Lulu Sicilliano Makes Groundbreaking Contribution to the Beauty Industry

NY Weekly Staff on November 21, 2022

Entrepreneur and beauty enthusiast Lulu Sicilliano is an emerging force to be reckoned with in the beauty industry after introducing two life-changing brands that will forever revolutionize the business. Lulu is the founder of Evenflo Colours and Microbeau – two brands that cemented her name in the beauty industry forever. She has successfully combined innovative technology with her passion for beauty, paving the way for revolutionary brands that a lot of her clients are extremely thankful for.

Evenflo Colours is the world’s first machine-optimized formula that Lulu uses for permanent makeup (PMU) services. The brand offers a wide selection of shades for the lips, eyebrows, eyeliner, and unique pigments lip neutralization. Manufactured by Perma Blend, Evenflo Colours has three major goals: come up with simple and highly effective formulas to take the guesswork out of color mixing, create comprehensive sets with a range of colors that meet all clients’ needs for that technique, and guarantee that each set is precisely designed for different techniques.

Microbeau, on the other hand, engineers innovative products for the PMU industry. One of its biggest objectives is to ensure that the technology is simple yet has the power to enhance a procedure. Lulu co-founded the company with her husband, Gaston, a professional tattoo artist. The creation of Microbeau International was made possible by their knowledge, experience, and collaboration, knowing fully well that a lot of professionals will benefit from them.

Its pillars include state-of-the-art manufacturing equipment designed, engineered, and tested with the artist’s needs in mind. In addition, it strives to develop quality, innovative tools with top performance meant to revolutionize the industry, and with the intent to allow artists to work in a safer environment so they can focus on what’s important – their craft. Interestingly, Microbeau International is ISO 9001 Certified, which simply means the company has met the very high standards of ISO.

When Lulu first arrived in the United States, she was not a fluent English speaker, and she barely had friends to help her transition. She was, however, very determined to make a life in America, and so she hustled until she made it. Ultimately, she was guided by her inner love for beauty and wanted to come up with something that would make the faces of men and women shine with confidence. Lulu is a self-funded innovator and entrepreneur, and she raised it from the profit she accumulated from her existing businesses. She is heavily invested in research and development efforts, which she wants to impart to other women so that they, too, can be empowered to pursue their dreams.

Due to her unique experiences in developing her companies, Lulu has collected several important life lessons that will truly help those who are just starting out with their businesses. Foremost to her list of business tips is to encourage people to continue to dream big and have achievable investments.

“Before beginning any business, one should thoroughly research and fully understand what they are about to undertake. Doing business will not be easy for people who want to rent expensive spaces yet lack a clear strategy and income. There is much to business that involves proper planning and decision-making,” Lulu explained.

Youngest Promoter and Entrepreneur El Princii Takes Over the Carolina Music Scene

NY Weekly Staff on November 21, 2022

Given the right amount of dedication, perseverance, and passion, almost anyone can carve a niche for themselves and build a path toward success. After all, victories are better achieved when one ultimately sets their eyes on the prize. However, success does not happen overnight. Instead, it is a long and arduous process that requires a success-enabling disposition and the resilience and patience to stay in the game, no matter how difficult the path may become – a journey that is ultimately familiar in the eyes of music promoters and events planners El Princii.

Hailing from the vibrant music scenes of Venezuela, Jose Garcia, better known as El Princii, migrated to the United States in 2007. Adjusting to his new home, he noticed little exposure to his culture in the Carolinas, so he set forth to bring the Caribbean sazon and culture to the region, thus coining the moniker “El Princii,” which translates to “the beginning” in Spanish.

Determined to stand on the shoulders of giants and reach smashing success in the music industry, the budding promoter, before setting out independently, worked with UNIQUE ENT and spent the next ten years cementing his hard-won reputation as a promoter/event planner par excellence in the Carolinas. From hosting local parties to shows with local DJs to filling up arenas in North and South Carolina, El Princii has established his brand as the go-to resident promoter for essential venues in the area, such as Limelight and Bond Nightclub.

