Editor-In-Chief Jennifer Nash introduces the content in this Spotlight issue. Starting with acknowledgements of our fabulous team to whet your appetite. Using a drop of ink to make a million think, has been Jen's motto since she learned how to write professionally, together we can amplify our voices

Editor's Note

This issue’s theme is Social Justice! A subject close to my heart and certainly in my wheelhouse So do bear with me as I attempt to put the world to rights before I join the masses in accepting the status quo.

Following on to the doom and gloom of May as the mental health awareness month, in contrast June is a celebratory month for most of the global north.

MyPOV:In2022,HerMajestyTheQueenwill becomethefirstBritishMonarchtocelebrate aPlatinumJubileeafter70yearsofservice.

For starters, the United Kingdom govt and the Royal family gets ready for pomp and ceremonies as it’s subjects scramble for breadcrumbs under their master’s tables. The irony surrounding this colossal / pricey celebration is that even those of us that have cried poverty over the last three months, from the increased cost of utilities to the ordeal of fuel crisis at the beginning of spring - are a bit reserved about this!

However, the party must go on, and Brits are in good spirits. Regardless of whether or not you’re a Royalist, the atmosphere on the high streets is set with the Union Jack party bunting and decorations to kick off the mood; all that’s remaining is to actually set the tables for serving the popular Coronation Chicken and the good o’l British favorite cream teas. Even tough Royals' critiques are a bit giddy too!

On top of this, “The UK is now the hottest destination among European travellers seeking an escape, after years of restricted movement.”

According Damien Shepherd reporting for Bloomberg online on May 20th.

Despite this celebratory front, my sceptical sentiments remain constant about having such a big national budgetary at the expense of the subjects’ scrambling for breadcrumbs' as echoed by Shepherds words;

“The rising cost of goods is set to strain people’s purchasing power, especially for discretionary purchases like travel.” I can only hope for a better outcome. #POVEnds

Travel advisors and industry partners, including airlines, cruise lines, hotels, resorts, and tour companies from the US and Canada, attended the prestigious event

Activism

Sabrina Tinius, the owner of The Enchanted Traveller, said of the award, “We are thrilled to represent small travel agencies in this category as one of Travel Leaders Network’s most successful affiliate member agencies. This recognition shows that we are serious about taking our vacation planning to a new level. We like to say that it’s not our client’s job to know all the ins and outs of what they want for their family’s dream Disney or tropical trip. It’s our job to help them discover it. We simply love planning the intricate details.”

The Enchanted Traveler and strategic travel plans are synonymous. From the perfect hotels to dining, activities, reservations, and ride-by-ride theme park touring itineraries, custom-curated Disney trip planning helps families avoid vacation stress.

By using a travel advisor tasked with creating an experience that’s as much about relaxation as it is about creating lifetime memories, an easier trip to Disney or a tropical destination is now at the traveler’s fingertips.

ETHEL EMMONS W H O L E B o d y

Her story is one of determination, grit and tenacity. She was born in the Philippines and came to the United States in her 20s, armed with no more than $25 in her pocket, a business degree and a dream to work for Bill Gates. Her dream came true, for the most part. As for the rest? None of that matters - the life she has lived is one she never could have dreamt of.

She attended Executive programs at MBA Cal State U, MIT Sloan, Cornell, Stanford and Columbia Universities. Her drive led her to establish herself as a senior technology executive at one of the top 5 Global Fortune 500 energy companies, a significant accomplishment in itself, given that only 0.35% of these roles are held by Asian Women. Personal experiences and a desire for change led her to leave the corporate world and pursue a different passion: Making quality skincare more inclusive and accessible.

Ethel had struggled for years to find products that complemented her tone and were kind to her sensitive skin, so she set out to create a solution. She earned a Beauty Brand Business Management diploma from Formula Botanica, a leading accredited school for organic cosmetic science in the UK.

In 2020, she launched Skin Beautiful Organics and it is now being distributed throughout the U.S. Her products have been featured in GQ and Vogue and there are no signs of her slowing down.

Ethel can speak on a variety of topics, including her experience in the corporate world and as a diverse woman working in technology, an entrepreneur and a small business owner who launched during the pandemic. She can also discuss speak to the importance of self-transformation and creating your own definition for success. Ethel is incredibly authentic, has a great sense of humor and is so inspiring.

