I run the charity football team Footballforgosh in aid of Great Ormond Street Children's Hospital. I was a patient at the hospital until the age of 16 due to trapped nerves in my lower back which should have left me paralyzed. Due to the hard work and dedication they put into me and helping my back get stronger I felt like I should do something to repay them hence the charity events. I came up with the idea during the first COVID lockdown and it's kept on growing ever since with ex/current footballer's, youtubers, actors, dancers etc messaging me asking to be involved. I chose to do this latest event with Young Goat because I've been in contact with them on and off for a while and I respect the work they put in and the effort they make to raise money for mental health charities but not only that, they are also amazing people who I get along with!

Kandi Steiner is an Amazon Top 5 bestselling author and whiskey connoisseur living in Tampa, FL. Best known for writing “emotional rollercoaster” stories, she loves bringing flawed characters to life and writing about real, raw romance — in all its forms. No two Kandi Steiner books are the same, and if you’re a lover of angsty, emotional, and inspirational reads, she’s your gal. An alumna of the University of Central Florida, Kandi graduated with a double major in Creative Writing and Advertising/PR with a minor in Women’s Studies. She started writing back in the 4th grade after reading the first Harry Potter installment. In 6th grade, she wrote and edited her own newspaper and distributed to her classmates. Eventually, the principal caught on and the newspaper was quickly halted, though Kandi tried fighting for her “freedom of press.”  She took particular interest in writing romance after college, as she has always been a die hard hopeless romantic, and likes to highlight all the challenges of love as well as the triumphs.  When Kandi isn’t writing, you can find her reading books of all kinds, planning her next adventure, or pole dancing (yes, you read that right). She enjoys live music, traveling, playing with her fur babies and soaking up the sweetness of life.

A young female powerhouse, Castille Landon has quickly made a name for herself with her nuanced approach to making films focused on the lives of strong, young women— her breakout being FEAR OF RAIN, which Landon wrote and directed, stars Madison Iseman as a teenager with schizophrenia, who becomes fixated on her neighbor, who she believes has kidnapped a little girl. The film also stars Harry Connick Jr., in a career-defining performance, and Katherine Heigl.

The third installment, AFTER WE FELL, was released in September 2021 and grossed $23mm at the international box office before enjoying a successful VOD run.

Nicole Bryl

More than a makeup artist, Nicole Bryl is the person her clients turn to again and again for friendship, confidentiality and a guiding hand behind their image, making them look and feel their most beautiful and supported. It’s no wonder Nicole is one of the most sought after makeup artists in the world and now combined with her signature Vitamin C,   4 Minute Anti-Aging Skincare Treatment (a daily 4 Step Method skin prep which she invented in her kitchen and which is now loved and used by all of her clients before she applies their makeup), her subjects are left with a beauty experience that is unmatchable.

Having had the honor on this trip to spend close amounts of time with Paloma Picasso and designer Christian Lacroix, Nicole’s creativity and standard of excellence were inspired even further. Through Paloma’s regal manor and innate understanding of art and beauty, coupled with Christian’s visionary attention to detail and design, Nicole was left with a strong impression that would raise her standard of “Artist” forever.

A graduate of Fordham University at Lincoln Center, today Nicole’s subjects faithfully count on her integrity, reliability, creativity and flawless execution. Her client list include stunners such as: First Lady Melania Trump, Ivanka Trump; Ariana Rockefeller; the France’s, also known as The First Family of NASCAR; The Feltheimer Family, who run Lions Gate Entertainment; The Hilfiger Family; Princess Charlene of Monaco; Prince Albert II; and Queen Noor of Jordan.

