This camp organization (on of 2) were created to work with teenage girls to boosting their self-esteem so that they become healthy and productive young women, equipped to handle the pressures of the world.

Below are some questions for Karima  to know a little about her:

1. Why have you decided to create this Facebook fanpage?

I wanted a networking page where girls (of all ages) could meet and exchange information, tips, and a sense of togetherness, meet friends, help, support, and guide our young(er) girls to a successful life.

2. What new experiences have you had as a result of creating the page?

The connections I’ve made with wonderful women from all over the world. Being int

erviewed from women who have similar goals and desires is priceless. Some of these women I lean on for guidance and support on this journey. We are trekking together.

3. Where are you from?

Philadelphia, PA, USA

4. What would you say to someone who is interested in creating their own Facebook fanpage?

Create the fanpage based on the outcome not the name of your company or organization. For instance my company name is Camp CAYA—I knew no one would know or recognize it, so I decided to make it a name that many can resonate with, “healthy self-esteem for girls”.

5. Do you have a story to share about something you have posted up on their wall…or what hassomeone else posted on theirs?

I love when I have an original quote and people love it. They ask me can they re-post or re-tweet it. I can always detect a winner because the “likes” are plentiful. I am going to release a calendar in December based on the most popular quotes.

6. What do you do for a living?

I am a Creative Life coach for teenage girls and their supporters. I created an organization, Camp Come As You Are, (CAYA) We work with Teenage girls on boosting their self-esteem so that they become healthy and productive young women equipped to handle the pressures of the world. I provide a proven step-by step blueprint on self-acceptance and love.

7. How do you handle adversity?

I meditate and allow the answers to come. Many times I create a mind map full of next action steps and solutions. I need to get my thoughts out of my head to reduce stress so I can move forward in the best possible way. What does not kill us makes us stronger. I am believer of enjoying the journey, its not always about the destination!
Yoga helps me too. Moving Meditation

Shaun Neblett, pen name MC SNEB, is a Harlem based playwright and founder of Changing Perceptions Theater. In this video, he accounts his journey to become a playwright starting from the age of 17 when he was in high school. He wanted to write something different for the youngsters of his age who are into poetry, and decided to follow this passion.

With the help of his father who found a youth theatre company al the local YMCA. With a new mentor and the support from his dad, Shaun began writingplays. At the end of high school, he recieved an opportunity for one of his writings to be adapted into full play production in New York City.

In his writings,  it is evident his love for music and hip hop culture hence his reason to self produce HOMAGE 3:ILLMATIC.  It is the first  installment in his 7 Homages for 7 MC’s, a cycle of plays Neblett is designing in the spirit of 7 classic Hip-Hop albums and their individual themes. HOMAGE 3: ILLMATIC is the third piece in the cycle and the first piece to be produced.  He feels that the time to present inspirational stories of people of color is NOW. “America seldom sees characters of color that win, especially in the theater,” says Neblett. “I couldn’t wait any longer to see a play that people I know, value and can relate to. Hip-Hop culture has and continues to influence the entire world.. It’s about time that we pay honor and further investigate the motivational merits of the culture.”

The play is dedicated to Rapper NAS, one of New York’s leading rap voices who expressed an outspoken, self-empowered swagger that rallied the streets of his city and elsewhere. The play is about the journey of one man to find himself.

The production was done in Harlem because his love for Harlem is reflected in his works: its spirit, its rhythm, its people. The play will be shown in Black River Dance Center for Performing Arts.

Justin Tillman takes on “beliefs” as he explains what are they, how they develop and where they come from. Have you ever thought about how difficult it to change your thoughts?

In this first segment, he further explains that beliefs are perceptions that we feel without our knowledge. It is an external idea that has been accepted, therefore, it creates reality. I think, I believe, therefore it is.

Following the tremendous success of the book Children of China, this vision for Children of Africa was born.

With the team up of renowned fashion stylist Alethea Gold and award winning children’s photographer, Luca Zordan who worked together for many years, they compiled a beautiful photographic book showcasing children in China with all proceeds donated to the Chi Heng Foundation to support orphaned HIV/AIDS affected children in Central China.

In time for the Beijing Olympics, the book was endorsed by Jackie Chan with a full support of the Chinese Government and corporate support worldwide with the likes of Coca Cola, Citibank, KPMG, Qantas, MAC, Louis Vuitton, and many more.

