Just Inked Model Jenia Denise

Hiya, I?m Jenia Denise, 34, a mama of 3 crazy humans, and have an amazing bf that is one of the best humans i?ve ever met. I am a Brand Ambassador/Model with Just Inked as well as an in-home care provider for the best old bitty ever!

I have done modeling on and off since I was 11 years old, did a mixture of living with each parent on and off growing up. So I have lived in quit a few areas over my years, my homes are Michigan, Missouri, & Texas! Those are the states that I have lived the most in and still have family in but living in the Kansas City, MO area right now.

Life wasn?t always easy and hell it still isn?t but it has definitely been one hell of a ride and despite the hard time I thank my parents every day for what they could give me growing up. I use to always say i was just a daddy?s girl but as I have grown into an adult i?ve come to see that I am also very much a mama?s girl too.

You normally might catching me hanging out with my favorite humans, shooting pool, playing softball, or painting something. My new thing that my old bitty has gotten me into is Gin (cards not drink haha) and doing puzzles.

I honestly never thought I would get the opportunity to ride this road again. I was Miss Northern Michigan at 16 & Miss Northwest Michigan at 17, then signed with an agency outta Florida right after. The opportunity was let go because I found out I was going to be a mama. After that my focus was on her but I did do modeling here and there because my heart was still set on living my dream.

I love the adrenaline I get when i?m in front of the camera and I know at this point that I am not your typical looking model that people expect to see and believe me it has been pointed out time and time again because I am thicker then your average girl, but thanks to my amazing mama Bear Chasity McMillan, I was given a chance again this year and have not stopped pushing! I don?t plan to stop either, i?m just getting started!

My sponsors are Just Inked, Next Generation Tattoo & Body Piercing (Springfield, MO) & Last Minute Irrigation (Independence, MO)

The Power of Posit ivism

By Joe Dert

In 2019 we're seeing a large number of people switching their vibrations from negative thinking to being more positive in all aspects of life. It doesn't seem to be a limit on ways you can change your life for the better. The easiest way to start is by simply thinking positive thoughts but achieving a fully positive overall outcome you must consider exercising and healthy eating as well. But regardless of the stereotype thinking positive and manifesting great outcomes isn't exactly easy for everyone. Just like anything you want to be good at it takes practice. You have to constantly battle the uncertainty of everyday life and personal insecurities or fears. The good news is there are manifestation books and apps that can help you along your journey to a more abundant and positive life. My personal favorite book to read is "The Secret' by Rhonda Byrne, which she also created a movie with great visuals to help you better understand her techniques and those of the featured contributes of her award winning publication. What I like the most about the book is that each person featured teaches you a different technique to becoming a manifestation master and provides a great example of how to use those techniques and actual success stories.

Depending on what type of phone you have, certain apps won't be available to you but its not hard to find the right app for you. My personal favorite is the "Law Of Attraction" app by vivianzhu. It includes Law of Attraction theories, shareable picture quotes, video's, hypnosis audio, manifestaion stories, books, audio books, reminder affirmation, affirmations, and a vision board. I faithfully use this app everyday and would suggest everyone to check it out.

With as much mayhem and confusion that seems to be going on these days it's a good thing that so many people are choosing to make their life a positive one. Granted that negativity is powerful, but positivism is even more powerful once you've mastered how to manifest great things. If your having trouble finding out how to harness your inner positive self try to find a person willing help you along your journey like a positive family member, a community leader, life coach, or motivational speaker.

Remember that being POSITIVE has great POWER! Banish negativity from your life TODAY!!!

I celand's Julia Arna Returns!

At only 30 yrs old, Julia has performed in front of 40,000 in Iceland. She goes into the studio to record and rehearse at least 8 hours a session. You can tell this in the end project as it reflects the velvet undertones of someone much older. Raising the social media bar from Iceland to the U.S. to South Korea, she has made it worldwide. With comments like " This is another voice the world needs to hear." by Grammy voting member and producer Raymond Barton. His forte is R and B love songs, he has written for Toni Braxton. Another powerful velvet undertone singer. 'Along for the ride is Durrell Peart, talent management master who is currently buttoning up a distribution streaming deal in the 300 billion dollar South Korean market for Julia. All the way to Joe Dert who has always believed in Julia's talent. See her potential and her success is his too, Much respect between the two. All these connections were made via social media and with people that see the talent and believe in the artist.