Staying true to his Caribbean heritage, El Princii has made a name for himself in the Reggaeton music scene. Additionally, he hosts events in other genres, such as Salsa, Dembow, Merengue and Vallenato. Although dominating the Carolinas’ music scenes as the youngest promoter leading the charge, El Princii is far from just being a local champion; in fact, he has expanded his brand to other major cities across the nation, promoting shows on the East Coast in Atlanta, Georgia, Orlando, Florida and Richmond, Virginia to the West coast to Reno, Nevada and San Francisco, California. Simply put, El Princii is one of the leaders in the music industry, considered one of the prominent influencers in the Carolinas, with over 14,000 followers on Instagram.

El Princii attributes his resilient spirit and entrepreneurial skills to his undeniable charisma and charm, which have helped him develop his character and willingness to never quit. He now applies these winning principles to his career, earning respect and trust of OGs in the music industry.

Moving forward, El Princii got big projects coming his way. Starting in 2023, the firebrand music entrepreneur is going global as he prepares to host his first international show in Mexico City with Latin Artist J Alvarez. With this move, El Princii will be established in one of the biggest markets for music: Mexico.

In the coming years, El Princii wants to continue expanding his brand worldwide while inspiring all dreamers and immigrants to aim high and reach for their dreams regardless of the challenges. “Resilience and hard work go hand in hand, and this is just the beginning of a very successful Latino entrepreneur,” he said.

General Qamar Javed Bajwa NI(M), HI(M) – A Pro-Democracy General of the Pakistan Army

NY Weekly Staff on November 21, 2022

General Qamar Javed Bajwa NI(M), HI(M) is the 10th and current Chief of Army Staff of Pakistan. Gen. Bajwa will be retiring on 29 November 2022 after coming into office in 2016. Gen. Bajwa joined Pakistan Military Academy in 1978 and was commissioned in an infantry battalion in 1980. Before Becoming the Chief, he served on various operational command and staff appointments.

As a two-star general, he was the General Commanding Officer of Force Command Northern Areas in Gilgit Baltistan. Later on, he went on to become the Commandant of the School of Infantry and Tactics in Quetta, Balochistan. Gen. Bajwa also had the honor of being an instructor in the School of Infantry and Tactics and Command and Staff College Quetta.

Despite his efforts and hard work for the people of Pakistan and the Pakistan Army, a malicious media propaganda of the Army’s involvement in Political affairs was launched. In Gen. Bajwa’s era, Pakistan’s defense budget went down from 6.50 % of the GDP in the 70’s to 2.54% in 2021. This was the conscious decision taken by the leadership of the armed forces subject to the deteriorating economic condition of Pakistan.

Although the Pakistan army is the seventh largest military in the world, its expenses are the lowest as compared to the armies of comparable size. In contrary to the defense expenditure of $42,000 allocated for one soldier of the Indian army, Pakistan spends $12,500 for one soldier every year. Pakistan’s army gets a paltry 7 percent of the total budget of the country. Despite this meager defense allocation, the army has managed to maintain old equipment and introduce new weapon systems, upgraded technologies, and cyber warfare capabilities.

Under Gen. Bajwa’s command, the Pakistan army has managed to get the country’s relationships with other nations back on track. Gen. Bajwa has played an instrumental role in strengthening Pakistan’s ties with the U.S., China, Middle East and EU. Through his vision, he has played important role in actualization of projects of mutual development and interest including the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC). Despite the frictions on the issues of civil-military relations, Gen. Bajwa will always be remembered as a pro-democracy general who always took the initiative to restrict the military’s role as mandated by the constitution of Pakistan.

Simon Lerner Eases Entry into Stock Trading with NetCon Trading Academy

NY Weekly Staff on November 21, 2022

Often, the volatility and uncertainty of the stock market make us rethink considering it as an investment opportunity. Investing hard-earned savings into something we cannot fully understand can be daunting. So, those in the trading business are characterized to have a high risk appetite and a decisive nature. One of these individuals is Simon Lerner.

Simon Lerner has been doing this since his teenage years. He has gotten into stock trading early. While a risky thing to do at such a young age, Simon did not do so blindly. He was a college student then, studying for a business degree. Even as a teenager, he has taken every opportunity to learn more about stock trading, even listening to podcasts while driving to his classes.

