Melissa Ambrosini
Melissa Ambrosini has inspired people to be their best selves for many years. She began her career as a model, TV presenter, actress and professional dancer before shifting to motivational speaking, writing and podcasting. Ambrosini’s health played a major role in her transition. “I was trashing my body,” she states. “I was partying, I was not eating healthy foods, I was not exercising. I had a very loud inner critic and toxic thoughts in my mind. I did not value sleep or water. I did not value nature or meditation. I did not value many things.” She goes on to say, “The universe took my health away from me and it made me realize how important it was. It forced me to make a shift.”

Coincidence or Calculated Decision?
I realize the excitement and interest is on the basketball court, however I cannot help but ponder how (and if) Leonard Hamilton's history of breaking racial barriers were conscience decisions or just a byproduct of the opportunities. He may not even have that answer. Frankly, we should not ask why he does it. We should simply be in awe of his impact on college athletics.

Giovanni Morassutti Interview on Art Aia - Creatives / In / Residence
Stars Making a Social Impact: Why & How Actor Giovanni Morassutti Is Helping To Change Our World At the moment, I am consolidating collaborations with several international partners and with the Region of Friuli- Venezia Giulia. The activities of the art center resonate with the local community. The outcomes of my projects are usually open to the public and have received a particular interest among the local people. I am also aiming to foster cultural tourism and community involvement. Friuli- Venezia Giulia is a culturally unique region shaped by history, traditions and art. I would love to collaborate with other local entities. I would say that at this stage, the three things that would support my effort would be to promote my cause, donate to the art center, and collaborate on our projects.

Thanks from your biggest fan....
Dear Soror Phylicia Rashad, You have been someone I have looked up to for over 3 decades. The class, poise, confidence and sophistication you exude are what kept my eyes on you, even after the Cosby Show. I have talked about you to anyone who would listen. As an educator, I always would tell my students that I was blessed to grow up in an era where class was accepted and respected. I praise you for always dressing and acting with class and decency. You were the type of woman I always wanted to be once I “grew up”.