One of Julia's favorite comments is from the late Bruce Replogle, who stated she'll go far. He should know talent as he was John Lennon's publicist on the album Double Fantasy. Again another connect made by social media. Julia's story is a true testament to the power of social media not just fans collected but power players connected. She is currently in the studio and we are terribly excited to hear what's next. One this is certain, this star is on the rise in the underground and beyond.

Gr ammy- Nominat ed Composer / Pr oducer Rick Hale

The foothills of Albuquerque, NM provide the perfect backdrop for Latin Grammy-nominated composer/producer Rick Hale to craft music in a variety of genres mixed with ambient atmospheres.

Hale?s passion for music was nurtured at a very young age as he was enrolled in piano lessons at the age of five. He devoted his teens to the art of piano performance and electronic composition and music production, techniques he practiced under the tutelage of composer Michael Mauldin. Since then, he has peppered his resume with a variety of accomplishments that label him as a true and distinct music aficionado.

Rick Hale was nominated for a Latin Grammy in 2001 for producing the album "Cumbegue" by Micky Cruz. Additionally, he produced and recorded with (late) Jimmy Shendo on "Walking The Life Road," and ?The Town Crier ? which the first received "The Native American Music Award" for "Best Rock Recording" in 2009 as well as the second, NAMMY awards in 2009. Additionally, Rick has received multiple New Mexico Music Awards for various projects in 2009, 2013 and 2015.

Rick regularly works with drummer and producer Garry King (Joe Lynn Turner, Jeff Beck, and others), guitarists Gary Cook (Sting and Joni Mitchell), and has worked with recording artist Danny Wilding (Brand X), and Filipina recording artist Jam Morales, as well as others.

Rick owns and operates a recording studio, where composes music for advertising clients including Kroger and their affiliated brands, as well as several music libraries such as AudioSparx. He draws inspiration from bands such as Genesis, Peter Gabriel, U2, Gary Newman, Yes, The Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd, Coldplay as well as many ambient and chill artists. Additionally, Rick enjoys studies of classical composers such as Bach, Beethoven, Chopin,

Rick Hale Debussy, and Brahms.

In 2005, he released a self-titled debut album with Garry King and the help of some of the aforementioned artists. The album holds no allegiance to any one genre as the songs effortlessly bounce from Rock to Pop to Dance and more. In 2009, Rick digitally released his second album titled "Little Bit", in 2016 ?Hard To Say?, both alt. pop/rock releases, and in 2019 "Ambiance", and ambient release.

Currently, Rick is working on several new original projects of different genres, including smooth jazz, progressive rock, and alt pop/rock music. He currently releases music in a large digital music library called Audiosparx, www.audiosparx.com/rickhale where many of Rick?s tracks are available to license, and are played for ?in-store radio services? through Radiosparx.

M u gsy : Ayye everybody my name is "Reyne Brady" (Pronounced Rain..You can thank my parents haha) AKA "Mugzy" (5 Elements Hip Hop Kido) From "Sydney Australia" (The Land Down Under) Home of the "Heath Ledger 's, Hugh Jackman's, Crocodile Dundee's" and ofc the Hip Hop Kido's "Mugzy" .

Ver b' z Up: Wh at do you do & f or h ow lon g?

M u gsy : I became interested in hip-hop music and the culture of hip-hop when i was 14 so 2005 my early years in High School. Around that time i guess you could say i was a bit of a loner which caused me to get punk'd/bullied alot also my grades were failing an i had no avenue where i would be in life when i finished school so instead i bought myself an IPod an started listening to artists such as Eminem, 50 Cent, Tupac Eminem was the one i could related to the most (Even to this day) I know It sounds clichĂŠ because im a typical whiteboi myself but just the Aggression/Anger in his wordplay/lyric It kinda gave me a voice to say I Dont give a f* * * a platform to fight back an take no sh* * in this world. Starting Off i would drop down small rhymes in my workbook but i knew if i wanted to progress i would have to write full lyric songs Also i knew if i wanted to be known or respected by the general hip hop community who loves it as much as i do then i would have to do my homework take a trip back in time where it all started in the 70s of South Bronx and learn bit by bit

What inspires me about the culture of hip hop is that it's the ONLY music form that you can express yourself in any way/shape/form possible You pick any other music genre Rock, Pop, Rnb etc etc Trust me they dont have the same effect that hip hop brings thats why i love it. I've been in the game for 14 years done 2 Albums (working on a 3rd atm), Radio Play/Magazine Articles WORLDWIDE, Fan base WORLDWIDE, Featured in Multiple Independent Films/TV Commercials. The List goes ON an ON an i havnt stopped yet Hip-Hop changed my life completely i'll rep it till the day i die i love it to much.....Saved my life.

