We're very excited about this month's cover, Bantamweight Champion Julianna Peña who will be fighting Amanda Nunes in the title fight in Dallas on Jul 30th for UFC277. This anticipated rematch is one we'll be glued to and just ahead of it, we took some time to catch up with the 'Venezuelan Vixen' herself! We wanted to know about her journey in the MMA, being the first woman to win The Ultimate Fighter Season 18, joining the UFC, being a coach on Season 30 of The Ultimate Fighter, and how she trains to be Octagon ready! ATHLEISURE MAG: What led you to MMA and when did you fall in love with the sport? JULIANNA PEÑA: When I was 19 years old, my sister asked me to join a women’s cardio kickboxing class with her and I needed to lose some weight, so I joined the class. It came naturally to me and I wanted to explore it more. I immediately fell in love with it. And when I eventually started winning fights, the joy combined with the rush of winning solidified my obsession for MMA.
sus competing and what does it mean to you to work with those who are coming up and to give them the tools that they need to operate at their best? JP: It was really interesting to be a 135lb woman giving advice to male MMA fighters twice my size! It was a little strange at first because I wasn’t sure how they would take my advice when we’re in very different divisions with different disciplines. But it soon became second nature. It was exciting to see them grow but it was also difficult getting to know them, their strengths/ weaknesses, and then having to see them get eliminated. It was also very interesting to coach against Amanda because I was able to get a better understanding of her approach and methods, whereas before, I had only known what it was like to be fighting against her in the cage. AM: We always like talking about workouts that athletes do that optimize their work in the sport, what are 3 workouts that you do?

AM: What did you learn about competing AM: What is a typical training session/ on The Ultimate Fighter and becoming the day like for you and how is it different first woman to win in Season 18? when you are preparing for a fight? JP: I learned that I still had so much more to learn, and that I still do. Not only is every fighter different, every FIGHT is different. Because as I’m learning and growing, so are my competitors. It taught me to never feel as though I know everything. There is always more to learn, more room to grow, more fights to win, and more fighters to challenge ahead. Always a student of the game.
JP: I train 2-3 times a day except on Sundays when I’m not in camp. I train MMA a few times a week but not nearly at the pace I do while I’m at camp. AM: When it comes to training, how important is the mental aspect of it to you and how do you strengthen that area?

JP: I’m actually already in Dallas! I got in earlier this week. Fight week is always a bit crazy – there are media interviews, press conferences, weighins, and more.
AM: In looking at your IG, we loved seeing your daughter Isa standing with you when you were doing promos for your fight last year or even when you’re training in the gym. It reminded me of being able to watch my mom work when she owned her own couture boutique. I think it’s powerful for kids to be able to see what their parents do. How is it to balance your duties as a mom, training, being a champion fighter and also building other areas of your brand/portfolio?
And all of that is still in addition to an even more intense training schedule. Put it this way, I can’t wait to enjoy a bit of free time and sleep next week! AM: After a fight, what do you do as you come down from all the energy and focus that you needed in the Octagon?
JP: Other than enjoying my victory?? I enjoy time with my daughter!!! That’s the easiest way to come down from that adrenaline rush that comes with JP: Thank you!

JP: I would love to be remembered for my ability to bring home victories even when the odds are stacked against me; being able to have opened the doors and break barriers for other working mothers. If you believe in yourself and are determined enough, there’s no reason that you can’t have it all. I dream of being inducted into the UFC Hall of Fame one day. @venezuelanvixen PHOTOGRAPHY CREDITS | Pillar Marketing Corporation
Music has immense value, from enjoying the song, melody and instruments used, to the artists, performances and remixes there is a much larger scope in terms of what it means to the social fiber and how in many ways it serves as a mirror of who we are, where we want to be and how we are held accountable. It creates a series of feelings and memories that are enlightened and intertwined. We had the pleasure of talking with the President and CEO of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, Greg Harris. In addition to their noted Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame Induction Ceremony which honors a class of musicians across rock & roll, they are known for the museum which is headquartred in Cleveland, Ohio. We wanted to know more about the museum, how they connect with music enthusiasts around the world and how artists can become eligible for the honor. Greg also shares how he came to this role and how he continues to drive the importance of impact in music. ATHLEISURE MAG: Before we delve into your work and role at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, I’d love to know about your background because I know you were the owner, partner and operator of the Philadelphia Record Exchange. When did you fall in love with music and what was your focus behind opening this retail store? GREG HARRIS: You know, I grew up, per your readers loving both sports and music! I was fortunate to be raised to play various sports depending on the season with two brothers. On the music side, it just always spoke to me. We always had music in the house and in Philadelphia, the area where I grew up, new music and old music mixed together. So oldies and FM radio were all the same. I got involved a little bit with one of the local public radio stations when I was in high school. Then we had a club near us called City Gardens and it had every live band and we went there as soon as we were old enough to get in! We were there all the time! Then, I
