The Armenian Experience

Join us for a behind the scenes of a favorite meme page, Lavash Life, and get to know the mastermind behind it.

Tigran Tsitoghdzyan is a New York City-based visual artist. He was born in Yerevan, Armenia, in 1976. In 1986, by the age of ten, over hundred of Tigran's childhood paintings were chosen by Henrik Iguityan to be displayed in a solo exhibition in Armenia which thereafter traveled to the US, Russia, Japan and Spain...

Ten years later he migrated to Europe and then later in 2009 to the US. Since then and from New York, his new series, technic and images are experiencing a phenomenal uprise that comprises both art quality and a bold, intriguing, personal expression with a growing resonance on the international scene.

From the Founder:

Mane Method was created with one purpose in mind: to use ingredients that work for you and not against you. Through many years of experiments, experience, and research, I discovered that Batana oil is the holy grail of hair oils.

My hair is an example of what you can achieve with this product. Batana oil reconstructs brittle hair transforming your mane into strong healthy hair you’ve always dreamed of. I believe we all deserve to be the best version of ourselves, no styling needed.

My vision for the company is to bring transparency to haircare, providing only the best of ingredients, for the healthiest results. I believe in quality over quantity.

I had the honour to speak with the Founder of Erebuni Clothing.

Erebuni Clothing, is a clothing company founded in Boston, made in Armenia, that is inspired by ancient Armenian carpet and rug designs, intertwined with modern international fashion patterns, trends and vibes. It is the very first clothing line of its kind, as the designs are completely original, packed with hidden historical messages, stories and symbols, while the material and texture is novel to the clothing type. Its unmatched versatility of color patterns and designs is packed with vibrant energy which opens the door for anyone to tailor to their personal style.

I cannot believe I had the chance to talk to Caroline Mishelle Aghajanian, Senior Video Producer & Host @insider @insiderbeauty. Hangout with us and learn more about her journey and success in a very competitive field.

Tiffany is an amazing changemaker, an activist for inclusivity and positive change! Also she is hilarious. I am so honored to have had the opportunity to meet her through the social media world and connect with her. I can't wait to visit her and meet in person.

Her most famous line that I use in basically every video is

"THERE IS NO ONE WAY TO BE ARMENIAN"

Hoops4Hayastan was started by Garen Spendjian and Matthew Madoian in May of 2017. With our passion for basketball and our homeland of Armenia we have been blessed to be able to travel the world playing this sport. After a few trips to Armenia it is clear that most kids are not as fortunate as us kids and adults in the states. With basketball being a growing passion of many in Armenia, naturally resources and money are hard to come by.

What a discussion with Fred about supporting Armenian businesses. How can we work with each other towards our common goal. Collaboration vs. competition, and more.
