Representative Adeoye "Oye" Owolewa is a proud Nigerian-American born in Boston, Massachusetts. His parents, born and raised in Nigeria, raised him with 2 guiding principles, a value in community service and an early exposure to science. This exposure became a love for science, culminating in him achieving a Doctorate of Pharmacy.
Upon graduation, he moved to Washington, D.C. to practice in 2014. He currently resides in Ward 8 and has used his time in Washington, D.C. to get to know his community by becoming involved in local politics. He also volunteers at the neighborhood elementary school to get kids interested in STEM.
Rep. Oye has also advocated for DC Statehood since his inception in politics, and now as your newly elected US Representative for the District of Columbia, a millennial, advocate, and a first-generation American he will fight for equality for all Washington, D.C. residents by achieving DC Statehood.
As State Representative and today as Weld County Commissioner, Lori has been a champion for the people against progressive Marxists and “Republicans” who act like Democrats, and is running for Congress to fight for freedom against the Biden-Harris-Schumer-Pelosi Gang and their Socialist-Communist Agenda.
As our voice in the State House, Lori Saine bravely and boldly took on radical left-wing environmental extremists and defended our oil and gas jobs, our water rights and our Colorado way of life. In Congress, Lori will stand tall against Coastal Elites who do not understand Colorado and those of us who choose to live here.
With our open borders out of control, trillions of dollars printed and borrowed from China destroying our economy and an administration that hates our police, hates our freedoms and most particularly wants our guns, Lori’s courage and bluntness is needed now more than ever.
LORI SAINE WILL STAND UP FOR OUR AMERICA.

Lori also volunteers for community charities and church ministries and served as coordinator and instructor for Constitutional Champions Kids Patriot Camp, a day camp teaching about the Constitution and American Patriotism.
America’s future is on the line. It’s not enough to just elect a Republican to this new Congressional seat. Colorado conservatives are looking for a champion. And her name is Lori Saine.

Sifu Slim has been a world traveler since 1978.
He has been a business traveler since working on the Paris Stock Exchange in 1983. He and his friends used to run through the streets of Paris and do push-ups and calisthenics under the outline of the Eiffel Tower and, in the summer time, jump right in the fountains at Trocadero to cool off. “We weren’t the only ones ‘les guardiens’ were after…” he confesses.
His European roots are important in his ethic of seeking the slower, old-school ethic. “When I look at my family’s home villages in Germany, Ireland, and Alsace-Lorraine, I see how people are still connected to the land. This is important in grounding ourselves, literally, spiritually, and emotionally. Being in the earth, touching it, working with plants and animals, being in nature–all of this is import for the natural order of things.”
As a young man, Sifu was also into resistance training with weights and machines three to four times per week, but, in his early 30s, realized that it wasn’t the way to continue for his lifetime practice. Too much sluggishness, joint pain, and muscle soreness. It also negatively impacted his practice of other sports like golf and tennis.
Sifu worked at special events as a professional mascot for 4 years from age 28 – 32. This was a lot of fun and helped him get super fit, but it also resulted in some repetitive stress injuries from doing hip-hop dancing in a heavy, cumbersome outfit. He found lots of help from his practice of Myotherapy–a series of techniques he learned in 1986 from a family of health and wellness practitioners who studied Bonnie Prudden’s “Pain Erasure.” Sifu now offers seminars and workshops in staff acupressure.
My guests are TwinRays: Shekinah Ma and Sanandaji. Having re- united at the Great Pyramid of Egypt, they began their merging of life paths and service work, both already having established their own world followings. As they met, they remembered that they were already married and had walked together in service before this life, recited their last incarnations’s set of vows within the King’s Chamber after only days of the rekindling. Led by this Divine Love marriage sharing beatific vision, Ancient Wisdom, and gnosis of unchanging Truth, Shekinah Ma and Sanandaji have walked the path of the Initiated Mystic and now help their TwinRay global community to action selfless service to humanity and the Earth. This is accomplished through powerful healing certifications, free Sat Sangs, retreat immersions at their Sanctuary or TwinRay living artwork, protective jewelry technology, their Bioceutical line of Supplements and through teaching the transcendence of the worldliness that brings suffering and binding while revealing the Ultimate Truth.
Ann Papayoti has endured some of life’s most brutal blows—her college best friend deliberately stealing her high school boyfriend; the loss of an infant child just shortly after he was thought to be out of danger, a belligerent and abusive husband, a child born with epilepsy, a family suicide, being bitten by a poisonous snake that resulted in months of chronic illness before being diagnosed, relinquishing a cherished foster teen whose actions threatened Ann’s family, and much more…
And despite them all, Ann found the gift hidden within each of these experiences. The gift of choice in how to respond to the challenge. In her new book, The Gift of Shift: Discover the Key Within to Unlock Your Best Life, Ann uses many of these experiences to show how one can open that gift lovingly. Instead of freezing up, becoming resistant or giving in to depression, resignation or other unhealthy emotions, one can choose a better, more life- affirming, adaptable approach that can lead to new possibilities and a better pathway forward.
Ann Papayoti, PCC, is an international life, leadership and relationship coach. She is dedicated to waking people up to living their best life by helping them untangle from their past, align with their values and connect to their higher purpose. Ann captivates, educates and inspires audiences by sharing her personal experiences of loss, transition and triumph. She connects with clients in-person and online through one-on-one and group coaching, speaking engagements, various teaching platforms, blogs and magazine articles. Ann is known for the personal and compassionate way she leads people to their own insights and growth.
Ann has attained the International Coach Federation Accredited Professional Certified Coach level, is a Certified Practitioner of Neuro-Linguistics Programming, and is a member of the Association of Integrative Psychology. You can learn more about her and her work at www.skyviewcoaching.com.