went to Temple University and one of my off-campus jobs to help pay for school was the record department of a used bookstore. That’s where the idea came from that the other clerk and I were friends and we realized that the store owner was making a lot more money than we were as the hourly employees! So we quit and rented out a storefront about a half a block away and we opened our own store. That business has been a great success! I was involved for a couple of years and sold my half to some other people, but my original partner still has it. The Philadelphia Record Exchange has been around for 30 years and it’s an iconic place in the city. Every musician knows it, everybody that is into music when they are in Philly, they find their way to the store and that includes current artists like Kurt Vile and other folks back in the day, like Ahmir Khalib Thompson – Questlove. I think an important thing to note in terms of looking at my career is that I found out pretty early on that I couldn’t play very well. I could play some guitar, but I was never that great. But I was always better at helping other people market and grow. So the store became that place. We would put concerts on, we’d shut the streets down and do block parties and promotions with artists and other musicians. We just loved helping them succeed and helping our customers find excitement and joy. AM: It’s so funny, I grew up my dad was a huge record collector and he would slap my hands every time I would try to go to the stereo to play with the records and at my campus at Indiana University, we had 3 record shops near my campus, Tracks was my favorite one. There is something about a record, I love them and when you hear the sound that comes out and the needle hitting the vinyl – it’s an experience. When I read that about you, I thought that’s really cool! GH: Those stores back then, that was kind of the social network. It's where
you met like-minded people that loved the same music or liked similar music. It’s where you learned! You couldn’t Google everything so sometimes the customers taught you and you taught them! AM: Especially if you were able to come up with crazy imports. I think there’s something about that social fiber when you don’t have that independent local record store. The guy that I would get my music from knew so many things about various artists and had stories to tell and I appreciated it. I don’t remember if they had block parties but it would have been amazing! GH: I really want to celebrate my original partner, who still has it Jacy Webster and he has given such a gift to Philadelphia music lovers for the last 30+ years, it’s an amazing place! AM: Another part of your background that’s interesting is I love your focus on curation. To know that you were at the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum at Cooperstown where you focused on curation was really interesting. Can you tell us about what your role was there, what you did, and why curation was so important? GH: My first significant museum position was at the National Baseball Hall of Fame. I was originally hired to be there Broadcast Media Archivist. My job was to curate the broadcast collection and that was recordings of All Star games, World Series games, home movies, radio pieces – all the things where that exciting history of baseball is. In museums, they have to take their collections and tell stories with them. You want to tell the stories where you have impact to your visitors and to make those connections and that’s what we did in Cooperstown. You know, it’s an amazing museum. I started in that area, I was fortunate to be able to curate some exhibits and much like the record store, I got involved in business development and fundraising and things like sponsorhship and inductee relations. It really helped to grow the business and as I advanced from
the collections side of the house, I got more involved in business development and the growth of the enterprise. I spent 14 terrific years there and it was really hard to leave. It’s a wonderful museum. Anyone that has ever played catch in the backyard or Little League, should go to Cooperstown to experience it. AM: What do you think is the connective tissue between baseball and music and how were you able to move onto the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame where you’re the President and CEO currently? GH: They’re 2 great places and they’re both so much part of our culture. People have a deep love for both subjects. They make these pilgrimages to Cooperstown or the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. These music and sports evolve and they are the history of our culture – all the good and all the bad comes through and you can tell these stories. On some fronts, you can talk about exclusion and people not being included and you can tell about opportunity opening up. Sometimes it opens up in sport before it opens up to the wider society. These are really important pieces for all of us to learn from to think about and to grow from. Then on the other part from the business side, these museums operate in a very similar way. They each get hundreds of thousands of visitors a year. We have inductees that are the best of the best individuals, we have broadcast properties, we have important digital engagement with our visitors, we have retail operations and we are places that kind of mean a lot to a lot of people. So they’re very similar from a business sense and it’s just the subject that’s a little bit different. But they are magical places where people learn about their history, themselves and it helps them to better understand the present. AM: Well can you tell us about the history of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in terms of who founded it and what it’s mission is? I know a lot of people think
about it in terms of the amazing induction ceremony, but there are a lot of things that it does. GH: The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame started close to 40 years ago by a group of music industry professionals – the head of Atlantic Records, Ahmet Ertegun and the head of Rolling Stones Magazine, Jann Wenner and others. They conceived it as a special evening celebration for their industries’ best of the best. After doing that for a short period of time, the idea came up to want to build a museum. A bunch of cities looked at it New York, San Francisco, my hometown of Philadelphia – all made a play for it, but Cleveland really stepped up. Cleveland had a great story about rock & roll being important to the city and being an important place for artists who broke in – including David Bowie’s whose first shows in the US were in Cleveland, Jimi Hendrix when he came back from England – his first shows were there, Rush’s first shows were there. Also a DJ named Alan Freed was playing music in the early 50’s and inspiring young people – so they had this great story! But, they showed up and had a business plan. They said this is how we’re going to build it and how we’re going to fund it and this is what it is going to mean to the region. Long and short, 27 years ago we opened up in this I.M. Pei building on the shores of Lake Eerie in Ohio. Since opening our doors, over 13 million people have visited the museum and we’re at the height of our summer season now. We'll get thousands of people through everyday all summer long. Every one of those people who comes through the front door has a lifetime of memory connected to the subjects inside our museum. When they see it, they hear it or hear it through a band that plays on our stage, it inspires them and makes them think of the people they were with and the places that they were at, the greatest week of college, the time their heart was broken, the greatest road trip that they took and they might even hear a song that reminds them of their mom, dad or siblings.
