Guest Biography:

PAOLINA MILANA

Embarking on her latest book, Committed: A Memoir of Madness in The Family (She Writes Press, May 4, 2021), author, speaker, podcaster, and founder of Madness To Magic, Paolina Milana’s mission is to share stories that celebrate the triumph of the human spirit: To unleash the power that lies within each of us to bring about change for the better. 

Milana’s professional background is rooted in journalism where as a features writer for a major daily newspaper in the Midwest, she told the stories of other people. Then she moved to the field of PR/media and digital marketing as an executive in both corporate and non-profit environments. Given her experience in an emotionally tumultuous household where she was put in the position of caregiver to unstable family members, she is uniquely qualified to serve as a Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) for children in foster care and as an empowerment and resiliency coach, using storytelling to help people reimagine their lives, write their next chapters, and become the heroes of their own journeys. 

Paolina has won awards for her writing, including her first book, The S Word, which received the National Indie Excellence Award. Her self-help picture book for adults, Seriously! Are We There Yet?!, and her holiday fiction novel, Miracle on Mall Drive both published in late 2020. Paolina is first-generation Sicilian, married, and lives on the edge of the Angeles National Forest in Southern California.

PRAISE FOR COMMITTED:

“COMMITTED is a must-read for anyone struggling with mental illness…This raw memoir brings to light the reality of madness — both in terms of what may surround us and that which may lurk within us.” – Samantha Dunn, author of Failing Paris and Not By Accident

“Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing this book in exchange for an honest review. This book easily earns all the stars! It’s probably one of the best books on mental illness that I have ever read. Paolina Milana tells her story of having a mother, then later a sister, with paranoid schizophrenia with such honesty and passion. The toll that being a caregiver has on her is completely understandable and she shows real courage. I highly recommend this book!” ~ Librarian

“A modern-day ‘Girl, Interrupted’ but with family. Paolina Milana is an incredible writer and is very brave for sharing her story with us. Mental illness is still seen as taboo and she is breaking down what happens when we are taught to keep it all in the family and never air dirty laundry.”  5 out of 5 stars ~ NetGalley

Guest Occupation: Govenor and US Senator
Guest Biography:

Sworn in as governor in 1994, George Allen set about to bring sweeping reform that would make Virginia a national model in economic development, public safety, education accountability, welfare reform and creative government. He challenged critics and sentiment that suggested it couldn’t be done, reining in government spending and substantially reducing the size of the state workforce. And he accomplished his reform agenda with bi-partisan support.

Elected to the U.S. Senate in 2000, Mr. Allen continued to advocate for Virginia’s families. He strove to make Congress live like families do – within its means – by introducing and advocating for real budget reform including a balanced budget amendment, line-item veto and a paycheck penalty for Members of Congress when they fail to pass appropriations bills on time.
 
Since leaving the U.S. Senate, George Allen has continued to advocate for the issues and ideas he has always fought for. He launched the American Energy Freedom Center, whose mission is to advocate positive ideas for American jobs, economic prosperity and promote increased freedom, opportunity and competition in the development and use of our vast energy resources. George also serves as the Reagan Ranch Presidential Scholar for the Young America’s Foundation.

Football has always been a central part of George Allen’s life. In his recently released book, What Washington Can Learn from the World of Sports, he presents solutions that can work to put people across America in a position to compete and succeed in achieving their dreams.

THE VOICE OF 'GENESIS REVISITED'

EXCLUSIVE  Z O O M  INTERVIEW

ON INTERVIEWING THE LEGENDS

with RAY SHASHO

 

Nad Sylvan was born in the USA but raised in Sweden by his grandparents. He began playing the piano at the age of four and started composing almost immediately. His first performance at age eight ended very suddenly with Nad fainting over the keys from sheer nervousness... a great way to start!

Having worked with ABBA's Michael B. Tretow, Rednex (remember Cotton Eye Joe?), being in and out of various bands, trying to write "hit songs" but never being in sync with time, Nad's dreams of success had almost come to an end when he was accidentally lured back into the prog rock scene...

In 2008 Nad was involved with the highly acclaimed Unifaun album; a project of original music paying homage to the 70's era Genesis.

The Unifaun album, and in particular Nad's voice (often described as a mix of Gabriel and Collins) caught the attention of Roine Stolt of The Flower Kings and Transatlantic. Together they formed Agents Of Mercy in 2009 and have released three albums to date; The Fading Ghosts of Twilight (2009), Dramarama (2010) and The Black Forest (2011) as well as touring extensively.

Then one day an email arrived in Nad's inbox: "Hi Nad, this is Steve Hackett..."

Acclaimed by many to be GENESIS’S finest album, Selling England By The Pound will be performed by Hackett and company in its entirety. Supported by some of the best musicians on the planet, Steve's unique guitar work remains the fulcrum on which this challenging and exhilarating show is balanced. In addition, Hackett will perform selections from Seconds Out. Rescheduled & New USA shows begin April 2022 including four dates in Florida.

"I'll take on the world ... After my morning coffee"

Overcoming obstacles, to leverage strength and resiliency.
With Kara Kennish - Owner/Operator Tim Hortons Canada - Speaker and Philanthropist - Universal Women's Networks 100 Women of Inspiration - Advocate for Equal Opportunity.

Kara Kennish is a female business owner of a busy franchise in Ontario, Canada, who evolved from being a competitive teenage athlete who was almost obsessive about her weight, to surviving as a single mum, to leading by example in her business and her community while serving and her philanthropy endeavours.

"I'm a third generation Tim Hortons franchisee with a desire to help change the world. I'm determined to utilize the unique platform I have to make a difference in our communities both locally and internationally."
 

Her athletic history has provided her with opportunities to share her story with young girls across Canada, representing Tim Hortons in their collaboration with Barbie for the "Dream Gap", "You can be anything" and "One-of-a-king-Barbie" campaigns.
 
She dives into being an ambitious teen in competitive sports, and rigorously managing her weight so that she could compete, and win. Her personal trauma happened several years ago, after returning from a georgeous European vacation with her husband being so in love with him. A month later he came home one evening to tell me he would no longer be a husband or father and that he was leaving us for his 20-something year old co-worker.
 
With her life thrown upside down in those moments while she tried to sort out her own life- while trying to help her (then almost 14-year old) daughter also battle the abandonment.
Her dream is to build her Tim Hortons empire, to empower women specifically through leadership and sport, to be a change-maker in this world through her philanthropic efforts, all supporting equal opportunity with the THFC - Tim Hortons Foundation Camps, Empowerment Squared, and the Grindstone Awards. A success story is one built on grit, determination and resilience - with an independent streak for good luck!