Ver b' z Up: Wh at does t h e Un der gr ou n d In du st r y m ean t o you ?

M u gsy : The "Underground" is what has always driven the heart/soul through-out the culture of hip-hop...5 Elements (MCing, Djing, B-Boying, Graffiti) and the GOLDEN-RULE (Knowledge). I truly believe if more artists who decide to come into the (House of Hip Hop) should educate themselves before stepping in and learn where it came from, give respect/acknowledgement towards it. That's how we will keep it alive to what it once was

The Int er view w/ Mugsy M u gsy : Speaking on today's hip hop? "110% Absolutely" do you hear the garbage they keep promoting? I believe "the underground" has always kept it 100% to the core of what true hip hop represents (Substance, Self Expression, Message, Idealist, Change). There is so much TALENT spread across the globe within the underground who are still keeping that TRUE Hip Hop Aspect/Flavour Alive its just ashame majority turn their heads to this NEW-era of (Trap, Drill, Mumble). Yes hip hop is a younglings game hey i was 14 when i first dove into the sound/culture of hip hop. But from the way its heading/acting now and the level of disrespect these younglings have for the grates who paved the way before them is disgusting and they done realize the mass-effect it can have when it comes as a "Cultural Standpoint". I believe social media is 50/50 on doing this damage to the culture (One) Yes i believe its a great tool to branch out your business/product/ideas without the manual handling like we use to do (Sell hard copies) but on the flipside alot of these great ideas never come to light because the dumb-down mass-produce stupidity is whats HOT now. Its a "Hot or Not" way of thinking these younglings have, compared to how we use to buy our music now its "Whose hot?" and if that HOT artist has a wack album or record the month/year later these kids tend to move onto the next With us we invested our time/dedication into the "Artists" not because one min their single is hot...the next it flops.

I believe that level of thinking is the reason we have these corny artists you cant tell me "Lil Nas X - Old Town Road" is BETTER than anything "Quincy Jones/Michael Jackson" done "Billie Jean - Thriller " (the catalogue goes on) just because the kid is No:1 Billboard ...."If you believe that you are

moron period" Ver b' z Up: Wh er e do you see you r self in 10 year s?

M u gsy : Haha its always a hard question to answer as i cant predict the future I suppose hopefully more closer to the dream ;) isnt that every artists goal when they first pick up the pad & pen and write their first song to make a living off it someday.

Ver b' z Up:Ever yon e is dif f er en t ? Wh at do you t h in k it m ean s t o be su ccessf u l?

M u gsy : I believe success is what you set out to be in life and achieve that. Learn, Embrace the Foundation...Acknowledge the ones who came before..Pave your own path appreciating the Culture, Elements

TM A - Th e M a in At t r a c t io n Kenneth Ray Dixon Jr, professionally known as ?The Main Attraction? was born in Dallas Texas on March 1,1994. He attended Prairie View A&M University for 2 years before dropping out and going to Music School; after 2 weeks of repetitive materials he dropped out quoting, ?it was a waste of money" then proceeded to build his solo music career independently. Even though he had established songs with various major/signed artists, he decided to release his solo debut album "Life Before TMA"(July 7, 2017). During this time period he dropped the official video to his first single ?Yass Lawd? off the ?LifeBeforeTMA? EP. What makes this particular music video unique, is that it was shot independently by @TMAmediagroup with a placement on VEVO. A couple months later TheMainAttraction released ?@WhoisTMA? the album(January 18, 2018) & is currently pushing his new Hit Singles ?Pesos? & ?Smoke Suttin?. It doesn?t take a rocket scientist to notice that this Music Mogul have more to offer than just talent, his entrepreneurial mentality might be the perfect marketing tool. The rapper ?TheMainAttraction? also owns a well received clothing brand @TMAclothingline (The Main Attraction Clothing), that has been worn by famous rappers/actors worldwide from US to UK. I feel that this young rapper/entrepreneur has a lot to bring to the music industry with his creative mentality and diverse music style.