AM: So when you say rock & roll, what genres comprise this very broad title? GH: It’s a big title and quite frankly, our definition is a very big tent. Rock & roll is more about attitude and spirit then it is about a specific sound. We embrace in the 50’s Doo-Wop, Street Corner Harmony and RockabIlly; in the 60’s there’s Psychedelic, Soul music, Folk music; in the 70’s there’s Heavy Metal, Hip-Hop, Dance Music, Disco, Punk Rock – it’s all under the umbrella of rock & roll. Synth Pop and Industrial – we embrace it all! So for us, it’s all about attitude and spirit! There’s an attitude about Johnny Cash that he had to the music industry and when Ice Cube was inducted, a couple of years ago, In his induction speech, he said, “rock & roll is a spirit, rock & roll is an attitude.” You can find his full quote online. (Editor’s Note: When Ice Cube was inducted, he talked about whether a rap group was considered to be rock & roll. He said, “Now the question is, are we rock & roll? And I say you goddam right we rock & roll. Rock & roll is not an instrument, rock & roll is not even a style of music. Rock & roll is a spirit. It’s a spirit. It’s been going since the blues, jazz, bebop, soul R&B, rock & roll, heavy metal, punk rock and yes, hip-hop. And what connects us all is that spirit. That’s what connects us all, that spirit. Rock & roll is not comforming to the people who came before you, but creating your own path in music and in life. That is rock & roll, and that is us. So rock & roll is not conforming. Rock & roll is outside the box. And rock & roll is N.W.A. I want to thank everybody who helped induct us into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and I just want to tell the world – Damn, that shit was dope.”) That is what we embrace. It’s the voice of change, it’s always been the sound of young America and it continues to evolve and as a museum, we continue to evolve with it. AM: So as music continues to evolve, you will always look for new forms and elements to add to what rock & roll is.
GH: We will and that’s kind of the wave right now. That’s why we have been inducting great Hip-Hop artists right alongside great Heavy Metal artists. In the last induction, it was LL Cool J, and it was Carole King, it was the Foo Fighters, Jay-Z and Tina Turner that were all inducted! To us, it’s a broad tent and everybody’s welcome! AM: What are your 3 favorite rock genres that you love listening to? GH: I look for stuff that’s a little harsher, a little stronger. I love old Blues, I love 60’s Soul like Memphis and I love Punk Rock! I like for it to have a little punch and a little attitude. AM: I can see that! GH: Yeah, that’s what I prefer. AM: What is your day-to-day like in your role and what are the key projects that you’re focused on? GH: My day-to-day role is 1 – to make sure that we have the greatest museum in the world, that every single visitor that comes through our doors leaves being transformed and impacted and that we have a great team that makes that happen. It’s about keeping our staff inspired and changing. We don’t believe in maintenance mode, we always want to be growing and reaching. To that end, we're working on an amazing expansion project at the museum. We’ll be breaking ground later on this year. We will be increasing the museum by about 50,000 sqft. It’s a great project and we’re very excited to be doing it. For that project, one of my biggest responsibilities is to work with a team and to raise the funds to be able to do that. We talked about how there have been 13 million visitors that have been through the museum for the past 27 years. We need to build something for the next 13 million visitors! AM: What can guests expect when they do come to visit and then for those that aren't
