On A Mission
An Interview w/ Quest Michaels (by Jhantu Randall) When it comes to any story in entertainment, the one that always stands out is the one told about the underdog. The story about the person that works hard, produces content consistently, studies the craft and still, for some reason or another, stays relatively under the radar. While many may see this as a disadvantage in a sea of talented spitters and artists, some would say to be underrated is the most dangerous because you have the opportunity to remain inconspicuous. I first saw Quest Michaels take the stage a few months back at an open mic I was performing in at
Lady Luck’s in Parkland. I saw him kind of stay hidden in the shadows, watching intently as the other artists graced the stage and spit their piece. Not knowing what to expect, I watched as Quest grabbed the mic and made his way under the spotlight which was surrounded by a dim ambience which played well in the hands of a few acts. With an upbeat, almost reggae rhythm, Quest spit his life in bar after bar which he switched flows on numerous times. The verses were gaining momentum, but it was the sonic quality and song structure that stayed with you until after the record was ended. Read Full Interview‌
Over the past few weeks I’ve taken you through every person I managed to get interviews with at the
Bubba Sparks show in Spanaway. While there were a few that I wasn’t able to get, I assure you that they will be highlighted at some point in the future because the one thing that ties all these artists together is their drive and hunger for more! Through getting to know all the acts, my brain started wondering, who was the person that managed to bring this whole thing altogether? And it was with that question that I was able to meet the man behind the curtain. The CEO of 03 Entertainment, Lazerrick Holiday. Thanks to George Kush who through his connections, put this interview together, I was able to meet with Lazerick at the Y Sports Bar at 7 o’clock on a rather light Thursday evening. When I first met him, he actually matched the image in my mind of what a CEO is. Quiet, unassuming, humble to a degree, and most importantly, always aware of whats going on in the background. We sat down and I turned on my recorder as we both lit cigarettes and began to talk about his story. The smoke only seemed to add to the mystery of the man behind it all. As soon as we started, the first words out of his mouth were, “I’m a father, artist, entrepreneur, student of the game and most importantly, a hard worker.” It was from that first statement that I knew I was dealing with someone who was truly building a foundation and preparing for a long run in this business as opposed to those who only seem to be drawn to the flashier side of things.

"I wanted positive messages, trendy, fashion forward designs and something that I had never seen as I was coming up through the ranks, so to speak. Homefront Girl was born..." -Gaby Juergens
with the World" The y sa y "Create what you wish existed," and so I did. I am a self taught artist b y the wa y. It's never too late for a 2nd act in life!!
Mistah Wilson: Hello there, Gab y Juergens! It is such a tremendous honor to have you here with us for this exclusive inter view with ThaWilsonBlock Magazine! How are you these da ys? Gab y Juergens: Ver y well, thank you! Working hard as an Entre preneur with Homefront GirlÂŽ while at the same time tr ying to do good things with my creative. Mistah Wilson: For our audience reading this , could you give us a quick backg round on yourself ? Gab y Juergens: Certainl y. I come from a long line of famil y militar y ser vice, daughter of a veteran, mar ried for 28 years to a career militar y of ficer and raised a son in the life. I started Homefront GirlÂŽ after his retirement in 2013 and wondered what do I do with the rest of my life? I had been a militar y wife and volunteer for so man y years , and then I decided to concentrate on what I loved ver y much and that was our militar y families and their ser vice. Mistah Wilson: Now, we have to admit, we are ver y impressed with your work! Tell us about Homefront Girl and what helped inspired this unique brand? Gab y Juergens: The idea came to me to start a design studio based on years of having a front row seat to witnessing their selfless sacrifice supporting our men and women in uniform. I wanted positive messages , trendy, fashion forward designs and something that I had never seen as I was coming up through the ranks , so to speak. Homefront Girl was bor n, the tag line is , "Sharing your HERO
Mistah Wilson: We also heard that you've recentl y won a battle with breast cancer. Your stor y can inspire so man y! Would you care to share your experience with us? Gab y Juergens: In 2016 I was diagnosed with stage 3 Breast cancer, this came on the heels of discovering the demise in a ver y traumatic wa y of my mar riage, stress can kill you, I was in a state of shock, heartbreak, ra pid weight loss , hair loss from the shock and shortl y after came the cancer diagnosis. So I went of f to fight at Johns Hopkins for over a year for my life. I had a son, and I fought for him. I was going to leave him motherless if I could help it. I shared my jour ne y with the Homefront Girl fanpage and I found strength in their stories and pra yers. I just celebrated a year since my last treatment and I am g rateful I am so far good to go. Mistah Wilson: You are no stranger in giving back to the community. In your own words , what does it mean to be a "volunteer"? Gab y Juergens: For man y years as a militar y spouse, I participated as a volunteer but also as a commanders spouse in recognizing the invaluable support that volunteers give. To be a volunteer in an y ca pacity is to have an empathetic heart, a desire to contribute, to give back in some wa y with nothing expected in retur n, exce pt for the immense jo y of knowing you've made a dif ference big or small. One of favorite quotes in life is: "W hen you look back upon your life, the moments that stand out, the moments that reall y mean something, are those when you did something something in the spirit of love." I live b y that. Homefront GirlÂŽ comes from my heart.

