Q: Who is Juniper Jillian Joy and what are three words that you would use to describe yourself?

A: I am the “Inner Child Warrior.”

Juniper is my inner child’s name. Jillian is the teacher in me. Joy is what I intend to bring to myself and everyone everywhere through my books and sharing openly, vulnerably and intimately.

Q: What inspired your pivot from blues artist to life coach and financial strategies to now an Author and an advocate for inner child healing?

A: I spent most of my whole life fragmented due to childhood emotional trauma that caused me to be emotionally unavailable and stunted. As I healed my trauma, I healed my inner child and became whole within myself. I could no longer live the life I had been living. I went from a life of limitations to limitless possibilities that can only be described as miraculous. It’s just too amazing to keep to myself! I want everyone to know how to heal their inner child so that everyone everywhere can live in peace, love and joy!

Q: You have overcome many trials from your childhood and your former marriages. What motivated you to keep going?

A: I have always enjoyed learning. Once I transformed my life, I no longer needed outside validation, motivation or inspiration. I knew I was living my divine path, plan and purpose. Now I have the assurance of peace, love and joy in all areas of my life, knowing I am my own True North along my new journey inside myself, for myself, to myself. My motivation is my desire to serve others as a teacher and guide.

Q: Tell us about The First Story of Intentions: The Introduction to the Inner Child.

A: The First Story of Intentions is written as a fantasy fiction fable based on true events in my life that have been carefully crafted and woven into of each main character to show the complexity yet simplicity of situations that we all experience throughout our lives that leads to self-acceptance, self-discovery and self-awareness as the guide to self-trust, self-love and self-care building hope, faith and believe through our own perception.

Q: How has your faith influenced your work?

A: I have found faith to be two-fold for me. My faith in God helped build my internal faith for self. Being raised Pentecostal by my mother who was a spiritual warrior, a leader, a beautiful singer, beautiful inside and out, a prophetess and processed an amazing wisdom far beyond her years, just like her mother, the prayer warrior. My mother loved unconditionally. It was felt by everyone that ever met her. By having these two powerful women in my life and growing up with my mother teaching me how to recognize and use my gifts and talents with empathy as I see the blockages that hold people back from their intended destiny. Being present to see and feel my granny and mother talk to God in prayer, guide others to God’s love and light was the very foundation that has made me…me! I know I’ve lived on my granny and mothers’ prayers long after they passed away. I knew there would come a time that I had to take responsibility for myself. My journey began when I lost my voice for a solid year and told God, “If you give me voice back, I will use it for you!” After a year of speech therapy, my voice came back stronger than ever before and now I am the voice for the voiceless as I live, teach others through my songwriting, singing and writing my books to heal their inner child until each person can find their voice, speak their truth, stand in their power and create healthy boundaries and limitations in all areas of life through the inner child connection.

How Health and Technology is Allowing Yusuf Henriques to Innovate the Podcast Industry

Written by The Recap Report Staff on December 2, 2022. Posted in Business, Health and Beauty, Influential People.

As a lifelong advocate for minorities, Yusuf Henriques is a GeneUs who was able to create innovations to create solutions across multiple industries with his background in health and technology. He is now using his previous experiences to innovate a market that’s virtually uninhabited by those communities– the podcast market. As co-founder of the ALIVE Podcast Network, he successfully blends health, tech, and entertainment as a leader and host to elevate the community once again.

Henriques is a Jamaican native who was destined to be a dominant force in the STEM industry. From an early age he was intrigued by the industry. He knew the periodic table by age 8 and was always fascinated with chemistry and physics. Yusuf says he spent a lot of time watching popular scientist Doogie Howser. He blew through medical school at 12 and went on to help senior scientists and medical doctors discover disease and other medical conditions affecting his area.

This would inspire him to create the innovative healthcare brand IndyGeneUS which helps to solve disparities in Black and Brown Communities. He notes that these groups were affected by the pandemic 4x more than the majority in the US and he found that the underlying condition was the lack of government funding causing major devastation to those communities. Yusuf even spoke on this for MIT’s Hacking Racism Listening Summit where they tried to hack some of the structural racism in healthcare. He was later inspired to create the same impact in a new market.

