Songwriting is something that Sophia Dashing simply could not live without. Dancing professionally since age eight, signed to performing arts agencies in Atlanta, dancing on national tv shows and singing in local choirs from age six. The stage has always been something that is more than enjoyable for the Atlanta-native artist. Songwriting has been a tool of expressiveness for Dashing since adolescence and is something she's held closely, to unleash and express the deepest parts of her inner workings and life experiences.

Moving to Paris, France at the age of Eighteen to discover and study fashion design and the arts, Covid-19 struck and sent Dashing back, which led to the discovery of starting and focusing on talents in her music career. Feeling a tug and urge from the universe to dive back into what made her happiest as a child, at nineteen years old, Sophia Dashing knew she had to unleash and explore undiscovered heights with songwriting and the creative visions that came with, writing a new song every single day.
Sophia has described a love for Pop-Culture, bringing in inspiration from trailblazing artists like Britney Spears, Madonna, Aaliyah, Janet Jackson, JoJo, Ariana Grande and Taylor Swift’s songwriting, for her all-around pop sound, and performing qualities. Sophia describes her sound as Pop, with R&B influences, with a strong love for both genres.
An LGBTQ member, advocate, and intersectional feminist, being a humanitarian is extremely important to Sophia Dashing and will always be inter-connected to her music, as well as spirituality and ultimate self-expressiveness.

FUNKY MATAS: MEET THE TATTOOED MILLENNIAL AVANTE-GARDE DISRUPTOR THAT ISREDEFINING THE ART OF PHILANTHROPY
The F8 Club Founder, Guinness World Record Holder and Former Time Person of the Year Charitable Efforts are Crowdsourced Collaborations
Jorge “Funky” Matas may be best known to the general public as the Guiness World Record Holder for “Most Signatures Tattooed On One’s Back,” most recently adding Floyd Mayweather to his collection of close to 250 celebrity autographs, but to his community of loyal fans, he’s the Concierge of Charitable Acts. After surviving a near-fatal motorcycle accident, Funky dedicated his life to happiness and giving back to other people, which has fueled a movement of followers committed to the same goal.
Funky has leveraged his influence to redefine the millennial philanthropist, engaging with his more than 2.4 million social media followers to determine where - and how - his next avant garde charitable act goes down. In June, Funky and his team will head to Gambia, where they will help build a school with profits from their NFT project.
With a deep desire to not just write a check - but put boots on the ground and create a memorable, holistic experience that makes a meaningful impact in the communities he visits. His most recognizable endeavors include his Gambia activation, his mall money giveaway and recently surprising the Salvation Army with 21 thousand bottles of water.
He connects with his most loyal fans through his NFT project, The F8 Club. The invites to join the club in the initial ‘Wave Zero’ offering sold out almost immediately. The community-driven, exclusive club crowdsources philanthropic projects for Funky’s next adventure. The F8 Club plans to strategically expand membership as demand continues to grow. Many celebrities have joined the F8 Club excitement such as Ryan Tedder, Snoop Dogg, Brandon Novak, Lil Baby, Brett Phillips and more.

CARIS SPORTS FOUNDATION WILL HOST 2ND ANNUAL GOLF TOURNAMENT IN PHOENIX AT THE BILTMORE
Caris Sports Foundation, the philanthropic initiative that brings awareness to both the benefits that playing team sports bring to a child’s life - as well as the socioeconomic barriers that prevent youth participation, is hosting the organization’s 2nd Annual Caris Sports Foundation Golf Tournament at the Arizona Biltmore Golf Club in Phoenix on Friday, April 22, 2022.
The foundation was formed by four women who understand the value and wide-ranging benefits of team sports and includes Raquel McNabb, wife of 6x NFL Pro-Bowler and NFL commentator, Donovan McNabb. Those interested in participating in or sponsoring the event are welcomed to visit www.CarisSportsFoundation.org for more information.
“I was fortunate to be able to play both club and competitive sports throughout my youth and it changed the trajectory of my life,” said Donovan McNabb, Ambassador for Caris Sports Foundation. "This inaugural golf event couldn’t come at a better time - Arizonans love their golf, and this event will give people a chance to safely connect, play sports and have some fun while raising money for a great cause.”
Formed in 2019, Caris Sports Foundation is a 501(c)(3) organization that gives young people the opportunity to participate in organized sports by providing financial aid that removes financial obstacles that typically keep children on the sidelines.
Studies have shown children who participate in sports are more likely to attend and graduate from college, earn more in their careers, and avoid drugs and criminal activity. Caris Sports Foundation’s purpose is to level the playing field and directly address this disparity by removing financial considerations that often preclude families from lower income backgrounds from participating in organized sports.
Caris Sports Foundation financial aid opportunities are currently open to full-time students in grades K-12 that are Arizona residents.

Host of the Curated Kitchen on Talkshoplive shares her Journey and her love for cooking
What brought you on this journey?
Since I was a little girl I loved to take out my wooden spoon and apron and cook along side my parents who were always hosting gatherings. My love of food, music, decorating, crafting and home entertaining led me to become a party planner. I love all things Festive! Just before the pandemic I started creating DIY party kits including party food starters to make it easy and affordable to throw a super cute event!
How do you want to inspire others through cooking?
Family mealtime is quickly becoming a lost tradition in our society. I hope to revive it by sharing my family recipes using fresh ingredients and fabulous flavors to make fun, delicious, meals that are nourishing and memorable.
Does your family like to join in?
Oh my gosh yes they love to join in part of our time as a family is spent testing recipes and sitting around the table eating and being thankful that we get to be together!

It is so hard to choose one but I love creating interactive dishes like the Mashtini also known as a mashed potato bar where guests can create their perfect Mashtini based on their flavor preferences.
Favorite themed party to create.
My favorite themed party would be tropical themed! I love vibrant colors, beautiful florals, tropical flavors and anything with a tiny umbrella! The relaxed beach vibes and fun music seems to bring out the happy in people! I especially love the transition from day into night because you can add atmosphere with candlelight, tiki torches or market lights!
What has been your biggest challenge And all of this?
Bringing all of the brands that I have been developing into a cohesive package! Each one has a distinct personality and purpose and I want to make sure that I capture that!
What advice would you give to others who are wanting to enter the cooking and curating space?
Find what you are passionate about and start do not wait for it to be the perfect time. Don’t be afraid to make mistakes it’s part of the process. Do not let the word no discourage you from following your dreams. Know that not everyone will understand or support or your vision but stay steadfast anyway!
What's next for you?
I am working on a cookbook and launching new products for Nosh & Sip & Downhome Deliciousness that will be sold on talkshop.live and the Curated Kitchen & Home Store