available to come in person, is there an online version where people can connect that way? GH: Yeah, so I’ll back up a little bit to your question of what do we do. So, we have this great museum and then in addition to this great museum, we have this great digital outreach. So anybody in the world can connect with us and they can experience the Hall of Fame, but also if there are teachers out there, we have ready teaching materials that they can use for free. Pre COVID, we averaged 50 teachers a day using it, during COVID it was about 500 to 1,000 a day and we have reached over 1 million students last year with our online education programs. We would love it if teachers would use it and help spread the word! We’re not teaching kids how to play instruments or to write songs, we’re teaching them math, science, social justice all through the lens of rock & roll. AM: That’s really cool! It’s a large job! GH: Oh yeah. We have a really great team and we’re cranking through! When someone walks onsite at the museum, the experience starts when you’re in the building. You’re going to hear music blasting from speakers, it might be a live band on stage outdoors or it might just be coming out of our PA speakers. In the museum, you can see the whole history of rock & roll – from Blues, gospel and country through the Beatles, Stones, Supremes, James Brown, Motown and all of that. On our 2nd floor, you can play on instruments and jam with your friends. If bands visit us and they want to jam with visitors – they can do that. On our 3rd floor, you can walk through our Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and see the greats of music where they are immortalized forever in our Hall of Fame and experience our immersive theater that has an amazing show that was edited with the great Jonathan Demme and it’s really the greatest moments from the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame
Inductions. So really, that’s some of the things you do and throughout it all, you’re reminded of times in your life that you listened to certain music, the greatest road trip, your Freshman year in college, who you hung out with and we bring all of those memories back and that’s the real power of our place. AM: Going back to the expansion, what will that involve? GH: We are keeping the whole I.M. Pei pyramid as is and that’s 128,000 sqft and we’re going to add another 50,000 sqft. You know the Pei Pyramid, the only other pyramid that he has done was at the Louvre which is truly the center of Europe’s great art as it’s the home of Mona Lisa. His only other pyramid is here in America at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and we’re the home of America’s great art rock and roll.
ments by Prince when he did Purple Rain in the rain, Bruce Springsteen, The Rolling Stones, Stevie Wonder, Beyonce ́ – it’s just these iconic moments in American cultural history that happened at the Super Bowl Halftime performance it’s just a really great exhibit. We have an exhibit which really is the legends of rock and each band has a focus area. That focus area could be David Bowie, Elton John, Michael Jackson – they all have an area that highlights their career. And that’s an exciting area to walk through and to be reminded of these individuals and their wider impact on our culture. AM: What’s the process for acquiring items for the museum?
GH: Well it’s a big subject!
GH: We work directly with the inductees and pretty much everything we have at the museum has been donated by an inductee, a family member or the artist directly. We make sure to partner with them. They donate to us and occasionally it’s a loaned item if they still need it! We’ve had artifacts that are on exhibit that an artist needs back because they're touring so a guitar goes out to them and a label says, “currently on tour.”
AM: What are 3 of your favorite exhibits that are at the museum?
AM: For those that are in town, how many live shows do you have a year?
GH: I love the Garage Exhibit where visitors can come in and jam with each other it’s amazing.
GH: We have live music probably about 100 shows a year at the museum. This summer, every Thurs and Fri, we’ll have live music and some of the bands that are still coming this summer – Guided By Voices, Adrian Belew is playing and people can go to RockHall.com to check out what we have going on. There’s all different genres and one of the things that’s important to us is that we just don’t put up a party band that plays cover songs. We want original artists playing original music and we want to mix it up between the different genres whether it’s bands that are heavy metal, classic rock sounding or if they’re Hip-Hop. We love having all of them at the museum and they will
AM: That expansion is going to be huge as that’s 175,000 sqft! GH: Pretty close give or take! AM: That’s a lot of space.
