Culture Talks with Constance Kostrevski

Constance Kostrevski has been taking photographs since the age of eight when she received her first camera from her grandmother. Photography was a family affair; her grandfather was a portrait photographer back in Macedonia. Fascinated by her family’s history and culture, Constance began by taking portraits of her grandmother after school, taking the time to choose her outfits and adjust the setting and lighting. She soon fell into the role of photographer and stylist.

It was her interest in fashion from styling these shoots that inspired her to study fashion merchandising and marketing, earning a BA from the Illinois Institute of Art, Chicago. In 2004 she was one of twelve amateur photographers chosen for a summer residency at The School of Visual Arts, New York.

Constance lived and worked in Chicago, finding inspiration in many places: her vibrant neighborhood of Pilsen, friends, travels, architecture, nature, and music. An adept portrait photographer, Constance's ability to connect with her subjects allows her to not only capture a portrait but also to tell a story. She has defined herself through the people she shoots, allowing her portraits to show that everyone has a story to share. During this time she built connections within the Chicago music scene, hosting the pioneering online music stream Cutz on Cuts, hosting and Djing with the boogie musters and curating Record Store Day 2015 at K Starke records, now Wild Prairie Vinyl & Vintage.

From 2015-2018 She ran an after school program in collaboration with The National Mexican Museum of Fine Art - Chicago, where she taught analogue photography to children aged 7-14. At the same time Constance's love of music developed, releasing records with Beyond Luck and DJ Moppy. As well as holding down residencies at Murasaki, Fox Bar and Booze Box all in Chicago. She has worked with many artists and musicians, including comedian Hannibal Buress on My Name Is Hannibal and Live From Chicago, musician Radius on his album Neighborhood Suicide, musician Moppy on his album The Seven Wonders of the Sea, as well as with musical group The Cool Kids which was included in the “Next 1000” issue for URB magazine. Her work has been featured in print and digital publications, including the Chicago Reader, Chicago magazine, i-D magazine, Time Out Chicago, URB Magazine, XLR8R, Pitchfork and Getty images.

In 2018, Constance relocated to London, UK where she continues to draw inspiration from her new city surroundings. From volunteering at Artbox London, a charity that offers art programs for adults with learning disabilities, to volunteering with the NHS. Her work continues to inspire the art of working and serving her community through her natural abilities to create.

Culture Talks with Lauren Fisco

Lauren is student of people...a curious spirit and her love for puzzles has found her in her latest favorite role of a mortgage loan officer. She started over 20 years ago as a fitness instructor and the thrill of changing someone’s life with one class spurred a passion for teaching and contributing to help people realize that they really can do whatever they set their minds to.

Her role as a mother of two amazing men has gifted her the ability to develop many unique skills throughout her life. She had the opportunity to start an interior design company when her boys were little to help other mom’s use the resources they already had to transform their homes with very little money. She holds a Bachelors degree in Fine Art and has studied Feng Shui, astrology, science, and different mediums of art; including Sculpting. Her passion for sculpture inspired the launch of her online fitness company a few years ago.

She transitioned from fitness to Real Estate, which lead her down the path as an appraiser to now mortgage lending. She fell into the mortgage industry at a time of difficulty and struggle in a very meaningful relationship. It was at this time that she took a very deep dive into self-awareness and her limiting core beliefs. She jokes about how being a loan officer is the perfect job for a recovering codependent.

Lauren's ability to connect with people, serve and make a difference in their life is a huge driver and motivator for her everyday. She continuously practices authenticity and is amazed and grateful for the community of clients whom she has the honor of serving.

Favorite Quote: "Where there is a will there is a way." –author unknown

Culture Talks with Richard Rocha

Richard Rocha is a purpose driven, God fearing man who loves life and a good challenge. Life has molded him with the very essence of itself, time and time again. It would be fair to say that time and time again he would be tossed in the furnace of affliction or compressed between a rock and hard place. It was through these life circumstances, that God revealed how precious life truly is. He now embraces these experiences where others may find themselves complaining in. He simply learned what living life more abundantly truly is.