Our Brand Purpose

To make you look and feel beautiful in your own skin

Our Brand Vision

To create the future of beauty from elite and highly potent, yet healthy and non-toxic, ingredients that are good for the body and the environment

Our Brand Mission

To deliver only the best quality of skincare products using innovative natural science to extract the healthy nutrients from plants in a highly-bioavailable format that your body can use in an effective manner, so you can see noticeable results, without toxic inflammations or bio-accumulation

With awards from Fast Company and Neocon already under her belt, Susewitz is on a mission to empower companies with the time and tools to support the circular economy by reducing the environmental waste that often accompanies office relocation.

Thereisnovaccineforsavingtheplanet!

Brandi Susewitz had been in the office furniture industry for over 20 years, when like many folks in the US, Brandi's job was suddenly halted by the pandemic.

The industry that she loved seemed to be uprooted overnight: with the future of the workplace deeply uncertain, no one was buying new office furniture, and the projects she had in her pipeline had been put on hold or canceled When both Brandi and her husband were laid off, she read an article noting that 17 billion pounds of office furniture ends up in landfills each year and spurred thoughts on how she could disrupt the waste culture in the corporate sector that she knew all too well. Dipping into her retirement fund, Susewitz founded Reseat in 2020 to automate and transform the process of reselling high-quality office furniture across the United States

The now award-winning digital platform has revolutionized the lifecycle of commercial furniture with the passionate female CEO at the helm

. In its inaugural year in working with companies like Uber, Oracle, and Yelp, Susewitz led Reseat to save more than 3 million pounds of furniture from the landfill from projects ranging from whole office relocations to outfitting office redesigns. Recently named one of Fast Company's 2022 Most Innovative Companies, Brandi has created both a marketplace platform used to buy/sell/donate pre-owned commercial inventory, along with services for end-to-end support - unlocking a new, viable solution for companies to incorporate sustainable practices when designing or moving workspaces.

Susewitz strives to challenge commercial brands to take actionable steps toward meeting their net-zero goals, provide designers and architects a sustainable high-end marketplace, and support female empowerment- including her daughter

There is no vaccine for saving the planet, we have to act now and think forward ,”states Reseat Founder and CEO Brandi Susewitz. “Our goal is to be both a solution provider and a disruptor to the current commercial disposal culture, which has 99% of office furniture headed for land fills after 5-10 years.

AboutBrandi

Founder and CEO of Reseat, firstof-its-kind, award-winning online marketplace for buyers and sellers of pre-owned upscale office furniture, Brandi Susewitz is truly a visionary and forward-thinker

Seeing white space in the office furniture industry, Susewitz and her husband created a platform that allows furniture dealers and their clients to manage and market furniture months in advance of a milestone the end of a lease, or the beginning of a new one For the full story visit the RESEAT website here

AT TO SEE

only regarded as one of the most beautiful, friendly, diverse and unspoilt countries on the entire African continent. Aside from the majestic Victoria Falls, Zambia has more natural water resources than any other southern African country, including a myriad of other falls dotted across the country, not to mention the famous Zambezi River. The many National Parks offer great opportunities for observing Africa’s plains game and their attendant predators, whilst bustling urban areas offer a taste of eclectic Zambian culture.

Zambia’s game reserves provide pristine sanctuary to a wide variety of wildlife, and boast some of the best game viewing opportunities in the world. From the North and South Parks on the hippo and crocinfested Luangwa River, to the wide expanse of the Lower Zambezi, the vast and little-explored Kafue

While Victoria Falls, not surprisingly, tends to steal the limelight, Zambia has an array of wonderful waterfalls, cascades, rapids, cataracts and flumes on the many rich waterways that dissect the country Zambia is one of the most water-rich countries in Africa and her many rivers cascade into fabulous displays of falling water as they wind over the undulating landscape The most spectacular is of course the not-to-be-missed Victoria Falls, but there are 17 other beautiful falls dotted around the country. Waterfall Tours are becoming a popular trip providing access to these out of the way delights as well as opportunities to see rural village life in Zambia Book Your Private Tour with Sherry