Yusuf’s extensive career has allowed him to work across multiple industries, most recently the streaming industry. After the height of the pandemic, Yusuf met and partnered with ALIVE Podcast Network CEO Angel N. Livas to combine their efforts of elevating Black and Brown communities in a unique way.

With social media being a great way to express yourself and share content, there was a common theme presented with each platform- the lack of protection and capitalization for the Black and Brown communities. As an advocate for Black and Brown communities, Yusuf states that the company’s target audience and mission was the driving factor for supporting the double minority owned imprint.

The ALIVE Podcast Network provides a safe haven to minority creatives while educating them on protecting their content and putting dollars in their pockets. They proudly introduce a unique, user-friendly experience whether you’re a subscriber or host. This is represented in their e-commerce market where they can monitor buying patterns to rotate wealth with the community. Hosts can also receive podcast education, and share a 50% revenue split with their host.

Not only does Yusuf serve as an executive for the platform but he also doubles as a host with the Gene-US Health Minute. He and Livas break down sophisticated medical terms and what they mean for us in 5 minutes or less.

As an active advocate walking in his purpose, Yusuf’s efforts are leaving an impact in our daily lives. He states he wants his legacy to be that “I want to leave the world a little better than he found it.” His impact is sure to help Black and Brown creatives catapult economically.

Why Janice Laws Robinson is the people’s choices as the next Insurance Commissioner of Georgia

Written by The Recap Report Staff on September 17, 2022. Posted in Influential People, Lifestyle, Trending.

This year voters in several states are headed to the polls to select their next set of representatives. One of those states includes Georgia, where one of their races is very historical. Candidate Janice Laws Robinson is the Democratic Nominee in what could be a monumental race for The Commissioner of Insurance and Fire Safety. With over two decades of insurance under her belt, Janice is running to help create a more quality and sustainable Georgia. Janice is well versed in all lines of insurance and actively helps families rebuild their lives.

Janice Laws Robinson, Democratic Nominee for Insurance and Fire Safety Commissioner of Georgia

Coming from a service background, it was a no-brainer that Janice would select a career that would allow her to change lives. She states, “when I became a Georgian over two decades ago, it was an opportunity to serve my community and take on a new career in a new industry… it [insurance] became a way for me to interact with people and serve others with their needs.” She is now tackling this issue head-on at a larger scale in her candidacy for Insurance Commissioner.

As an active insurance professional, she has seen the direct impact of the skyrocketing insurance premiums on Georgia families. She notes insurance is not a party issue but a people issue, as this office can affect everyone’s daily lives. She says if there is a crisis, someone has to stand up and handle the problem and realize that she was that “someone.” Currently, Georgia has some of the highest auto insurance premiums in the country and over 1.4 million citizens without access to health insurance, and a tedious claims process.

Janice’s campaign focuses on 3 A’s- Affordability, Accessibility, and Accountability:

She will work to provide affordable insurance premiums, access to affordable health care, and hold insurance companies accountable.

She first ran for office in 2018, where she became the Democratic Nominee and came within 3 percent of winning. She credits her successful run to those who understood her commitment to the people of Georgia. Janice views this opportunity as “the next level of serving my industry and doing the greater good for a larger number of people.” This year’s race is historic as it could be a year of many firsts. Janice would be the first African American woman to serve in this capacity, and Janice would be the first Democratic Insurance Commissioner since 1994.

If selected as Georgia’s next Insurance and Fire Safety Commissioner, her duties would include:

Regulating insurance prices
Holding insurance accountable
Issuing licensing for individuals hoping to practice insurance
Overseeing fire safety, such as ensuring buildings are safe and preventing fire hazards

Looking from 2018 to now, Janice has learned a lot. She realized if the people are for you, then nothing else matters. Her focus remains clear, and she is staying strong. To learn more about Janice, follow her on social media @janiceforgeorgia and visit her website at janiceforgeorgia.com.

Industry Veteran Set to Premiere “Two Classes of 1968” Doc at 2022 BronzeLens Film Festival

Written by The Recap Report Staff on August 23, 2022. Posted in Entertainment, Influential People.

