Yaselyn Perez | Film Director & Content Strategist
I spent so much time focused on defining what my impact would be when I first began professionally. The kind of impact that we see from well known directors and documentary filmmakers. The kind of impact that lets the history books know that we were here on this earth and there’s works to prove it. I wanted to put myself in the spaces that would allow me to get to the point of being so well-known that my style speaks for itself and would eventually inspire others. That’s how I thought I could change the world. I thought that I needed to earn the eyes of a million people to make that impact. As I began reaching newer spaces and working with neighborhood heroes—I realized that my impact starts right there. Right in front of the artist that only has 30 monthly listeners on Spotify. In front of the couple that isn’t working with a huge budget, but wants to remember their wedding day. Read more>>

This also gives us the opportunity to lift important messages and campaigns to make an impact or create a change, without going too deep into it. Read more>>
Ken Ozuna | Photographer & Cinematographer
Impacting my community wasn’t something I necessarily thought about until the pandemic. When indoor dining restrictions were put in place, a lot of food businesses took refuge in online delivery services which required them to take photos. I’d often get called in, and as I photographed, I’d see weary looks about their boarded up and sparse dining rooms, empty in a Friday evening, and I knew that I had to do the best possible job to make sure the pictures are perfect. I believe we eat with our eyes, so if my photos make food look delicious on an app, I think it could really help the longevity of a business in these uncertain times. Read more>>

Sonia Groot | Accessibility and Inclusion Advocate
With GrootTravels I am changing the normal travel industry to a accessible travel industry. Just in Germany 37% of the people that have a disability decides not to travel because the accessibility is either not there or it’s too much stress to book a vacation. One-fifth of the population in Europe has a form of disability by 2020 That is one-fifth of 747 million. And in 2018 Europe was making a loss of 142 billion euros per year because the travel industry is not accessible enough. I think with these numbers it’s pretty clear that there is a huge gap between travel and accessible travel. One of the steps to a more accessible world is information. A clear overview of accessible information. GrootTravels helps people with physical disabilities to see the world by giving the up to date accessible information of a hotel. With our booking platform we want to give these people a overview of the accessibility amenities in a hotel so that they can decide if a hotel is accessible enough for them. Read more>>
Lillian Khanna | Founder & Owner, L Khanna Productions
My company, L Khanna Productions, is a production company with expertise in “mission” videography. Some of my first clients were non-profits in Palm Beach County and still continue to be my most valued clientele. I started this company with the understanding that receiving donor dollars was all about the way is which their message was received. By this time I had sat on many boards and had orchestrated many non-profit events whose success directly correlated with the marketing. So I wanted to blend my videography talents with the mission of these organizations, and L Khanna Productions, LLC was created. My production company provides high quality, mission driven content and videography services for non-profits in Palm Beach County and abroad. Read more>>

Consy Toribio | CEO & Founder
The mission behind my brand, Dominican Curly, is that “all hair is good hair.” This is actually a play on the Spanish phrase “pelo malo” which translates to bad hair. This term is often used in the Dominican Republic and in other Spanish-speaking countries to describe curly/textured hair. Through hair care, I learned that all hair is good hair if you just take care of it, and that is how I impact my community, by helping other women fall in love with their natural hair through simple and effective natural hair care. I think a lot of women are opening their eyes to the fact that some of us only disliked our natural hair because we were always told by someone else/society that it was “bad” or ugly, not professional, etc. In accepting your natural hair, you also learn to accept other parts of yourself.

Claudenie Mondesir | Psychiatric Physician Assistant and Mental Health Advocate
In the past decade, minorities often suffer from poor mental health outcomes due to multiple factors including inaccessibility of high quality mental health care services, cultural stigmas surrounding mental health care and an overall lack of awareness about mental health. We identify and understand barriers to minority mental healthcare and the lack of qualified available professional to evaluate, diagnose and treat such conditions. Minority groups such as African-Americans, Hispanics, Asian-Americans and Native-Americans are more likely to experience risk factors that can cause mental health disorders and that was one of the reasons this practice was started to help with the mental health disparities we are faced presently. Monarch Mental Health & Wellness Services pride ourselves in meeting the needs patients in all counties in the State of Florida. We are a multi-lingual minority practice that helps individuals in their native tongues and feel connected to their mental healthcare providers. Read more>>