We finished an exhibit that I liked a lot that I think is particularly interesting to your readers. That was an exhibit that we did about the greatest Halftime Show Performances in Super Bowl History. We had it at the museum when we hosted the NFL Draft in Cleveland. Then we worked with the NFL and we took it out to the Super Bowl in LA this year and we’re working with them again to take out to Phoenix for the next Super Bowl. It shows performances and great mo-
be playing outdoors on our plaza. AM: Like many, I am a fan of music. My great uncle was Joe Henderson a tenor saxophonist, I love various genres of music and here at Athleisure Mag as well as outside projects I have styled a number of known artists or have interviewed them. I know that our readers would love to know more about what goes into the induction of artists for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. What are the eligibility requirements? GH: Artists have had to have made a record 25 years ago to make them eligible for consideration. And then, it’s really impact and influence. You look at did they take the art form in a new direction, did they push the envelope and that’s what they’re recognized for more than chart placement and sales. The process is, there is a ballot made for all those that were nominated. It then goes out to our voters and the largest voting body is all the other inductees. This year, Jay-Z is going to get a ballot, Bono gets a ballot, Smokey Robinson gets a ballot, Madonna gets a ballot, Bruce Springsteen and members of the Red Hot Chili Peppers – they all get ballots. So they vote and the top 5 vote getters are elected to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. AM: I like that the public is also allowed to join in the fun – why was this an element that has been added to the process? GH: So the fan vote is interesting. During the year, we let fans in the museum voice who should be nominated. It’s always fun to hear that and to understand that. Then when the voting is underway with all of the inductees, we also do a public fan vote and part of it is engagement so that they can engage with us online and let us know who their favorites are. Then we take all the fan votes online and we aggregate them and they count as a composite ballot into the bigger vote. So what it is important for is to see who people are interested in and to understand what they are thinking about. Because the induction into the Hall of Fame is not a popularity
contest, those that are in the industry and have made their living off of rock & roll, their votes are really what counts the most because they can judge the merits of their peers. If that wasn’t the case, whoever has the most social media followers would be elected and that doesn’t necessarily mean they they are the most impactful, it just means that they have great music and great followers. We need that impact. AM: When the nominees are announced, I am sure there are a number of logistics to figure out from who will accept an award for the artist/group if they have passed away and who will perform if there are other artists that will do a tribute versus those that opt to play themselves. Can you tell us more about that? GH: The show producers are amazing! It’s our Foundation President, Joel Peresman and our Foundation Chairman, John Sykes and they do an amazing job working to create a show that is dynamic and exciting and also appropriate for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. They have done a super job working with the show, the production design team and sometimes at its greatest when it’s an artist from yesterday that is being honored by an artists of today and when they perform together – when you have Stevie Wonder inducting Bill Withers and then they sing together and then John Legend comes out and performs with them – it’s amazing! When LL Cool J was inducted, LL was joined by Eminem and by JLo. Just an incredible combination. It’s a desire to allow some artists to pay tribute to those that have influenced them and it’s a chance for other artists to combine that they have meant a lot to. So it’s kind of a neat looking back and looking forward and making something that is even better for that moment in time at that event. AM: As we’re based in NY, it’s always fun when the ceremony is in our backyard, but for the upcoming 2022 induction ceremony, it will be in LA this fall. Why is it
being held there and what is behind the decision of the city that you opt to do it in? GH: Well there are rock & roll fans everywhere and let’s face it, NY is a big center for music and LA is the home of much of the industry. So those 2 cities make a ton of sense and we also do it in Cleveland which is the home of the museum and the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. We’re working on a sequence where it goes on between those cities and we’re really excited and honored that Cleveland is in that cadence and we’re looking at how that pans out in future years. We’re really excited and thrilled to be going to LA as it hasn’t been there since 2013! AM: Looking at this year’s inductees, I was excited about all the names but especially pleased to see that Pat Benatar, Duran Duran, Eminem, Lionel Richie and Dolly Parton are in this year’s group – what are you looking forward to this year? GH: You know, they’re all terrific and they’re all deserving! I’m looking forward to just being surprised. Every year there are super highlights and it’s amazing as this honor isn't about haing 1 hit record or having a great soundtrack song or something like that. This is a lifetime award that is emblematic of excellence and forever they will be celebrated and enshrined at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. This is a really powerful moment for those artists and I can’t wait to hear their speeches and then to see them light up the room with their performances. AM: I know we talked about the educational elements that the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame is involved in throughout the year. Are there other community programs that takes place throughout the year? GH: We have a program called Toddler Rock where kids from First Start Programs come to the museum twice a week and we teach them for 15 weeks on rhyming, alliteration, and social skills with trained music therapists. It’s amazing. We have another program where anyone who lives
in the city of Cleveland can come in for free admission all year long, everyday – whenever – just come on in! It’s a great community outreach for us and we love partnering with our conventions and business bureaus and other entities around town. When the city is bidding on and trying to attract the NBA All Star Game or the MLB All Star Game, we are in the mix. We are part of the hosting committee and we pledge to be a great partner and frequently they theme the event rock & roll because it is Cleveland. We love doing that and we think that if our reach can do well, then everyone can do well and we want to make that happen. AM: In terms of 2022 and looking forward to next year, what are you looking to do in terms of outreach and education on the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame? GH: One, we need to execute on an amazing summer season which is what we are doing. We want to keep going with all of our educational initiatives. We have a traveling exhibitions program where certain exhibits once they are in Cleveland will go out to cities around the country. We're actively working on this building expansion project which is a significant endeavor for the museum and we’re very excited. We have been ramping up our digital presence and we have been adding a lot of Spanish language to what we are doing in our digital outreach. There is a massive group of people that love rock & roll that don’t speak English and we’re very excited to reach out to those audiences as well who do speak English. @rockhall PHOTOGRAPHY CREDITS | Rock & Roll Hall of Fame
It's always fun to touch base with those that we have interviewed previously. La La Anthony is a woman who is always on the go, whether she's on our favorite shows The Chi, POWER and Black Mafia Family. She's always fresh off of wrapping a project and in plans for the next one. In addition, she has always been an entrepreneur and earlier this year, she launched her hair care line, INALA which focuses on strengthening and providing our follicles much needed nutrients.