Joseph Pillsbury

Author of the new children’s book THE HOUSE AT THE END OF THE BLOCK. It's a Halloween themed picture story in rhyme but it's more fun than scary. The underlying lesson is to encourage children to be more curious and less judgmental. He is especially proud of the illustrations. All hand drawn pen and ink. Drawn the old fashioned way. Pen and paper.  The bulk of the book was drawn almost 30 years ago when the art was tied to a completely different story. He got a nationally known literary agency to back him as the illustrator but they were not fond of the story back then. After losing his 18 year long career with a major tech company this past spring, he decided to dive back into doing the creative stuff he loved to do. Pulled these illustrations out of storage and finished them up, discard the old story someone else had written and wrote his own story from scratch. This time in rhyme. And it just went beautifully with the illustrations.  The House at the End of the Block is available exclusively on Amazon.com. Right now. Though it has a Halloween theme it's not specifically a Halloween story. The lesson is timeless and useful year round.  He is the creator of www.Bogworld.com  the longest running internet comic strip. He is the co author of Actual Factual Magic-The Simplified Guide to Walt Disney World. The fourth edition comes out this month! www.josephpillsbury.com

Co-Owner, Young Goat

My name's Arthur and I'm a 24 year old living in London, England. Although my parents are both English, I was born in Hong Kong where I spent much of my early life. I was then fortunate enough to move to and live in both Tokyo and New York for a few years, before arriving to live in the UK permanently when I was 13. I am co-founder of the UK based clothing brand Young Goat, a company I started with my mates at the end of my time at university in Bristol. What began as a bit of a pub idea, as not a single one of us had any fashion or business experience, soon morphed into a serious venture as we began to see our message resonated with people far beyond our immediate friendship group. Armed with £50 each and no experience, we decided to give it a go! Since then, we have grown rapidly, and now have a global following with sales to 52 different countries, which we are hugely proud of. We hope to keep spreading joy and positivity across the world with our inclusive ethos, that anyone can be the GOAT (Greatest of All Time).

Anna Elizabeth James

Anna Elizabeth James is a director, writer, and producer who first caught the filmmaking bug after being given the opportunity to create her own TV show in junior high school. Ever since then Anna has had an insatiable desire to collaborate and bring artists together towards a common goal.

Anna’s third feature film, Deadly Illusions, was completed under her company banner Kiss and Tale Productions – where she wrote, directed, and produced. The film became an instant smash hit upon its release on Netflix in March of 2021. The psychological thriller, known for its bold approach and “keep-you-guessing narrative” has been featured in a myriad of publications including Forbes, Newsweek, People, Elle, E News, Fatherly, etc. for breaking numerous streaming records, landing at number one worldwide for more than 8 days and the top ten worldwide for 12 days. The story follows a bestselling female novelist suffering from writer’s block who hires an innocent young woman to watch over her twin children. As the novelist dangerously indulges in her new best seller, the line between the life she’s writing and the one she’s living becomes blurred. The film stars Kristin Davis, Dermot Mulroney, Greer Grammer and Shanola Hampton and was acquired by Voltage Pictures for domestic and worldwide sales during the pandemic. Because of the fan fever, a sequel is underway which Anna is currently writing.

Eric D’Alessandro 
Comedian, Actor

New York native Eric has always found his place in the spotlight. His passion for comedy is equally credited to his creative mindset, as well as his big Italian family which inspires his raw comedic sketches and uncensored, relatable rhetoric.  Having grown up with a camera in his hand, Eric created a YouTube channel where he developed his comedic skills from a young age. Through his sketches which feature original characters like “Maria Marie,” as well as impressions of celebrities like Drake and comedic covers of popular songs, his YouTube platform helped Eric build a loyal fanbase. The millions of views on his videos laid the groundwork for Eric to gain over 120k followers on Instagram. Through social media, Eric is able to share original, timely and relatable content for the everyday American. His recent video “Mask Off Remix (Walmart Diss)” has gone viral gaining over 16 million views across all his platforms. Due to the success of this video, Forbes featured Eric in an article about his comedy and ability to connect with fans online as well as on stage.   A pivotal moment in Eric’s career was when he moved cross-country to Los Angeles in order to pursue his passion as a creator. California has helped Eric generate a new fanbase that lies beyond the five boroughs, as well as provide him with a slew of new content, the major being the comparison of East Coast and West Coast lifestyles.    Eric has sold out most of the shows he has headlined, including 1,300 seats at New Jersey’s iPlay America and the famous 1,800 seat St. George Theater in Staten Island, NY where Eric will be recording his first stand up special. He has been featured on multiple podcasts and TV shows. He has toured up and down the east coast, in addition to shows in Canada and Las Vegas. Most notably, Eric was featured in the 2016 drama/mystery movie Nerve, alongside Emma Roberts and Dave Franco, in part because the film’s directors added him to the script after seeing his viral videos.  When Eric isn’t creating his comedic content, he is exploring the opportunities he once dreamed of, including acting, producing, writing and directing.

