Culture Talks with Isaac Rocha

Isaac Rocha was born and raised in small town Las Cruces New Mexico to parents, Hector and Becky Rocha. He was born into a faith based Denomination known as the Apostolic Assembly where his father ministered throughout his entire life.

HE Graduated in 2003 from Onate High School with a full scholarship to New Mexico State and lost it shortly after the gain. He went back for a year and decided to take a break to reevaluate his options. That break quickly turned into 16 years of journeying through life with absolutely no desire to go back. He realized that traditional College just wasn’t for him.

The past 22 year’s have allowed Isaac to journey through work experiences in fast food restaurants, retail, corporate banking, Lyft driving, church worship singing/leadership, to now running his own Business from the comforts of his phone and home. His diverse skill-sets have gifted him the ability to connect deeply with people, while allowing him to service communities of families in different parts of the world. His services help families earn more income, save on taxes and insurance, while becoming properly protected in the process.

During this time, Isaac also embarked on a 14-year, 80 lb weight-loss journey that completely transformed his life. This very path took his self-love practices to new levels. Giving him a deeper understanding of his own self-healing abilities. Taking him through the phases that renewed his behaviors, habits, diet, mind, physical & spiritual body; as well every aspect of his life.

His transition to Phoenix, AZ 5 years ago accelerated his transformation and desire for change. The memory of this “shy” introvert kid hiding behind his mom’s dress is just that…a distant memory. These days, his quiet demeanor just disguises his ability to communicate with so much wisdom and clarity when he speaks.

Isaac considers himself a creative and empathic individual with a deep appreciation and love for the arts. His love for food, travel, exploration, individuality, and freedom continues to grow as he grows each and everyday. He now strives and desires to live his life one present moment at a time.

Culture Talks with Ingrid Dyer

Ingrid recently moved back to her hometown of Olathe, KS after living in Miami, FL for the last 6.5 years. Due to the pandemic, she was laid-off where she was working as a furniture buyer. She decided it was best to move back to her hometown of Kansas City due to so much uncertainty. Ingrid is 1st generation Mexican American, she was raised in a single parent household where she grew up with an absent father, sexual abuse and at times displaced without a home.

Growing up in the mid-west she experienced colourism within her race and outside of her race due to being a light skinned Latina. Though experiencing adversity in her up bringing Ingrid had the opportunity to attend an art school in Chicago where she pursued her passion and received a degree which allowed her to work for many well-known retailers & brands such as Mango clothing, New Era Cap and ACE Hardware.

When Ingrid is not working the typical 8 to 5 office job she volunteers her time at home taking in foster dogs with the Chain of Hope animal rescue organization. She is also navigating through a health & fitness journey where she is learning to heal from within. Now almost a full year since Ingrid located back to her hometown she literally finds herself in a radical 360 degree “full circle moment” grateful at a second chance to reset her life and find her balance.

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. In 2009, she embarked on an international search to reunite with her birth mother. A few years later, her journey back home was featured in the documentary, YOU FOLLOW: a search for one's past .

After the nationwide tour of YOU FOLLOW, Nisha became a public speaker, group facilitator, adoptee advocate, and published writer for PACT: An Adoption Alliance. She continues to share her personal evolution and work by other adoptees at TheAdopteediary.com.

Nisha later realized how her experience of family separation intersected with animal rights, which has led her to live a Plant-based/Vegan lifestyle to combat not only animal cruelty, but also, racism, the current climate crisis and food injustices. 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.

2016 releases.

Raised in Detroit and molded in Chicago, producer, emcee, and co-founder of The Cool Kids, Chuck Inglish, continues to mix the melting pot of hip-hop as he collaborates with a wide variety of artists across the industry. After teaming up with Sir Michael Rocks in 2007 to found the game-changing alternative hip hop duo, The Cool Kids, Inglish went on to tour the globe over, and crafted a pioneering sound that shook the foundations of hip-hop and rap.

Between 2007 and 2012, Inglish produced two studio albums and four self-released mixtapes with Rocks as The Cool Kids. The duo’s blend of retro rap and their fresh sense of style are reminiscent of Golden Age hip-hop, an era celebrated for its innovation and influence. As The Cool Kids, Inglish and Rocks have helped to shape the current digital music landscape and continue to inspire an entire generation of young, indie-alternative artists.

In 2013, Inglish released two instrumental beat tapes and his debut solo mixtape, Drop tops. In April 2014, Inglish co-produced and released his first studio album, Convertibles. The 13-track project featured collaborations with artists such as Cool Kids member, Sir Michael Rocks, as well as Chance the Rapper, Chromeo, Action Bronson, BJ the Chicago Kid, Ab-Soul, and Mac Miller. The album received as much street cred and underground success as it did critical acclaim around the world; UK's Q Magazine called the album compelling, with its "buttery rhymes and an ability to zero in on your rhythmic G-spots."

Today, Inglish is seen as an independent and unapologetic force in hip-hop, and an elder statesman for the forthcoming internet rap generation. Being a leader of the New School, he continues to work with young and aspiring artists, helping them to develop their own industry flavor.

In 2015, Inglish put the final touches on his record label, Sounds Like Fun Records. He also produced new material in anticipation of his second studio album, the aptly named Everybody’s Big Brother, which was released in September 2015. “I wanted to name my album something that meant something—what do I represent? Who am I to the world? What have I always been?” Inglish explained in an interview with Fader earlier this year. “And through this phase of years that I’ve taken to redevelop and redefine what I am, I realized that’s what I’ve been.”

Since his Cool Kids days in the mid 2000s, Inglish’s solo work has risen far above the digital landscape, crossing over into pop, funk and electronica. Meanwhile his label, Sounds Like Fun Records, also continues to soar and diversify as Inglish develops his roster further. As a producer, Inglish has expanded to work with diverse artists such as Maroon 5, Big Sean, Rick Ross, Syd The Kid, Casey Veggies, Chance The Rapper, QUIN and Yasmin, among many others.

Michele was born in New York City and moved to Colorado because of her Fathers business at a very young age. Her entire life has been about corporate relocations and has moved 11 times through her own career. She spent majority of her career in the Health Industry, going to Johnson & Johnson straight out of college. They were hiring women in the work force outside of administrative roles and believed athletes would be a “fit” into their culture. She was a downhill ski racer and became 1 out 6 of women to be hired by that company.

Her career took off due to her desire to be successful. The company trained her and kept her accountable throughout her time there. She evolved through her transitions as she was guided and advised by Executive Business Coaches that encouraged and reminded of her strong abilities to succeed.

Michele has always believed in herself and has made a career out of uplifting and believing in others. She strongly believes that you teach what you have been shown, through your experiences. Her career has now spanned over 4 decades of basic principles that still and will always rule the way we achieve success. Define what that means to you, make an agreement with yourself that you are worth it and never take anything personally. You are the Creator of your reality. With that said, CS introduces you to the beautiful Michele Consigli Foster.