LLA: You definitely have to wait! These things stay super under wraps! But we did finish filming so now things are just being edited and I think that it’s going to be an incredible season and I think that people are just going to be really excited for it.
We caught up with her to talk about these projects as well as as how she tries to find those moments where she can recharge! She looped us in on what we should keep an eye out for, finding balance and how she enjoys vacation vibes year around!
LLA: I have a Netflix movie coming out with Gabrielle Union and that should be out at the top of the year. I also have a Netflix movie with Jonah Hill, Lauren London, Nia Long that’s coming out probably around the top of the year. Kenya Barris directed that one. There are some projects in the can that will start coming out and that’s always exciting when you can start off the new year with some new projects and things like that!
ATHLEISURE MAG: We have always been a fan of your projects whether it’s The Chi, POWER and obviously more recently, Black Mafia Family. LA LA ANTHONY: Oh thank you! AM: We can’t wait to see the upcoming season. What made you decide that you wanted to be part of the show and what do you love about playing your character, Markaisha Taylor? LLA: You know, I love Black Mafia Family because it’s a true story which just gives it a different depth and different layers! I knew about them and I had heard about them – Meech and Terry, so now being able to be part of their story is just so incredible! Obviously, 50 Cent is the producer who also produced POWER so, I always you know love working with 50 and he’s also one of my closest friends. So that was 2 of the main reasons that I wanted to be on-board and the character will really get introduced in the 2nd season and you’ll really see a lot of her and the relationships that develop over time. I think that people are really going to be into it. AM: Is there anything that you can tell us about the upcoming season or will we need to wait until September?
AM: Since you are always involved in so many things, are there other TV or film projects that you have going on that we need to keep an eye out for?
AM: Absolutely and with such amazing names and great casts for both of those. Earlier this year, you launched INALA. Why did you create this line and what does the name mean? LLA: INALA is my real name backwards – my real name is Alani so it’s a cool spin on that. It was something that was important to me because I worked on it when we were spending a lot of time at home during the pandemic. I really experimented a lot with rice water and saw amazing benefits to my hair when I was making the rice water at home. I was like, how can I bring this to people out there and really help with hair growth, hair strength, edges and all of that stuff. Especially with people who wear wigs, weaves, braids and protective styles all the time that we do to save and preserve our hair. I worked with some experts and came up with INALA and the Power Potion has been amazing and the results have been great. We have the Reset Rinse and now we’re working on just launching some new products because
everything has been so great and people have been loving the results and have been really happy about everything.
tinue to celebrate that and what did you do to enjoy all the amazingness that is the Colada?
AM: I think rice water is amazing and I have been a long time skincare fan of Japanese and Korean Beauty skin products that use this in it. So what is the benefit of using rice water as it pertains to hair?
LLA: Well see, I don’t take a lot of vacations! So what I love about Baileys Colada is that it gives you vacation vibes wherever you’re at. It’s just one of those things that when you taste it, in your mind, you’re on a beautiful island somewhere or laying up doing absolutely nothing. I think that that’s how we’re able to continue celebrate it no matter where you are or what you’re doing. You can bring the beach vibes and the vacation vibes to you by having it for sure!
