Armando "Tito" Tam has spent his life achieving his personal and professional goals using what he calls the "Achieving Dopeness" mindset.

Armando, of Chinese Nicaraguan heritage, immigrated to United States at a young age.  He watched his mother and father sacrifice and work tirelessly to ensure their 3 sons were given an opportunity for a better quality of life.  Armando credits his mother and father for instilling in him at a young age, the values of God, humility, and hard work - no free handouts.  Armando's parents sparked in him the idea that it is OK to dream big as long as you understand the dedication and commitment needed to make your dreams come true.

Armando's passions have always centered around business and cultural identity.  His relentless pursuit of his dreams have allowed him to own his own real estate brokerage firm, perform with Will Smith, collaborate with celebrity chefs like Douglas Rodriguez, become a part of the leadership at the National Association Of Hispanic Real Estate Professionals(NAHREP) as well as partner in other joint ventures such as L'attitude.

Armando is currently working on launching Comidazo, a business platform showcasing his love and passion for food & wine, culture and business.

Armando credits his value of mentorship and unwillingness to compromise his goals as the primary drivers of his success.

Angy firmly believes that “if it does not exist then you must create it.”  In 2015, feeling dismissed as a Dominican American writer in many literary spaces, she decided to create the Dominican Writers Association a 501 c3 non-profit organization solely dedicated to highlighting content that not only promotes the works of Dominican Writers but also provides them with the tools and resources necessary for their development. Angy is the Creative Director of Dominican Writers, and along with the Board, she manages and creates content that serves the Dominican Writers community.