Mistah Wilson: W hat part have you pla yed in Mac y's Thanksgiving Da y Parade? Gab y Juergens: Last year I lear ned that Militar y Children had been invited to audition and participate in the 2017 Mac y's Thanksgiving Parade. I was thrilled to hear this , but soon, it came to my attention that there were possible problems getting the children who financial support to make the Performing Camp fee, not mention, the expenses of traveling to NYC. Militar y ser vice is not a mone y making profession, so it is not easy to make these expenses for a lot of families. W hen I lear ned that the parade a ppearance b y our kids was having problems , I looked for someone to speak with involved with Camp Broadwa y, and asked how I could help; I could use my social media and roladex and contacts to raise awareness whatever could help. I told them to google me I wasn't a kook. LOL. Long stor y short BeAlliance the financial arm of Camp Broadwa y, a fabulous organization, man y people I reached out and other people who worked hard to get the financial support we successfull y got our militar y kids to NYC and the y participated at Herald Square re presenting their ser vice and their loved ones. The y were dressed in amazing clothes re presenting the ser vice of their loved one and Combat boots! I gifted each one, my son was there with me, with Homefront Girl® Teddy Bears. The children loved them. It was a wonderful Thanksgiving. Mistah Wilson: And we must discuss your Dr. Mar y Walker award! How does it feel to receive such an honor? Gab y Juergens: The Dr. Mar y Walker award is one of the award presented to a militar y spouse that has exemplified through volunteer work the love of soldiers and militar y families. Dr. Walker was an extraordinar y woman of her time, who ser ved as medical of ficer, sometimes dressing as a man to work on the frontlines , her braver y, ser vice was rewarded and she remains the sole female recipient of the Medal of Honor. It was quite an honor to receive the award. Mistah Wilson: So, you are a designer! W here do you draw creativity from? Gab y Juergens: As a designer, as man y artists , we draw from what we know, what we care about, we all touchstone, whether as a musician,painter, writer. For me, Homefront Girl® and the design studio is reall y built on
the experiences and memories and love of a lifetime with our militar y life. I lear ned braver y from the bravest, it got me through cancer, it got through a lot and it inspired Homefront Girl® Mistah Wilson: In what wa ys do you plan to impact the World through the Homefront Girl brand? Gab y Juergens: I hope that Homefront Girl® and the designs that I create and products will introduce to a 250 Million demog ra phic which is what our militar y related population is , we have 5 million caregivers , militar y caregivers , I hope the y cement the bonds of our lifestyle with them. We ma y leave the militar y, but it reall y never leaves us , the camraderie, shared experience are priceless. At the same time, I hope it gives an insight to those to whom the militar y life is a question mark. W hat the y know of it are troops on de plo yments , welcome home ceremonies , but the not the waiting, the missed firsts (births , first ste ps , first words), all that is part of the sacrifice b y the Brave and what I have come to call the "Other Half of the Brave" and that is our militar y families and children. If it lends a spotlight somehow I am ha pp y. Mistah Wilson: W here can people find all of your cool products?