LLA: It’s just known to help with strengthening hair. It’s known to help with hair growth, keeping hair to have a luscious glow to it – it’s literally like I say that rice water is just magic! The rice grain itself contains all of these nutrients that are essential for all this that I’m talking about. So what we did is put ours along with the 100% rice complex. It has biotin in it and different vitamins and minerals that really boost your hair growth and hair strength. The results have been crazy! When you see before and after pictures and people start talking about their experience with the products, it’s been really amazing. AM: Because you have your hand in a number of pots, how do you take advantage of the summer and take time for yourself? LLA: That’s something that I’m still working on. Because I am so busy and I do need to find that balance so it’s something I’m working on. You know, I have a trip coming up with my son soon and it’s just going to be him and I. It’ll be a couple of days where he and I will be able to be off the grid and to have some fun with him. I’m really looking forward to that. I did tell myself that in August and in some of September, I do want to do a bit more traveling mostly with my son and kind of just disconnect from work for a little while. You know, I was on BMF and as soon as it wrapped, I did an independent film called Water Boys and just finished that so I haven’t had so much downtime at all. So, I really feel like it’s important to have a healthy balance! AM: You partnered again with Baileys and helped them with the National Colada day which was on July 10th. How can we con-
AM: What were your inspirations behind the cocktails that you created? LLA: I love the versatility of them and it was based on my Puerto Rican roots which I love. The Pina Colada which a lot of people don’t know this, the Piña Colada originated in Puerto Rico, so it all kind of went hand in hand, so when I came to them with the idea, they loved it and were so receptive that I definitely wanted to bring my roots into it. So we came up with the 3 cocktails and I feel like it’s a nod to my culture, my heritage and it’s just really cool to be able to bring all of that together. @lala PHOTO CREDITS | Baileys Colada
THE THE ART LIM SNA OF AN CK: I NY
In The Art of the Snack, we always love sharing our favorite places to get a meal and although many may be seen as splurges, there is a perfect union when you have a restaurant that focuses on clean eating and still feels like a splurge with its flavor profiles and assortment. We connected with Executive Chef/Partner, M.J. Alam of Limani New York who shared with us his culinary background, Greek-Mediterranean cuisine and a number of expansions that are taking place with his restaurant! ATHLEISURE MAG: Tell us about your culinary background and how you came to Limani NYC. CHEF M.J. ALAM: I am from Bangladesh originally and I used to live in Canada, grew up there and my culinary base is from Canada. So I learned everything there. I started working at a restaurant chain called Au Vieux Duluth in Montreal at one of the franchises with me and my friend. From there, I took the official chef position and then I was running them all. Before then, I used to work in Estiatorio Milos in Montreal for 3 years. I also opened another restaurant briefly in Quebec and I found out that they opened another Milos in NY and the guys were calling me and I took the position here as a sous chef and after a year, I took over. I ran Milos NY for 18 years. I opened Milos Las Vegas and Milos Miami and then I knew that if there was an opportunity in the city, I would be interested in opening something else. The owners of Limani reached out to me and they were looking to open their second location in Midtown. They wanted me to be the Executive Chef and they made me a partner as well. So, that’s how we started. I love Mediterranean cuisine as this is what I do. AM: For those that may not be familiar with Greek-Mediterranean cuisine, what flavors and spices are indicative of foods that are cooked in this way? CHEF MJA: It’s everything and all that I do! It’s the fish and the fresh seafood! It's
all about the salt, the pepper and the oregano. It’s about the capers – it’s about the Greek style! My goal is to always search for fresh fish and seafood and to bring this to the people at the table so that they have a modern Greek style for the modern diet I would say. This is my goal to find the fresh ingredients and give it to the people in a healthy way. I don’t do much with the sauce and all that. Everything is the fresh ingredients and the fresh herbs as well as the olive oil. We try to work with everything that is seasonal here. AM: We are long time fans of Greek-Mediterranean cuisine and it’s such a treat to be able to talk to you as we are long time fans of Estiatorio Milos here in NY as a favorite for lunch and business dinners as well! In looking at Limani, you have a gorgeous location at Rockefeller Center. Can you tell us about the interiors of this location and set the stage for us for those that have yet to dine here? Do you also have an outdoor option as well? CHEF MJA: Yes, yes we have an outdoor option. We have an outdoor garden with tables outside, especially with the amazing weather so that people can enjoy it. Being on top of the rock with all of the buildings around it and there is fresh air that you can enjoy on a sunny day. People really enjoy it. Inside, we have a nice, white Greek marble and interiors that make you feel like you’re in Santorini. We also have a small infinity pool in the middle of the dining area where you can jump in if you get too hot and cool down ha ha. AM: Ha I’m sure that they don’t but I’m sure it’s pretty tempting! What are 3 appetizers that you suggest they should eat after taking that metaphorical dip when they’re dining with friends and family?
