Christina Collins (PE Teacher, entrepreneur, lobbyist, athlete)

“Sitting is the new smoking” (Dr. James Levine, Mayo Clinic). Movement is simply essential for survival, and physical education (P.E.) teacher, former athlete, mother, and entrepreneur Christina Collins, CEO of NeverStopMoving365, is effectively creating a ripple of change nationwide through her state lobbying efforts and launch of her business and franchise that offers skill development for youth, outside of the classroom, as well as franchise opportunities for fellow teachers in need of additional income. From lobbying for a change in NY state mandates for the required time of physical activity for students to making physical activity and coaching available nationwide to her fundraising campaign, Christina is well-deserving of her recent nomination as a "Woman of Impact'' by the American Heart Association.

Hill Harper is a lawyer, union organizer, actor and single father who owns a well-known coffee shop in Detroit. He’s not a politician, but he’s running for U.S. Senate anyway to ensure every single Michigander has economic security and real representation focused on the people, not lobbyists or wealthy donors. Raised in the Midwest by two doctors, Hill learned early on the importance of public service, and that the purpose of life was to make life better for everyone. Throughout his life, whether on the campus of Harvard Law School or on the set of The Good Doctor, Hill Harper always kept alive that passion for service. It took him to Iowa and then across the country as he campaigned as a top surrogate for his law school classmate, President Barack Obama. That passion for service led him to sit on President Obama’s Cancer Panel, to write several best-selling books aimed at empowering marginalized young people, and to establish a charitable foundation that helps young people achieve their dreams through scholarships, mentorships and grants. Now, Hill is running for U.S. Senate because he believes the depth of the challenges facing our nation demands independence over conformity, and service over personal ambition.

She is simply known to family and friends as Reina Shuford but is quickly making her name ‘Reyna Love’, known to her fans and the entertainment industry. Love, who was born in South Florida knew at an early age she was destined to be a star. At the tender age of seven, Love found herself on the popular show, “Sesame Street.” It was then her mother realized she had a very talented daughter. “My Mom watched me day in and day out singing and dancing on set and she saw the joy on my face,” explains Love. “Dancing alongside Gloria Estefan for the world premiere of “Elmo’s Palooza,” was confirmation I was headed in the right direction.” Love was also intrigued with the arts and culture, which led her to other activities such as golf, tennis, and some modeling between the ages of 7 to 14. Although Love was enjoying the other interests, it was her love for drama that made her continue to take an interest in entertainment, so she joined the drama club at her high school. At 15, she landed the lead role in a high school play and was awarded 1st Place by the local community youth fair.
Things were starting to pick up steam as she received a call back for a Disney project, but unfortunately, everything came to a complete stop. Love learned she was pregnant with her first child and realized she had to put her acting on hold to provide for her family. Love enrolled in medical school and worked in the medical field for three years. Not feeling completely fulfilled and missing the acting bug, Love decided to give modeling another try to get back in front of the camera. It didn’t take long for things to pick up for Love. She began modeling for brands such as Chic Couture Online, Pretty Little Things, POSH Beauty, and Lina Zuniga Cosmetics to name a few. As luck would have it, Love received a message from Miasha Coleman, a New York best-selling author about a project she was working on and was interested in having Love audition. “Miasha explained to me she wanted to transition her novels into film.” says Love. “This was a dream come true for me, for I knew the project was going to be a trilogy series. "As the saying goes, the rest is history; Love landed the lead role of ‘Celess’ in the trilogy series. She has brought to life the character in all three installments; “Secret Society,” “Secret Society: Never Enough,” and “Secret Society: Til Death.” The first two installments received rave reviews, earning a #5 rating in the country on Amazon Prime. The final installment is set to be released on December 15th on Amazon as well. If one could play on words, you could definitely say the ‘secret’ is out; Reyna Love is a star who is ready to shine brightly! Keep an eye out for this starlet.

