IPNews:  How have you become influentially famous, what is it due to?

Somehow most of my relatives help people and that is how I was taught since I was a child – they also emphasized the importance of being well-mannered and educated. Therefore, my efforts in research to psychologically comprehend peoples’ ailments and give them advice that would extend to them a more joyous resolution. I have dealt with persons whose personalities have ranged from bad-tempered, nosy, and grumpy and I have seen their disposition change just by conversing with them and being attentive to their history.  

I have been given the opportunity many times by media in general, companies, CEOs, etc. to participate greatly in the public sphere. It has been a pleasant experience working with people who professionally made me realize the facets of the industries.

IPNews: How are you a people-person?

I want to share that I have committed my life to people from all statuses, lifestyles, religions, races, and backgrounds from an early age. I have lived all my life in Manhattan, NYC. I have attended public, religious and private schools. Attended Hunter College, Graduated from CUNY college in Harlem. Have visited all the boroughs and many cultural enclaves.

In view of my multicultural family and ancestry and various languages learning, and as an  interfaith minister,  I can relate to anyone regardless of who they are. I am nonjudgmental and I will listen to everybody that needs help.

IPNews: Do you have any message you would like to share with our readers?

Life is precious since it is a unique gift created by a supernatural being for   a purpose. Humans have not yet found the capabilities to invent life.

   Lifespans here on Earth are short and there is so much hatred, ignorance, wars,   crimes, etc -instead there should be happiness, peace, love and to help one another. Regardless of differences we can think of better ways to overcome conflict and bring about optimistic unity.

IPNews: You are a fashion model, can you share with us about the fashion industry you are involved in?

My relatives have passed on hereditary, nostalgic, cultural, traditional family values which we share such as etiquette, honoring nature and life in all its  forms. Therefore, when modeling I have blended eras, cultures, perspectives, and raised awareness of global causes.

   I had received all kinds of proposals including modeling proposals.  I work on various projects which are completed gradually and are for  the improvements to society.

As I have discussed in other interviews or press releases before, I have changed political parties thrice in the order as follows Democrat, Independent, Republican, and Democrat currently, and I have voted in favor of diverse parties (swing voter).  The ideologies inherent in each party can be appreciated if one researches their concerns.   There were instances where contrasting parties were civil and others when seemed antagonistic.

One can see how political parties have transformed themselves, become defunct, and politicians create new parties, other countries, and regions have no parties, one, two, or multi-party systems. Those running for office might have changed parties throughout their lifetime.

My perspective is that I am open to beliefs, and I do not judge each party’s principles. 

If you take an online quiz “What is your political ideology quiz, what is your political leaning, what political typology quiz, political compass, personality quiz, etc.” you might be surprised that you might get different answers just by the way the questions are shaped.  

If political clubs, associations, conventions, and so on are biased and impolite it can lead to members breaking away from the party.  I am a conglomeration of ideas -nonetheless, I am veering toward the Democratic freedom principles including freedom of speech, freedom of thought, and freedom of association.  I value the liberties on which USA was founded and it is a pity when American civil liberties, privacy rights, and civil rights are breached.  Notably, civil liberties, protests, and media make people acquainted with those violations. I respect that the USA is defined as both a Federal Democratic Republic or a Constitution Republic and Representative Democracy. I opine that each party brings novelties to repair society. Likewise, I have researched political parties/ideologies globally and each has its utility and strategies to improve their zones.

IPNews:   Do you believe in fairer laws, and policies for minorities, disabled, and other marginalized groups?

 I consider that marginalized communities or individuals are unfairly ostracized from the advantages of the majority or those with easy access. These marginalized groups are discriminated against for factors such as “race, culture, religion, lifestyle, gender, age, disability, non-citizenship, language barriers, etc.” During the pandemic, these same groups were the most vulnerable to poverty, abuse, underrepresentation, unemployment, health conditions, and devoid of resources. 

These systematic inequalities are costing millions to trillions globally depending on what each group is undergoing.

Political inclusion which helps them participate in politics can give them a voice in the political process and the judiciary system. The laws and policies need reform and to be enforced not just to keep constructing laws evading by those in office. The international, national and local communities can convene and converse in forums: types of investments, funding, donations, policies, educational distribution, initiatives in promoting equal rights, and improving rights.

IPNews: How do you feel about gerrymandering across the United States? Do you believe it is a major issue in New York?

Gerrymandering has a far-reaching history in the US, its name is said to have begun in the 1800s by US settlers. I believe this is going on with different tactics here in New York and it happens internationally as articles say. For instance, the main political parties want to remain at the top whereas the minor parties are involuntarily pushed aside and even disbanded because of limited resources and dishonest means. 

Vote buying, vote selling, electoral fraud, voter suppression, and election manipulation have become a gigantic illegal business and they vary in techniques – basically influencing or determining the election outcomes. Examples are: When voters are bribed to vote, when candidates have questionable donors, enter fraudulent ballots, when candidates ask voters to vote in exchange of favors., all these and much more are grounds of corruption that denies the people of political integrity. 

Immigrants since long ago have contributed industriously to our economy and the world.

They usually work long hours and under risky conditions, they helped build our economy and continue to do so. People’s ancestors most likely were immigrants. Each borough and the world have its demographic or cultural neighborhoods where immigrants or the same or related cultures unite. Immigrants should be treated fairly and not be discriminated against.

They are generally discriminated against because of their language barriers, poverty, culture, race, religion, status, lifestyle, gender, age, education, xenophobia, and stereotypes. Nonetheless, when given the opportunity to excel they have dedicated themselves to their work or education.  

It is known in newspapers and human rights groups that immigrants detained are being constantly abused and many have fallen victim to crime, injuries, and even death which could have been prevented. It is essential to treat immigrants as humans and set up policies, and rules that make it safe for them. 

Influence is the ability to persuade customers, and clients, to purchase your products, services, or others. If your product/service gains trust it elicits brand loyalty or customer loyalty and continuous commitment to your business.  Influence is good in business because it generates reliable transactions, commerce, and partnerships.  Influence can bring an increase in work output and cordial, sociable networks. It can widen your team and enhance sales by making connections. Society itself is an influencer. Mass Media, and groups, can have a social influence either for good or bad. Role models can positively influence society by notifying people about healthy practices and bringing about prolific business.

There are various types of business ownership or structure. Community businesses are usually helpful to the community as they provide jobs and local products/services crucial to daily living. International business aids in diversification, oftentimes tax rates, foreign direct investment benefits, and so on.  Businesses with their industries and sectors cater to diverse needs and with it a profundity of assistance.