Following his post at SOD, Chief Contee became commander of the Sixth District in 2007, before taking command of the Recruiting Division in October 2014. He was named commander of the First District in January 2016, and was appointed Assistant Chief of MPD’s Professional Development Bureau in the summer 2016 where he oversaw the Human Resources Management Division, Disciplinary Review Division, the Metropolitan Police Academy, and Recruiting Division. In April 2017, Chief Contee was named Patrol Chief of Patrol Services South (PSS), which included his oversight of the First, Sixth, and Seventh Police Districts. He was named Assistant Chief of the Investigative Services Bureau (ISB), in March 2018. The ISB works with the community to solve crimes, bring offenders to justice, support the recovery of victims, and protect witnesses. It includes several divisions that are integral to supporting community safety. These divisions are the Criminal Investigations Division (CID), which includes the Homicide Branch and Sex Assault Unit; the Narcotics and Special Investigations Division (NSID), which provides proactive criminal enforcement services so that citizens can live in neighborhoods free from drug dealing, drug-related crime, and prostitution; the Crime Scene Investigations Division; Youth and Family Services Division; and the School Safety Division

Dr. Scott Schroeder is a Physician and Surgeon of the Foot and Ankle. He has been in practice for over 30 years in the State of Washington. He has lectured to the FDA and around the world on the systemic effects of metal allergies and reactions within the human body.
Over the decades he has developed a keen interest in the local and systemic effects of metals he has surgically placed in his patients. Over the past decade he has surgically removed over 1,000 metallic implants in over 400 patients. With this has come a wealth of practical knowledge of how these patients have responded to this metal in their bodies. He is currently involved in a number of studies, one of which is showing 3-4% “Life Changing” improvements in quality of life after removal of the metallic implants from the body. 4% would mean 1 in 25 surgeries where metal is implanted in the body. He is here today to review a number of these systemic reactions he has encountered after surgical implantation of metal in his patients and subsequent, sometimes extremely dramatic, improvement after removal of the metal.
