Not many Canadian know what it’s like to have a song blow up.  Blow up is a good thing in music terms. :)  With 35 millions streams on Spotify - Alx Veliz’ breakout track ‘Dancing Kizomba’ changed everything for him.  Well sort of.   The Canadian label he was signed to was so surprised with his success, they didn’t know what to do.  So guess WHAT they did?  Nothing.  Why?   They didn’t know which box to fit him in.  Honestly. Major success has a way of challenging you, everyone around you, and even challenging the industry you sacrificed everything for to not just accept you, but to celebrate you.  But what do you do when you live in a city known for the toughest fans to win over?  You keep going.  You keep creating.  You keep sharing your gift.  And that’s what Alx is doing. Alx’ fusion of sound, sensibility and serrrrrrrrrrrious talent has him poised to take his ‘World Music’ sound to where it belongs - the world.   Ladies and Gentlemen - Alx Veliz. 🎥 YouTube https://youtube.com/channel/UCmLG_F8lpqUkMt47JmV1PDg 🎤iTunes https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/standing-in-the-6ix/id1450767276 🎤Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/6t4h3kmJu88OiN0zTXQT11?si=s0-A1Yu1SpOhBxYVD00szg

Embrace change!!! With the pandemic wearing many people down, isn’t adjusting to lockdown life enough? Understandable you may be tired. You may be fed up. You may even be depressed, struggling to have any hope that life will return to normal, that YOUR life will one day be full of happiness, full of house guests, full of HUGS… You may have lost your job. Lost your livelihood. Lost your family time. Lost your friendships. Lost your hope. Do you just give up? Like the weather - there are some things you do not control in your life. Yes - just some. Do you run and hide from the rain like it’s acidic and going to kill you? Do you see snow and hibernate? Does the cold, or the heat, or the wind, or the still air prevent you from LIVING? Kevin Barton (Creative Strategist to some household name music artists and worldwide brands) shares professional insight on the importance of PIVOTING. Pivoting means you plant your feet, you change your direction, you prepare your next move, and you explode forward - perhaps in a way you NEVER considered.

In these clips, Joel Gerson reminds us that we can either make excuses or focus on solutions. From the statement, “the only way out is through” to complaining about the cold is an indication of weakness, it’s important for us to remember that no matter the obstacle, we still have choice. The right choices free us from a victim mentality and equip us with the skills necessary to come out victorious. This is what Joel did and this is what he teaches. Ladies and gentlemen, Joel Gerson.

Like Prince Hakeem, Isaac Jr. learned two very important lessons from a young age; the importance of wealth generation and the importance of giving back. These two lessons sew seeds deep within him that together, have blossomed into his life mission. As North America’s fourth largest city, it is no secret that Toronto is burgeoning with opportunity, opportunities usually not as readily available to its black residents. With the creation of BIF (the Black Innovation Fellowship), Isaac has created a movement that strategically provides them with the economic tools they need to flourish, specially in the world of tech. Now partnering with mega brands like Shopify, and BMO, as well as being the CEO of Dream Maker Inc., Issac is doing far more than dominating in the worlds of tech and real estate. He’s ensuring that he elevates countless others in the process. Ladies and gentlemen, Isaac Olowolafe Jr. FOLLOW US ON INSTAGRAM Michael - https://www.instagram.com/michaelreve...

90% of human sex trafficking victims in Canada are born and raised on this very soil. Just ask Rhonelle Bruder.   At the age of 16 Rhonelle first encountered what seemed to be the glamorous and alluring sex world. It was a girl only a few years older than her who was her introduction. She had a condo, a perfectly polished appearance and the finest of everything. It turns out she was also a recruiter. Rhonelle soon found herself caught up in a not so glamorous situation. Luckily for her she was able to escape after a few short months. Now as the creator of the R.I.S.E. Initiative, Rhonelle is helping youth avoid and escape the realities of sexual exploitation, poverty and homelessness. Her light shines brightly on the darkness of a world so few even know exists.

It was almost as if it were predestined. At the very least, it was seared into Mubin's gene pool. He was the grandson of an undercover cop in India, but York region is not India. By day, he was a public school student and by night he went to medresa - Islamic school. It was the perfect storm for an identity crisis and his was a tornado. When Mubin was shamed for a common teenage blunder, he found himself in his Muslim faith. His quest for Allah took him overseas where he came face-to-face with the Taliban. They were just what he was looking for... at least this is what he thought. A belief that came crashing down with the second plane on 9/11. It took 2 years in Syria - studying with Sufi Muslims, to correct his views and bring him inline with his purpose. Now Mubin is following in his grandfather’s footsteps. As an undercover personnel, he worked with CSIS and the RCMP to fight the good fight against terrorism on Canadian soil. Mubin is even featured in the Washington Spy Museum, where they have an entire wall on him and the incredible work he has done.
