  • Interview w/ the Psychic Lawyer Mark Anthony ft. VA Fashion Week's Ann Leister of Splash Models
    Everyone has heard of Lawyers, many people have heard of Psychics, but how many people have heard of a Psychic Lawyer? GaptoothDiva meets with Mark Anthony, an Oxford educated attorney who happens to be a medium descended from a long line of psychics and mediums. Although he has inherited the ability to communicate with spirits, he did not go public until he experienced an unexpected death in the family, which became the catalyst for Mark to embrace his abilities openly. Since that time, he has worked conscientiously to expand his psychic and mediumistic gifts to the fullest potential. He has consulted and studied with some of the most prolific mediums and psychics of our time. Mark has also studied mediumship in England at the prestigious Arthur Findlay College for the Advancement of Psychic Science.
    Mr. Anthony is also a successful attorney and certified mediator, licensed to practice law in Florida, Washington D.C., and before the United States Supreme Court. He earned his law degree from Mercer University in Georgia and studied law at Oxford University, England. In his capacity as an attorney, Mark has used his psychic and mediumistic abilities to help people heal. He relates to each client on a personal level, and his positive, personable demeanor is an uplifting influence for clients coping with the aftermath of a life-threatening, life-changing, or life-ending trauma. Mark Anthony’s upcoming book, “Let Go of Sorrow, Hold on to Love: Healing Grief with Help from the Other Side,” is scheduled for release in June 2011 by Llewellyn Worldwide Publishing.
    Featuring Ann Leister from Splash Model Management & VA Fashion Week. Ann Leister is the owner and director of Splash Model Management and has produced or co-produced multiple fashion shows

  • Interview with Business Turnaround Specialist, Darshan G. Shanti “The 24 Hour Champion”
    Gaptoothdiva talks with Darshan G. Shanti in the hopes of motivating business owners and entrepreneurs all over the country.
    Darshan G. Shanti, “The 24 Hour Champion” is a Business Turnaround Specialist: His particular expertise is working with small to mid-sized businesses that are actively dying and bringing them back to life in 24 hours…or less. Whether he’s on the stage speaking to 1000s, tightly huddled together in a small group workshop, or working one on one with a CEO, Darshan will transform your most important, valuable assets and the real bottom line… your people.
    The 24 Hour Champion Says...
    “The problems in your life occur because you have deep, unconscious, negative and limiting beliefs about yourself. Dr. Phil calls these beliefs ‘tapes’. He says, “Tapes are long-held, lightening fast, automatic thoughts that program you for a specific outcome, oftentimes without you being aware of it. They are a natural and uncontrollable reflex and work as independently as your organs."
    The 24 Hour Champion has been described by the hosts of local radio, TV and internet shows as a dynamic, passionate, fun, powerful, extremely knowledgeable and informative guest. Whether the hosts are doing stories and interviews on coming back against all odds, (overcoming adversity) eliminating stress, helping students do better in school, being a peak performer (being a 24 hour champion) like his transformational book, The 24 Hour Champion talks about, or turning your life and/or your business around in hours, not years, he is your expert. His expertise in personal development, transformation and behavior change comes from his 20 years of real world experience working with over 30,000 people, from school age to people in their 80’s. As a transformational speaker, Darshan has developed a wealth of stories, knowledge and poignant, memorable ways to share them to educate, entertain and permanently transform his audiences.

  • Interview w/ Authors Kimberley Johnson & Ann Werner of The Virgin Diaries
    How many of us remember our first sexual experience, whether good or bad, and think about specific moments we would either change or do again if we could?
    Hundreds of years of collective experience answer the questions every virgin has. THE VIRGIN DIARIES is a book about sex that really isn't about sex at all. Rather, it's about the feelings associated with that first time: wondering about it, worrying about it, the expectations, the surprises and the disappointments. Within these pages are the recollections of seventy-two people, young and old, gay and straight, who responded to the call for answers. This candid collection of stories provides a unique opportunity to be a fly on the wall. There is no commentary. The stories stand on their own, allowing the reader to form his or her own conclusions. Whether you are a virgin and desire to make an informed decision, a parent faced with "the talk" or are interested in reading detailed accounts of one of life's most personal experiences, THE VIRGIN DIARIES offers confidential insights and illustrates the commonalities we all share: our hopes, dreams, fears and insecurities. It shows that we are all human and therefore, all connected.
    Kimberley A. Johnson and Ann Werner are a mother/daughter writing team. Both women worked on the popular daytime drama Days of Our Lives for over seven years. In 2004, Kimberley came up with the idea for The Virgin Diaries and over a period of time, Ann came on board.
    Both women started the company Ark Stories to continue making books written by John and Jane Q. Public, exploring the human experience. The Virgin Diaries was created originally for virgins to make informed decisions about sex as well as for parents who want to help educate their kids. The pair have been pleasantly surprised to find that men and women forty-five and up are really connecting to the stories.

    African Americans have the highest HIV infection rates in the United States. African Americans only make up 12% of the population, but almost half of the new HIV cases are African Americans. These numbers are very disproportionate and because HIV is such a taboo subject in the African American community many people are not getting the message.
    International AIDS Activist, Hydeia Broadbent, shared her thoughts after reading “The Safe Sex Kit”; “I think it will help more people think about HIV/AIDS and STDs in their sexual relationships and also think about practicing safer sexual activities.”
    HIV education and prevention is not only Dangerous Lee’s job, it is also her passion. Keep Your Panties Up and Your Skirt Down combines her passion for HIV prevention with her passion for the written word. Dangerous Lee is also an actress, internet radio personality, painter, and an activist for child sex abuse.

After threes years of Colorado life, Freeze moved back to a middle class suburb in Richmond, but the influence of the streets stayed with him. Graduating high school with a 3.2 GPA was matched by his graduation in the criminal underworld; from petty crimes to nickel bags, and eventually large quantities of hard narcotics. A 2002 acceptance to V.A. Tech was quickly put to halt with his first drug arrest. Linking up with fellow Tech dropout and M.C. Renazance, Freeze recorded his first album Freezer Burn. After selling 1000 units, Freeze began working on his next project. Tha Introduction, a mix-tape with many local artists, generated a buzz amongst the underground Tri cities area.