Simon started trading at 18, and since then, he has experienced the difficulties that stock traders go through, having blown several accounts and almost losing $15,000. These setbacks, thankfully, did not deter Simon. Instead, it has fueled his urge to learn more, practice and get the hang of it. When he realized that the insights that were most useful to him were those he gained from outside the classroom, he decided to take matters into his own hands and invested in learning the market.

Today, Simon is now the CEO and Founder of NetCon Trading Academy. He provides resources that any beginner might need when entering the stock trading industry. He focuses on teaching his students the process to become self-sufficient. His community now has more than a thousand members and is only set to grow bigger. He has hosted five major industry events and assisted more students. Through his own experiences, he recognized the industry’s lack of proper guidance and mentorship.

His goal is to develop his students to be self-sufficient and financially literate, whether or not they decide to pursue a career in stock trading or focus on other investments. As a community, NetCon Trading Academy acts as a complete machinery for market analysis, relevant industry news, and multiple strategies. In addition, the NetCon Trading Academy teaches traders how to establish effective trading methods while enhancing their psychological approach to the market.

Aside from a remarkably successful leader at its head, what elevates the academy’s standing as a stock trading educational establishment is the focus on having the right mindset. They understand that timing and the right mindset play a massive part in successfully making sound trading decisions. Because of this, human behavior, emotions, and psychology are incorporated into the Academy’s lessons.

We all love a success story, especially about someone with whom we share a similar background. Simon Lerner’s early entrance and incredible success into the business is undoubtedly a story that will stir interest and call people to learn more. Simon’s life story and NetCon Trading Academy transform stock trading from a downright intimidating and unpredictable investment opportunity into a profitable and exciting discipline. Of course, practice and persistence are still crucial ingredients to a successful investment venture, but the assistance of the right tools and the information that NetCon provides can make or break a crucial trade decision.

No prior exercise training or dance experience is necessary, despite the fact that it is a challenging and effective workout. All people of all different levels of physical fitness and ability can use barre3, which is part of what attracts so many people and motivates them to join their local barre3 studio.

Thank You for all you do and for making this such a great community to be a part of.”

Before she came to devote her full-time career to barre3, Lisa Begley was a career learner with years of experience being part of many different industry teams, assisting and leading in building successful businesses. She spent years traveling and living all over the US, meeting new people, training, teaching and gaining knowledge along the way. This experience is what prepared her to open her own studio, the Barre3 White Oak Studio. This was also brought about by her undeniable desire to live her passion for helping others find success and happiness, as well as her incredible love affair with barre3.

Lisa likes to say, “It’s therapeutic sweat sesh! We promote mindfulness to encourage a healthy mind, strength to give you confidence, and cardio to build your endurance. We boost self-compassion, and we’re redefining what success in fitness looks like. It’s not about the before and after picture. We build a community of acceptance, grace, and support.

On her off time, Lisa and her husband, Trent, spend a lot of time in their ski boat. All their grown children grew up on the water, doing all sorts of water activities. Their ever-expanding family is raising their grandchildren the same way. The Begleys live with their loyal dachshunds, Bella Boo, 2 years old, and Lucy, 16 years old.

Getting access to the hottest and most exciting parties in LA can be a bit tricky when partygoers do not have the right connections. After all, it is mostly connections that get people into nightclubs and bars in Los Angeles. When it comes to going to the best parties in the area, no one knows it better than Shaheen Sheeti, also known as HabibiCheeks, who is known to be a party promoter extraordinaire.

It turned into hundreds & sometimes thousands of people on special private event occasions requesting to come. I kept building the roster of people I can bring to the clubs for over two years. I would stay in contact with everyone mainly on Instagram & went by the name @habibicheeks. Through this, I built a strong relationship with H.Wood which allowed me access to their private events to build my connections in the scene & make their clubs even more lit.”

H.Wood is notorious for hosting private events for major celebrities such as Bruno Mars’ SelvaRey (rum) launch event where Zack Bia DJ’d.

Can YouTuber Danny Duncan Change The Way We Play?

NY Weekly Staff on November 21, 2022

Danny Duncan is onto his newest venture, Good Sport, where his manager Stefan Toler and himself teamed up with the Forbes 30 Under 30 creators of CROSSNET, Chris and Greg Meade, Michael Delpapa and their CFO, Chris Koop.