CHEF MJA: We have our famous Grilled Octopus that we do sashimi style and it’s really good as it’s a Tunisian Octopus. It’s drizzled with some olive oil and a touch of red wine vinegar. Another great dish that we have that we’re famous for is our Greek Salad and our chips which is called Kolokithi which are paper thin sliced zucchini and eggplant chips served with lightly fried kefalograviera (cheese) and tzatziki. AM: For your main meal, what are 3 dishes that we should have in mind when we’re coming in for our next visit? CHEF MJA: We always have on display our fish and variety from all over the world from Spain, Portugal, New Zealand, Greece and local. So you come here, and you choose. Your server will take you to the display and will show you the market and whatever is available, that’s what you can choose. I do have some other options for those that may not like fish. We have a Cowboy which is a 26 oz. bone-in ribeye which has been dry aged for 30 days and is served with asparagus or and potatoes or French Fries. We also have a Lamb Chops from Colorado that are served with Cauliflower and broccoli. But I mean, we mostly specialize in fish! I mean, people come here – AM: For fish! MJA: Yes, they come here to choose from the display, then the guys scale it, gut it out, clean it and we make it! AM: What cocktails are you excited about as we’re in the thick of the summer where we’re all looking to be refreshed. MJA: We have a number of options. We have our Lychee Martini, VIP-TINI with vodka and infused pineapple and we have our Mediterranean Mule with Figenza Fig Vodka, pomegranate juice, fresh lime juice, topped with ginger beer and served over ice. We also have an extensive and global wine list.
AM: To end a great meal, it’s always about dessert. What are 3 that we should be thinking about? MJA: Oh we have a beautiful dessert that is a home made walnut cake Baklava. Another one that we created is the Deconstruction Baklava – it’s an oven baked layered phyllo dough with almonds, walnuts, cinnamon with honey syrup. It’s beautiful – it’s traditional and like everything, it’s made here. We also have a Chocolatina which is a chocolate lava cake and we use our seasonal fruits and Greek yogurt. AM: In addition to your Rockefeller Center location, you are also in Long Island with your original location in Limani Roslyn as well as Limani Taverna in Woodbury. Can you tell me about these as well? Are the menus the same or are they different? MJA: It’s 95% the same. AM: Is there a pool there? MJA: No ha ha you have to jump into the sea. But in addition to those restaurants, we also have our Boston locations. One will be in South Street and the other is in Chestnut Hill. AM: How do you navigate having all of these restaurants? Is it difficult to split your time between them? MJA: This is what I do, yeah. I love doing this. I was in Boston going back and forth hiring people. It’s about training people and then getting service started as well. AM: Hearing how many locations are opening or will be opened, we definitely appreciate you taking the time! locations are opening or will be opened, we definitely appreciate you taking the time! MJA: Well, let me tell you about another one that’s coming – we’re opening in Charlotte, NC too. This will be around August.

No Kid Hungry X Williams Sonoma presents this year's partner spatulas. We love that this year Chef Ina Garten, Big Freedia, Lauren Alaina and a number of personalities are giving back to fight food insecurity for children. No Kid Hungry is a national campaign run by Share Our Strength, a nonprofit working to solve problems of hunger and poverty in the United States and around the world. After 25 years of successfully investing in local nonprofits and helping find the best approaches to eradicating poverty and hunger, Share Our Strength launched No Kid Hungry in 2010. Williams Sonoma has raised over $16 million to date for No Kid Hungry to aid the fight for ending childhood hunger. We've been a fan of Ina Garten for years and of course, enjoy making a number of her dishes from her various cookbooks. Her passion for making meals an epic experience and sharing them with friends and family is a no brainer in terms of her support of ending childhood hunger. “Now more than ever, the work of No Kid Hungry is so important and I am honored to be able to support their cause with William Sonoma.” Hip Hop artist known for their work in the genre of Bounce and TV Personality, Big Freedia shared why partnering with No Kid Hungry was important. “I love partnering with No Kid Hungry. They have helped feed many New Orleans underserved children over the years. A hungry child cannot learn or concentrate, so starting early is essential and it’s a cause I will always support." Country music artist, Lauren Alaina shared why being part of this campaign was important to her. “I love the heart of William Sonoma and getting to partner with them to help make a difference for children. I can’t stand the thought of any child dealing with hunger. I had so much fun decorating my spatula and am so proud to be a part of this campaign.”
This month, the runways were swim ready with Paraiso Miami Swim which had a number of designers showcase their look for the season. We're sharing a few of our favorite looks as well as those that had recording artists hit the runway to perform as well. There were a number of trends that rocked the runways from colors (lavender, pink and aqua popped up throughout a number of shows), visual texture (you'll see a number of looks that include crisscross, cutout peekaboos, deep plunges), one shoulder looks, mini bikini skirts incorporated into swimwear and adding sparkle and shine in to the looks. We have our eye on the designers that we've included that really brought the runway to the next level with their designs. @paraisomiamibeach PHOTOGRAPHY CREDITS | PG 98 - 100 + 102 - 103 Getty | PG 101 ImaxTree