Veteran TV & film development executive and producer Nichelle Protho is proud to premiere her directorial debut “Two Classes of 1968,” a poignant documentary and important untold story of black history, in the upcoming 13th Annual BronzeLens Film Festival. Amidst the backdrop of the civil rights movement, the film, produced and written by Protho along with co-writer Monice Mitchell Simms and narrated by Hill Harper (“The Good Doctor,” “Get on the Bus”), chronicles a group of African-American Catholic school students from Immaculate Conception Academy High School (ICA) in Augusta, Georgia who became unwitting agents of social change as the first group to integrate Aquinas High, an elite white Catholic school. “The debate around Critical Race Theory has only increased my passion about being historically literate, and especially about my community and its people.” says Nichelle Protho.

“Two Classes of 1968” tells the story of a close-knit group of childhood friends & students from the Golden Blocks neighborhood – a proud & self-sustaining Black community near the Savannah River. This bubble provided a safe haven for its children, free from the darker realities of racism and the residual affects of post slavery era Jim Crow. However, when the powerful arms of the Catholic Church intersected with the Brown vs Board of Education Decision, they were forced to leave behind their school and the nuns that loved them just before their senior year.

“This film not only serves as a historical document, it provides an exceptional jumping off point for frank discussions of race today. It is a perfect resource for every age, but especially useful in secondary school settings,” says Joseph Floyd, M.D., executive producer and member of the class of 1968. “Although this is a story about the past, it encourages important discussion about today’s issues and it resonates courage and perseverance that is incredibly relevant today,” added Terrye Thompson, executive producer and member of the class of 1968.

Prior to premiering at the BronzeLens Film Festival, the film has received tremendous support from the city of Augusta, the Augusta Museum of History, Catholic Diocese of Savannah and the historical Imperial Theater.

About the festival: BronzeLens Film Festival is a non-profit organization, founded in 2009, that is dedicated to bringing national and worldwide attention to Atlanta as a center for film and TV production for people of color. The mission of BronzeLens is two fold: to promote Atlanta as the new film mecca for people of color; and to showcase films and provide networking opportunities that will develop the next generation of filmmakers.

The documentary screens on Friday, August 26th at 11:00am ET in Theater 3 at the IPIC Theater Colony Square in Midtown Atlanta. Film festival pass registration and event tickets are available at: https://bronzelens.eventive.org/schedule/two-classes-of-1968-62da29ac8cc26d005c5a6e3a

For the past five years, Matte Collection has been taking the swimsuit industry by storm. While the brand is an international ovation, little was known about the visionary behind the brand until now!

Meet Justina, the creative designer and founder of the insta-famous brand Matte Collection. Founded in 2017, the brand has endured immense success and after a successful Swim Week show in Miami, the creative and her sleek designs are here to stay.

Hailing from a small town in Ohio, the young designer has always had a passion for fashion. Justina grew up surrounded by entrepreneurs where she gained first and secondhand experience.

Over time, the designer noticed that her swimwear designs were a tremendous success and would birth the booming brand that we have known and come to love today.

Fast forward to 2017, Matte Collection made its impactful debut.

Matte Collection prides itself on embracing clean, simple, minimalist clothing. The diverse brand is forward-thinking, offering a wide array of colors and designs to cater to every woman.

Inclusivity is imperative in every aspect of the design process with Justina on record as saying, “when I’m designing, if I’m using a certain color palette, animal prints, or whatever the case may be, I try to include a piece that will go across several different body types.

“[I want to give] several different body types an opportunity to buy from that collection and be happy it is fitting to their shape.”

Besides their sleek and sexy swimwear, the brand also offers fashionable swim accessories and their neutral Matte Basix Athleisure line, which includes dresses, jumpsuits, bodysuits, and more.

Some of our favorite celebrities and influencers have sported the brand, including La La Anthony, Meagan Good, Angela Simmons, and more, who have collaborated with the brand. This summer, the brand is a triple threat releasing three viral swimsuits collections- Confidence Campaign, Resort, and Island Tropics.