Nancy Volpe-Beringer

 

Designer Contestant on Project Runway
At age 58, Nancy took a risk and left her career at the pinnacle of her success to enroll in a master’s program at Drexel University in hopes to reignite her passion for fashion. Since graduating in 2016, Nancy has been designing under her label and defines her all-inclusive aesthetic as wearable, androgynous art for all shapes and sizes, working out of her Philadelphia studio. Her designs have been featured at Philadelphia Fashion Week and regularly in Philadelphia’s iconic fashion concept store, Joan Shepp. Her collections have shown at an array of fashion shows including the March 2019 Wharton Fashion Show, December 2018 Joan Shepp Holiday Pop Up, and the October 2018 Libertae Fashion Show. Her desire to “pay it forward” results in her being the featured designer at many community-sponsored fashion events, including the 2018 and 2019 Salvation Army Garbage Bag Gala. She has mentored for the Refugee Women's Textile Cooperative (RWTC), a program that empowers refugee women with sewing and textile skills. Nancy currently sells her pieces online, in local boutiques, and custom designs couture for private clients, including 2019 Grammy nominee Tierra Whack; which won her a “Best in Philly” fashion design award. Nancy takes pride in her craftsmanship and artistry, turning fantasy in to fashion with her unique designs. She hopes that her appearance as the oldest contestant ever to compete on “Project Runway” will jump-start the expansion of her brand, and help her inspire others to follow their passion, regardless of age or circumstances.

Rabbi Cantor Judy Greenfeld

Judy Greenfeld is one of those rare women who are ordained as both rabbi and cantor. At Nachshon Minyan, the alternative congregation she established in the San Fernando Valley, Greenfeld seamlessly melds the two roles, delivering services that are an energizing fusion of music, meditation, movement and overall wellness. It’s all part of Greenfeld’s mission to make Judaism fresh and relevant, with a congregation, worship, and special programs that are hospitable and inclusive of everyone. However, Greenfeld has not always embraced her Judaism. Being distanced from her faith during her young adult years has had a profound impact on the way she practices and “preaches” today.

Emma Slater

The winner of Dancing with the Stars 2017, Emma Slater, got her start far from the bright lights of Hollywood. Raised in Tamworth, a medieval town in Staffordshire, England. At the age of four, Slater diligently studied ballet at Novelli Stage School where she developed her love of dance. At the age of sixteen, Slater starred in the stage show, Simply Ballroom, as Principal Latin Dancer. She went on to win the 2005 British Under 21 Latin American Championship at Blackpool and the 2006 UK Under 21 Latin American Championship at Bournemouth. Slater was ranked in the World Top 20 for Under 21 Latin.  In 2007, Slater made her silver screen debut in the Universal Pictures movie, Mamma Mia, with Meryl Streep, where she also sang on the soundtrack. Later that year, Slater was featured in Dirty Dancing at the Aldwych Theatre in London.  Slater joined the Latin and Ballroom show, Burn the Floor, for the world tour and residency on Broadway at Longacre Theatre in 2009. Three short years later in 2012, Slater was invited to join Season 14 of ABC’s Dancing with the Stars. Initially as a troupe member, Emma progressed to Pro status for Season 17. In her first season as a Pro, Slater waltzed her way into the Finals.  Early summer of 2012 took Slater from “feature” to teacher, when she choreographed mega-star, Usher, at the Billboard American Music Awards at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.   The fall of 2016 saw Emma, a self-tanning connoisseur, create a partnership with Norvell. Already a fan of their formulas, Emma worked with Norvell, a brand once only available in professional salons, to create the Dancing with the Stars Self Tanning Collection with Vio-7. It is the first, and only, sunless tanner to include Vio-7 Anti-Orange Formula, a unique blend of bronzer pigments designed to counter unwanted orange undertones. With Slaters help, the brand found distribution at Walmart, Amazon and on HSN.  In a 2017, Emma and partner, NFL star, Rashad Jennings, won the coveted mirror-ball trophy in a moment, second only to, her live on-air proposal by fellow Dancing with the Stars cast member, Sasha Farber. At present, Slater is on tour with Dancing with the Stars Live! When not on tour, Emma resides in West Hollywood, California with her fiancée and their furry four-legged baby, Ruby.    www.TanDWTS.com

