Southern Sunshine & Wine all began with my love for sharing the delicious wines I was drinking with people that were interested and letting them know the stories behind them. Growing up in Southern California I spent a lot of time in the Santa Barbara County wine country which is near and dear to my heart. There’s a lack of awareness by the general consumer when it comes to the wine industry and I have made it my mission to make wine more approachable and to educate on this massive industry. I am an avid supporter of small production and producers who are doing things sustainably and the right way. It’s not only better for us as consumers but also better for the Earth and generations to come.Connect with her on:Website: southernsunshineandwine.comIG: @southernsunshineandwine

The Georgia First Generation Foundation is a non-profit organization devoted to providing resources for high school students who cannot obtain a college education without these resources. These students must be first-generation students who are passionate about achieving academic success after high school. Unlike other leadership programs, the Georgia First Generation Foundation provides specific strategic plans for any college degree. Our founders, Charbel and Francisco, initially started Georgia FirstGen as a student organization. They wanted to build a club where they could bring together students just like them. Being the first in their family to graduate high school and attend college, Charbel and Francisco understood the real, yet not impossible, barriers students faced to achieve a college education. That spark of motivation and lack of resources to overcome these barriers made these curious students form a nonprofit pitch centered around their identities -- a nonprofit supporting the growth and success of first-generation students. This business pitch became the birthplace of Georgia FirstGen. Since 2016, growing from a student club to a nonprofit organization, Georgia FirstGen has built trailblazers ready to inspire those to be a part of the movement and create a sense of community for students to feel that they belong.Connect with him on:georgiafirstgen.org - WEBSITE@chrblaoun1 - IG

Her first book is centered around the concept of Ownership as it relates to the Stock Market. She learned that many people are afraid of the stock market due to a lack of knowledge so the ABCs of the Stock Market is a gateway to eliminate that barrier and introduce more people to the Stock Market in hopes of creating more ownership within her community. The other books are part of her Blended FAmilies series which was inspired by personal experiences. A lot of times Blended Families are looked at as a taboo subject but it doesn’t have to be. There are a lot of healthy and positive examples of blended families but there isn’t a lot of content or visuals telling that story. As a product of a blended family and having a blended family of her own, she is hoping to change the narrative one book and one family at a time. Her goal is to reach as many children of all backgrounds as she can and instill in them a spirit of love, ownership, and lifelong learning.  From her passion and need to create, CAMsDEN (pronounced Cam’s Den) was created, as a foundation for what’s to come. Connect with her on:Website: linktr.ee/camsdenInstagram: camsden_pubFacebook: Leslie N.