The team is doing it this time in South Africa undertaking their time, pro-Bono, to the Children of South Africa project. 100% of the profits are being donated directly to the MaAfrika Tikkun charity (of which Nelson Mandela is the Chief Patron) to support orphans and vulnerable children in South Africa.

The Children of South Africa is a stunning photographic journey capturing South African children from every walk of life, set against some of the most beautiful landscapes and architecture. These powerful, emotive images will highlight the magic, diverse beauty and spirit of hope that is South Africa.

The book has been launched before the opening of FIFA World Cup which is being held in South Africa. It is a corporate gift which is not only a memento for South Africa but will make a genuine change especially for the South African children. The proceeds from the sale of the book will subsidize sports and soccer programs for HIV/AIDS affected orphans and vulnerable children in 6 townships.

Luca and Alethea are passionate about helping and empowering children all over the world. It is with your help that they can continue make a difference and share the magic of seeing the world through the children’s eyes. By buying this book and using it as a corporate gift, you will give a memento to remember and at the same time help make a difference.

The first exhibition was held in New York City last June 18, 2010. The first edition of the book is sold out and the next edition is currently in process to be printed.

We had the chance to connect with Cinthia and Ivan who created a Facebook fan page to motivate and empower people through their business Innergy Creative Enterprises. We asked the questions and they answered them. Check it out!

Innergy Creative Enterprises was created when Ivan and I reconnected through a transformational training that clarified that we had the same vision of creating inner peace and through individual inner peace to ultimately create world peace. Our purpose is to touch as many lives as possible because our vision is that everyone has an opportunity to reach for their dreams and to know that who they are is very important for the world. Everyone has an opportunity to fulfill their purpose and how beautiful it would be that everyone is truly living in their purpose and know it from deep within that they are fulfilling their purpose. As Innergy Creative Enterprises we are comitted to our purpose and that is to spread our knowledge and touch lives.

Here are a few questions we asked Cinthia and Ivan to share with their followers:

1.Why have you decided to create this Facebook fanpage?

with Les Brown, Motivational Speaker

We decided to have a fan page when we officially launched our company Innergy Creative Enterprises. We wanted to let the world know that we had partnered up. We also wanted to bring our energy out into the open with everyone we knew. Basically we want to make a difference in the world.

2. What new experiences have you had as a result of creating the page?

The most exciting experience is of course seing the action people have taken as a result of our coaching and our videos. It feels good to know that we are on the right track to what our vision is and creating Inner Peace and World Peace. Not everything has been positive of course….but that has also been an experience of growth. Everyone is entitled to their opinion.

3. Where are you from?

Cinthia is a 1st generation immigrant from Mexico who grew up in the Coachella Valley-Palm Springs/Cathedral City. Ivan was born in California. His father came from Mexico City at the age of 15 in the early 1960’s and my mother came from Cuba in the 1960’s. I grew up in Los Angeles

4. What would you say to someone who is interested in creating their own Facebook fanpage?

I would say that as long as what you are bringing into the world will make this world a much better place because you are bringing your heart into it…then Go For It! Be true to yourself! Change the world in your uniqueness!

5. Do you have a story to share about something you have posted up on their wall… or what has someone else posted on theirs?

We once had a guest for one of our interviews who spoke about the Divine Feminine (Alicia Smith)….We had great feedback from that interview and people were ready to go out and get in touch with their divine feminine…the funny part was that there were males speaking about doing it.

6. How do you deal with Adversity?

We come from the belief that things in life are neither good or bad, right or wrong….they simply ARE. Therefore we can always grow from every experience and we choose what we make of it. Adversity is truly the prosperity of the great…so Bring it on….this means there is prosperity in the horizon! Some tools that we use are 1) Invest in your mind 2) Visualize Your Dream Daily! 3) Build a team for Accountability 4) Never give up no matter what!!

7. What do you do for a living?

We are both breakthrough coaches and speakers. Ivan also owns an air conditioning business.

One point she would really like to emphasize upon is the amount of goodwill and helping spirit that they encounter at Motivational Thoughts….she is amazed to see how many of their members have become Facebook friends with each other and how many people seem to find like minded relationships/friendships here. The way members help out each other with doubts, crisis and questions – just fills her up with wonder, amazement and a LOT of pride.

Rachna said:”Motivational Thoughts seem to have expanded my work (( non-paid of course )) to a large extent. My inbox is usually flooded with mails and queries. Usually from members or FB users who are in need of support or advice at that moment in time. I feel grateful and honoured with the trust that they place into me and my ability to advice them regarding matters that are close to their lives and heart.”