Lights Camera Jackson CHAIR-ATHON 2017 to benefit Michael J. Fox Foundation

Film critic Jackson Murphy (aka Lights Camera Jackson) has sat in hundreds of movie theater chairs throughout his career. On Tuesday, Aug. 8, he will sit in THOUSANDS! As part of LCJ Chairathon 2017, Jackson will do the unimaginable by sitting in every seat in the Regal Colonie Center Stadium 13 & RPX Theater (Albany, NY), non-stop. The 18-year-old member of the Broadcast Film Critics Association is performing the feat to raise funds for The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research.  “I have a close family member who’s fighting Parkinson’s right now, so she’s my inspiration for this,” Jackson said. “Plus, I’ve always been a big fan of Mr. Fox and how he has lived and worked with Parkinson’s disease.”   The Movie (Theater) Event of the Year!  LCJ Chairathon 2017 will be streamed LIVE on multiple platforms (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram), so people around the globe can follow Jackson as he goes row by row, section by section, auditorium to auditorium, sitting in every chair in the multiplex - all 2,740! “I started training a few months ago. For a typical movie I spend at least two hours in the same seat,” said Jackson. “For this event I’ll be spending about two seconds in each seat, so it’s definitely going to be a challenge.” Jackson is asking movie fans throughout the world to donate a penny per chair ($27.40), though donations of all sizes will be appreciated. As a Team Fox event, 100 percent of the proceeds will go directly to The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research.
Donations can be made at: www.fundraise.michaeljfox.org/LCJChairathon

Willie Freitas

Herbivore Botanicals Assistant Account Manager

Brand Bio: Dynamic wife and husband duo Julia Wills and Alex Kummerow began their skin care journey 5 years ago with a single soap-making kit and unstoppable inspiration. Having recently finished an education in holistic health, Julia was determined to create a gentle and naturally nourishing soap to ease Alex's easily irritated skin. Discovering an intuitive knack for formulating, she quickly impressed not only her husband, but also her friends and family with a wide assortment of natural remedies that went way beyond a cleansing bar. Sharing his wife's frustration with chemical-based mainstream skin care options, Alex put his creative zeal for multi-media graphic design to work and Herbivore Botanicals debuted on Etsy in 2011. 5 years later, Julia and Alex have set the skin care bar for truly natural results-driven luxury.

The A&M | Lifestyle Blog


The A&M is a lifestyle blog aimed at being a site for everyone. We started our blog for a few reasons. We wanted a creative outlet where we could share our thoughts and ideas. We love fashion, skin care, food, and more! After spending our college years in the books, we needed a creative outlet. After putting it off long enough, we decided to go for it and start our very own blog. We love being able to share our tips and tricks with everyone. It seemed as if our friends kept asking us about the ins and outs of our everyday lives. We also wanted a place where we could talk about the things we love. We hit a point where we knew we needed a place to share all of those things. Hence, the creation of The A&M.

Karen S. Behnke

Founder & CEO of Juice Beauty

Juice Beauty is an Organic eco-chic beauty products company. Karen developed a keen interest in personal care products upon becoming pregnant with her first child at the age of 40, and was astounded to learn that, although the skin absorbs over 60% of what is placed on it, there were very few available healthy personal care products that worked well. Karen subsequently bought the name "Juice Beauty" and launched the company.

Juice Beauty now has over 125 employees and has key retail partnerships with ULTA Beauty's prestige section, Whole Foods, Parmaca, and high end spas and boutiques such as Rancho La Perta, Blue Mercury and Murale with Juice Beauty's products selling in more than 1200 stores.