Culture Talks with Sandra and Kendra Espiritu

Sandra Espiritu was born in Guadalajara Jalisco, Mexico and moved to Las Cruces, New Mexico at the age of nine with her single mother and three younger siblings. She learned work ethic, independence and responsibility at a very young age. Sandra acquired her New Mexico Real Estate Broker license in 2005. After 2 years in the business, she decided to launch her own Real Estate company during one of the toughest economic times.

During the 2008 market crash, Enchanted Sun Realty was born. Sandra is the Founder and Qualifying Broker of Enchanted Sun Realty, where they pride themselves in being a local boutique, woman-owned, minority-owned, Real Estate company in Las Cruces, New Mexico and expanding to surrounding areas. Her business philosophy has always been a “People Vs. Profit” business model and positive culture. Advocating home ownership, affordable housing, and sustainable living practices is their passion. Supporting local business, entrepreneurship, and inspiring women is part of their company mission.

Their team loves contributing back to their community as well as providing free education for first time home buyers, investors and teaching financial literacy. Her business and life philosophy is to make a positive impact on those around her, her team, clients, colleagues, and the communities they serve. Sandra has seen a great need for sustainable and affordable housing options, and therefore has established a shipping container building company, ReCrated, in 2018.

Sandra has been married for 22 years and has 3 amazing children. She strives to teach them compassion, work ethic and perseverance. Having been born in Mexico and coming from very humble beginnings, she hopes to be a positive example to other Latina Women and be a great resource to elevate our community.

Kendra Espiritu was born and raised in beautiful Las Cruces, New Mexico where she still calls home today. Born into a Mexican American family and living in a border town, Kendra has developed an admiration for culture and people. Kendra is a senior studying at New Mexico State University and will be graduating December 2021 with her Bachelor’s in International Business, and minors in International Studies and Spanish.

After graduating, she wishes to pursue law school for Environmental Law. Kendra’s passion is to work with non-government entities in creating and enforcing environmental standards for businesses and communities. During Kendra’s college career, she studied abroad in Barcelona, Spain and fell in love with the experience, city and its people. This is where she hopes to return to pursue an International Environmental Law program.

But, not before she opens up her coffee, pizza, and wine lounge, Grounded Cafe, with her family this fall! Kendra has been a barista for 4+ years and has been involved in the coffee industry/ culture since she was young. Her favorite aspect about the coffee industry is its ability to bring people together and provide a shared space to be creative, make connections, and collaborate with others in the community. Grounded has been a dream of Kendra and her family for many years, as they have always wanted to own their own coffee shop. This past year, although difficult, provided the Espiritu family with the opportunity to fulfill that dream.

Culture Talks with Amee Bee

Amee means unconditional love in Sanskrit. Amee Bee is an artist and poet, born in America of Indian descent, inspired by love. She has bright blue eyes and slender artistic hands, which are rare features for Indian culture. She never painted in her life, until a sweet friend looked at her hands and told her to pursue art and poetry.

Without professional lessons in art (or poetry), she began to paint one cold January morning in 2017. Art, travel and new experiences for Amee Bee are the best outlets for self discovery, self acceptance and for her to stay in an inspired state of being. By sharing her experiences, she hopes it inspires you to be in love or do art, too.

Amee Bee adores the quirkiness of Mark Jacobs personality, wit and charm of the late Kate Spade, passion of Vincent Van Gogh- just as much as the chill vibes of Buddha and love poems by Rumi. Amee aims to find beauty in what's around her and be appreciative of what she has.

It's her secret to happiness. Art, poetry and stories are what translate from it. By sharing, she hopes you to experience the love and magic within you. Thank you for reading.

Nisha Jalmi, MS (she/her) currently resides in Oakland, California and works as a Vocational Rehab Counselor. Nisha is an intercountry, transracial adoptee from Goa, India.

Nisha’s passion for adventures and education sparked her commitment to invest in traveling the world with dear friends or alone on the open road. With the current travel restrictions, she has made time to listen and heal without distractions. Nisha values The Universe, herSELF, Mother Nature, personal growth, and new experiences.