T'Mil Curtis is a serial entrepreneur skilled in marketing, coaching, ministry, public speaking, event production, and promotion. With all these talents, it’s not surprising that she is rolling out several books starting this quarter and throughout 2024. She can now add serial author to her extensive resume!
Her ability to develop industry relationships has contributed to her success. This has allowed T’Mil to establish a solid reputation and build trust with people of all walks. By fostering strong industry relationships, she gained opportunities for collaborations, partnerships, and increased visibility, solidifying her reputation as someone worth watching.
Her book, Church Growth Through Digital Ministry, is a comprehensive guide to help churches grow using digital strategies.
Churches are experiencing exponential growth through digital ministry. In recent years, digital platforms and technologies have become more widely used in religious practices. Digital ministry involves using online platforms and tools to connect with a wider audience.
The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the adoption of digital ministry. Churches had to quickly adapt to gathering restrictions by using digital tools to continue services and stay connected with their congregations. This period highlighted the importance of digital ministry and its potential for growth.
However, T’Mil was ahead of the game. She conceptualized the idea of bringing church to the digital age before the pandemic.
“This book started as a handout created for a class at The Fuel Strategies Summit but quickly morphed into what I believe is strategy in motion for pastors and ministries,” states Curtis.
What sets her book apart is its ability to explain important topics for church growth while also addressing overlooked aspects of digital ministry and church operations.
And although each church will have its unique strategies and approaches, it’s important that they all recognize the importance of leveraging technology to extend their ministry reach, enhance communication, and create a sense of community both online and offline.
Church Growth Through Digital Ministry begins by exploring the basics of digital ministry, including what it is, why it’s important, and how to get started. It then discusses digital evangelism and discipleship, along with specific strategies for using digital tools to reach people, build relationships, and grow your church.
Curtis shares some of the key principles or strategies she discusses in her book for achieving church growth through digital ministry. “The key principle is this; any pastor or church that isn’t serious about their digital presence has no real vision to me.”
Digital ministry allows churches to transcend geographical limitations, reaching individuals who are not physically able to attend services or events. Online platforms allow churches to connect with a worldwide audience and share their message, teachings, and worship experiences. This accessibility can attract new members and foster a sense of community among believers who may be dispersed.
The multi-talented entrepreneur states, “The Great Commission is to go into all the world, and we can’t do that in today’s time without using technology. Some strategies I cover are to:”

Jessica Marie Courts (J Jig Cicero), 2015-2016 Ohio Hip Hop Award Winning Best Female Artist was born Jan 11th in Cincinnati, Ohio and was reared in both Cleveland and Dayton, Ohio. Jig is a talented multidimensional songwriter and explosive performer of several different musical genres specializing in rap/hip hop. She is also a songwriter and performer of r&b, neo soul, and poetry. One might say that Jigs vast array of musical genus and storytelling styles is attributed to the many pathways of life in which a child from a broken home is forced to travel. Exposure to many of life’s positive and not so positive experiences birthed who we now know to be J Jig Cicero. Growing up in several homes over her childhood left her in peril. In search of answers, she found s*x, drugs and alcohol at a very young age. Indulging in all those things broadened her perception of life. She extracted from those experiences several tools for survival and later learned to channel the negative energy into positive energy, finding the passion used to bring her art form to life in the studio and on stage. Church choirs, school cafeterias, and dope houses all became home to J Jig Cicero as she traversed through life. They all became playgrounds in which she would learn to translate joy and pain into equivalent wordplay. This is where she learned to sharpen her sword and learn to wield it. That sword today is a microphone. Jig is gifted at painting lyrical collages of relevant experiences most often seen through the eyes of an inner city native. Not only is she a prolific narrator with a forthright and aggressive ear catching delivery, but also, she puts on a dynamic stage performance that most anyone would feel fortunate to witness. An unyielding J. Jig has attempted to gain acclaim in her musical career before and missed the mark. Because of her newly transformed liberated frame of mind, she now understands that failure can be one’s best teacher. Jig has stated, “I just wasn’t ready, I didn’t know nor understand many things about the art form and about life as a whole that I understand today”. She holds herself totally responsible for past failure, she states, “Immaturity, inconsistency, and lack of guidance are the reasons why I feel I didn’t fully get off the ground in the past”. As of recent years, J Jig has earned title of Best Female Artist in the state of Ohio two consecutive years in a row. This talent is truly one to keep an eye out for as she narrates about love, life, gains and losses and the societal state as a young adult in the global community.

Today she is a transmitter of positive thought and understands that dedication is the key to life’s successes. She has been reinvented; mind, body, and soul and has bravely taken the journey from once 400 pounds to now less than half of that and none of the negative baggage that it carried, “I want to be an inspiration to all who aspire to be more than what is expected of them. I want to be a catalyst for a positive change now and into the future. I want to grow to be a better person, writer, and entertainer and take the necessary actions to see that these things manifest. I believe in myself, and I believe in our youth and the music is a medium that can help make that change.” Jig could very well be a vital link into a positive transition in the lives of the American youth. J. Jig is the voice of change and catalyst for new direction in our culture. Talented, Confident, and aggressive, this is one artist who will not wait in line. This artist will pave a new path and make a lane of her very own. Keep your eyes and ears open; this is surely one you won’t want to miss.