How a Destiny’s Child Hit and Veganism birthed America’s New Favorite Vegan Restaurant, Kale My Name

Written by The Recap Report Staff on July 7, 2022. Posted in Food, Influential People, Lifestyle.

Leading healthier lives has been a huge topic of discussion, especially since the rise of the global pandemic. People are looking to be more sanitary, active, and conscious of what they put in their bodies. One of those ways is being conscious of the foods we put into our bodies. Kale My Name is an innovative, award-winning vegan restaurant bringing culture and fun to lifestyle. Founded by Nemanja Golubovic, the restaurant became an instant success while gaining praise from some of today’s biggest stars. With two critically acclaimed locations in Chicago and Los Angeles, Kale My Name is soon to become a worldwide phenomenon.

Golubovic is a native of Montenegro and a worldly individual living in Spain, Mexico, and the middle east, to name a few places. These experiences would help him create his vegan empire. He fell into hospitality by looking for a job after immigrating to America and held many different positions. The connections he made and the responses he received from his customers would prompt him to start his independent venture in the industry. These experiences would help him create his vegan empire.

The Chicago-based Kale My Name became an immense success when doors officially opened in April 2020. The establishment got its catchy name from the hit 1999 Destiny’s Child record ‘Say My Name.’ Golubovic recalls that time saying, “I was listening to the song while creating the menu and thought, this song is catchy.” The popular restaurant chain acquired its notoriety as being “100% plant-based”. With their inclusive thinking, he adopted his brand’s mantra “vegan for the animals, for our health, and the earth”. The establishment received a neighborly welcome during the opening weekend, running through 500+ to-go bags that the CEO originally purchased assuming it would remain for a minimum of three months. Initially projecting $200 – $300 daily revenue within two years, “Kale My Name” made over 4 million dollars in sales which, landed them one of the most successful vegan restaurants in America.

When asked about the vegan component of his restaurant, Nemanja notes it was important because he is vegan. “I went vegan for many reasons, the main one being animals. I watched some things and decided they were not cool. He also had a calling to preserve life by helping the world become better, stating, “I felt like I’ve been given a bit more in life, and I felt like my life started to look good. I figured maybe this is my time to give something back and do something permanent to make a better place.” Ultimately, the goal is to be authentic to who he is.

Kale My Name separates itself through their love, joy, and compassion, not for only the animals but for humans as well. They amplify this movement with social media, allowing customers to see the innovative changes and to learn about the people behind the brand. These successful efforts have allowed patrons to feel more connected. The restaurant has success with its range of international cuisines, including its pioneering vegan mozzarella cheese sticks.

Founder Nemanja Golubovic and Tabitha Brown (Photo Credit: Kale My Name Instagram)

Their tasty menu and message have resonated with many, including renowned Actress Tabitha Brown. During the duration of her residence in Chicago, she converted into a uniformed consumer and fan of “Kale My Name”. Tabitha fell in love with the food and restaurant and developed she and Golubovic developed a friendship. Following the rapping of Brown’s show, she became disheartened to leave Chicago. Realizing she wouldn’t be eating at “Kale My Name”, Tabitha suggested Golubovic bring Kale My Name to Los Angeles, to which Golubovic agreed. The second location in Los Angeles, California, opened its doors in December 2021 with the video from the opening acquired over 1.7 million views on Tabitha’s viral TikTok handle. Nemanja, who is a fan of Brown, says, “that moment meant a lot, especially from someone I love.” Other notable names have endorsed the establishment, including Living Single’s Kim Fields, Hidden Figures’ Octavia Spencer, Claw’s Karrueche Tran, and many others!

The end goal for Nemanja is to “change the way people view plant-based food, one meal at a time.” He says people do not have to restrict themselves when becoming vegan and suggests doing things he didn’t, including researching and exploring more about veganism. Kale My Name is currently planning to work on fun projects with bigger plans coming in 2023. You can keep up with Nemanja and all the excitement from Kale My Name on Instagram @kalemyname @nekac_golubovic and Facebook: @kalemyname, @nekac_golubovic.
