Courtney Miller is a transformer. At age 32, she was morbidly obese (about 260 pounds), homeless, broke, and a single mom. She was drifting through life without direction and feeling pretty worthless most of the time. She didn’t know how to turn that around until she met a wonderful coach that got her started and encouraged her to dream and achieve. Having someone in her corner that held her accountable made a massive difference! In fact, she became a life coach.
Courtney has been coaching clients to live a more joyful life since 2013. Her life has changed tremendously. She is very confident, has a healthy life style, owns her own business, travels to beautiful places, enjoys friendships, and owns a home. Most importantly, she has been married for more than 10 years to the love of my life and they have 2 beautiful, healthy and happy kids. She is a Toast Master and has recently participated in the division contest for humorous speeches. She believes that the transformation that she has experienced in her own life is the source of her inspiration to pay it forward to others. Are you ready to experience your BEST life with Courtney Miller?

Scott has performed nationally for over 20 years, and is the centerfold in the latest issue of Billboard Magazine! Scott is riding a musical wave on a path to enlightenment, with his latest album ‘Ascended Man’ tuned to 432 Hz, the same frequency as the ascended genius’ of our world such as Mozart, Beethoven and Bach. Ascended Man has over 1.5 million views, and is a new genre of music, called SOURCE MUSIC in 432. A portion of all proceeds from Scott's music will benefit Sweet Relief.
Scott sound, though, is not classical; Scott Howard’s music is a fine-tuned cornucopia of rock, adult contemporary and pop with soul inspiring lyrics under a smooth harmonious voice reminiscent of Cat Stevens or Crosby, Stills & Nash. Catchy and vibrant, anyone looking for depth and spirit will vibe with the various tunes on Howard’s album, although a closer look will provide a glimpse into a world of intricate philosophies, ancient secrets, and a boatload of mystery.
Scott Howard has released three full albums including his latest, “Ascended Man,” on which he has worked with major players in the industry such as hitmaker Producer, Marc Tanner (Madonna, Aerosmith) and multi-Grammy winner and legendary engineer/mixer, (David Bowie, John Lennon, Bruce Springsteen, Santana, Rob Thomas). Howard, who has performed at top tier venues throughout the country, awaits the day when he can fulfill his ultimate goal of performing at the pyramids in Giza, Egypt. “There is nothing more important to me that performing, offering joy and connecting with my fans.” says Howard, who is changing the world with literally uplifting and inspiring songs that promote healing and happiness for every listener.

Beauty and Fashion Entrepreneur and Philanthropist
Founder Neveen has a passion in fashion, beauty, community development and entrepreneurship, and is currently on a Foundation Domination World Tour 2018-2019, sharing her Flawless Makeup, Skin Care Kits, and Cosmetic Business Essentials. She has an inspiring story!
Hailing from South Sudan, Neveen Dominic often struggled to find cosmetic products made for her ebony skin tone. With so many cosmetics companies touting their foundations' "wide range" of skin tones, Dominic was often let down when she found that these same companies' color ranges so often stopped short at "mocha."
She remembers the days she struggled to find any products to suite her skin tone and although she was passionate about beauty, the limited product choices made it hard to achieve that glam look every girl dreams of. The job of perfecting the complexion is even more daunting for dark skinned women, who often have to perfect intricate makeup techniques or are left without being able to wear makeup at all. She noticed that even professional makeup artists shied away from taking clients with deep skin tones because of the limitations in their own product offerings. When Neveen saw other dark skinned women turn towards extreme methods such as skin bleaching to fit more Eurocentric standards of beauty, she knew that the issue was more than skin deep.
Fed up with having to compromise, Mrs. Dominic created Neveen Dominic Cosmetics with the goal of making all women look and feel beautiful, regardless of skin tone. The philanthropist and entrepreneur had a vision for celebrating and embracing multifaceted beauty and making accessible cosmetics for diverse women.
Naveen is the author of "Beauty from the Ashes of War: Testimony of God's Love and Dreams Come True", and the recipient of the True Beauty Foundations's "Woman of Inspiration and Impact Community Spirit Award", and one of 23 finalists for the 2018 Mompreneur awards.

Sports Analyst
Terry Hollimon also known as T-Holla, grew up with in an athletic family. Both him and his brothers played college football and his dad played professional football. Having a passion for acting and entertaining, his peers remembered him as a thespian in high school. With football being his number one passion, acting and entertaining would be considered his 1-A. His family fully supports the Barbershop Movement for what it represents and because they know how much entertaining and football means to him. His family considers it a blessing that Terry gets to enjoy doing what he loves for a living.
It was tough at first in the beginning to have people understand their vision and to see what they were talking about. They wanted to create a platform where they can talk about sports in a fashion where it is understandable to the average person. The average soccer mom can understand a football game better by listening to the Barbershop then they can from someone who has been talking football for the last 15 to 20 years. That was their biggest hurdle.
His long term goal for the Barbershop is to see it grow and to be on television with a worldwide audience
Fun Facts: He got to meet Marcus Trufant through his younger brother who played football with Marcus in college. Terry is a HUGE family man!