Duncan has nearly 7 million subscribers on YouTube and more than 20 million across all social media channels. He also sells apparel in an online store, Danny Duncan 69, and mass retailers such as Zumiez and Spencers. CROSSNET is one of the fastest growing backyard sports and is now sold in more than 3,500 stores such as Dick’s Sporting Goods, Academy Sports, Sam’s Club and more!

Duncan announced the partnership in one of his latest YouTube videos. The other partners in the venture are Chris Koop, CROSSNET’s CFO and Stefan Toler, Duncan’s manager.

The goal of Good Sport is to change the way we play and disrupt the sporting goods industry with the influencer-led brand by providing alternatives to dated backyard games. He has experience in the sports world, having worked with the NFL and playing in a recent celebrity pickleball tournament.

The brand plans to roll out a series of 30-40 games over the next year or two, such as SmashNet, which combines roundnet and ping pong; Bubble Bash, where players wear inflatable suits, bump off each other and fall to the ground; and backyard pong, an oversized beer pong game. They plan to roll out the products in stores such as Academy; Scheel’s, the Midwestern sporting goods chain, and Dick’s Sporting Goods, in spring 2023. In the meantime, they are selling the first three games through their website.

The partnership came together when the CROSSNET team reached out to Duncan with an offer to advertise. Finding they had a lot in common, they got to brainstorming, which led to an in-person meeting at Danny’s home where they started to come up with new products together. They had soon agreed to create a sporting goods company together.

The partnership will allow the company to promote the products on Duncan’s social channels, providing a strong competitive advantage, not only on the DTC side, but in-retail as well. Duncan, known for his comedic videos, has a big following among the youth, which he’ll be able to take advantage of and do in-store meet and greets like he currently does for clothing merchandise.

Be on the lookout for more from Good Sport, the newest creator led brand whose mission is to change the way people play.

Award-Winning Activist Jack Liang Continues to Fight to Stop Asian Hate Crimes

NY Weekly Staff on November 21, 2022

Asian-American entrepreneur and anti-racism activist Jack Liang is a well-known figure when it comes to fighting discrimination and protecting the rights of Asian Americans. The hate crimes directed towards Asians in the United States increased during the height of the pandemic as other people blamed them for causing COVID-19. Jack used his influence to raise awareness for that injustice and promote acceptance and unity at a difficult time in the world’s history.

Jack was responsible for organizing the largest recorded Asian-American rally called Rally Against Hate, which happened in Columbus Park, New York, on 16 March 2022. The rally saw an attendance of 10,000 people supporting the call to stop the hate crimes. Not long after the Columbus Park event, Jack went on to organize the Time Square Takeover, a rally with hundreds marching on Broadway, including Rihanna. In that particular initiative, all the billboards at Time Square lit up with Stop Asian Hate messages, the ripples of which were felt across the globe.

Seeing the need to create more awareness for worthy causes, Jack organized more rallies, including Voting for Justice, Stop the Mega Jail, and Save Afghan Lives, to mention a few. In April this year, Jack was among the ten protesters arrested by authorities after kneeling down in front of the construction of the world’s tallest mega jail in Chinatown, NYC. To express the community’s dislike of the project and how it would gravely affect the neighborhood, they attempted to stop bulldozers before the construction began.

Despite the criticism hurled against him, Jack continues to passionately promote the causes he supports. Just this year, he partnered with Theodore Lu and former presidential candidate Andrew Yang to introduce the first-ever social activism DAO – dubbed by Coindesk. Their project, known as GoldenDAO, uses web3 technology for social good.

Jack’s parents are Chinese immigrants who chose to move to the United States so they could have a second child. Back in the 80s, China was strictly implementing the one-child policy. Jack was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. As Asians, they were constantly discriminated against, and Jack had to deal with hostilities on the streets, even as a young boy.

In May 2021, for AAPI Heritage month, Jack was awarded a State Senate Proclamation by NY State Senator John Liu for his extraordinary contributions to his city and state. In addition, in May 2022, he was named Top 50 Unsung Hero by Asian Hustle Network. Despite his current success, he is committed to the causes he supports and will continue to fight for them passionately.
