the Hollywood industry he fought to establish his acting identity as a quirky character actor within an industry that also didn't know where to place him themselves. All of this led him to becoming the versatile actor of depth we know him as today and since, he's been featured in films and TV shows including Dexter, The Walking Dead, Agent Carter, Agents of S.H.E.I.L.D. and NCIS: Hawai'i to name a few.

June 18, 2024 Justin Bua
The artistry of BUA was forged from growing up during a pivotal time in New York City - the birth of a culture that would become the influential base in his artwork - and enduring a lifetime of nay-saying mentors in education. After finishing the last part of his schooling in Los Angeles, he would disprove them all, going on to design and draw album artwork for various music artists, skate decks for New Deal, background and character design work for EA Sports NBA Street & NFL Street, and set design for Slum Village’s "Tainted” music video. At the same time, he continued to develop his painting craft leading to establishing himself as “the artist for the people by the people of the people with the vision of the culture” breaking the normative conventional acceptances of the art world with his hip-hop focused work, selling over 14 million prints of his iconic piece THE DJ alone.

March 26, 2024 Shenny Kings
Originally from Lagos, Nigeria, Shenny found herself living in Copenhagen, Denmark without a job, which prompted her to obtain her Masters in Management at Lund University across the bridge in Sweden. While studying, the opportunity of a lifetime landed in her lap and she found herself in a Communications, Partnership and Outreach internship with The United Nations Development Project at the headquarters in Copenhagen, which would later lead to finding herself in a full-time in Project Development within The United Nations Refugee Agency in Stockholm, Sweden. As time continued, she started to realize her self-worth was being determined by the status of being a part of the UN and learned she had to start to put her faith in trust. And once she found that trust in herself, she forged her path into the fitness sector, becoming a Holistic Wellness Personal Trainer, Online Fitness Coach and Certified Glute Specialist, now helping to transform the minds, bodies, curves and lives of women along their own health, wellness and fitness journeys around the world.

February 24, 2024 Aurelia Dey
Aurelia’s artistry crosses different worlds as does her heritage; born and raised in Sweden to Ghanaian parents. She combines the intersectionality of her heritage in her artistic expression, combining traditional Swedish folk music, Ghanaian highlife and Afro-Caribbean rhythms into her sound, winning Best Female Act and Best Stage Performer at the 2019 Scandinavian AfroBeats Music Awards. In the same year, she made her theatrical debut as one of the lead roles in the South African play “Wowza Albert” with The National Black Theater of Sweden, followed by the one-person show “Random” by Afro-British playwright Debbie Tucker Green at Stockholms Stadsteater and now on her way to premiering and starring in her own newly written Afro-Swedish play in the fall of 2024.

January 14, 2024 Jeffrey “Thee Phantom” McNeill
A North Philly native, Jeff got his jump on combining classical music with Hip Hop when at the age of 13 he made his first mix with the Beastie Boys’ “Paul Revere” and Beethoven’s 5th. Since then he has played sold-out shows at world famous venues like The Kimmel Center in Philly and Carnegie Hall & The Kennedy Center in New York, among other various venues across the US. In each city he plays, he builds his orchestras with local classically-trained ethnic minority musicians, providing opportunities for them to play in places they aren’t normally granted or afforded access to.

November 25, 2023 Mark Gerban
Philly native Mark Gerban navigated his way through some hefty personal and political obstacles in his life and still came out on top. He would become a collegiate conference champion swimmer while being a TRIPLE-major (after his high-school grades were so bad they lost him a collegiate scholarship for rowing) and then continuing the champion route as a world-class rower, becoming a US Men’s Lightweight Double National Champion, placing top 16 in the World Championships (2005 & 2007) in the Lightweight Men’s Single, and becoming an 2008 Olympic contender while representing Palestine. This all after he was diagnosed in his youth as having a learning disability and written-off to not amount to much (due to a misdiagnosis of deafness in one ear) while also struggling thru adolescence to find his identity within himself and through the eyes of the world, being a child of a Palestinian-Muslim father and a American-Jewish mother. Later, he would end up in Germany and be responsible for payment systems we have today with Apple and the user-interface experience of a major international luxury car brand, having filed nearly 40 patents for the company himself.

October 23, 2023 Meredith Harper Houston

At the Disco, SpikeTV. residencies in Reno, Laughlin, Las Vegas and the world famous Viper Room in Los Angeles.

August 23, 2023 Tyedric Hill
Tyedric connects the past to lead the present back to the future. He has a background in Black dances (HipHop, Breaking, Stepping, Popping and House) and although he may have stumbled upon Vernacular Jazz dance by way of a socially-pressured first date, after having been taught by the likes of Chester Whitmore and Norma Miller, mentored by Latasha Barnes and becoming a Frankie Manning Ambassador, he has been chosen to be one of the next gen torchbearers of Lindy’s Black American dance history and lineage. Within this newfound journey he is refining his dance voice, strengthening his story, and cultivating his craft to continue to be the vessel through which the legacy of the ancestors passes through and lives on within his students and lindy partners around the world.

July 26, 2023 Viktor Manoel
Viktor Manoel is the last of his kind – the sole remaining living legend of a small group of friends that were the originators of the dance form Punking; the origin of the dance style known today as Wha(a)cking. Born in the Michoacan region of Mexico, his family moved to Los Angeles at the age of 9 where he would navigate a number of cultural, social and domestic factors that would lead him to the LA underground club scene then to touring with artists like Grace Jones and David Bowie and movies STAYIN ALIVE and BREAKING 2: ELECTRIC BOOGALOO; a testament to the nature vs nurture paradigm – your genetics and experiences shape you but do not define you. After a dormant period away from the culture, the universe brought him back to shed light and pass the torch, informing and inspiring the next generation of punkers and femmepunks to preserve the true history and perpetuate the legacy of the Punking artform and it’s historic influence through the industry and culture.
