Born on September 28, 2001, in Southern Virginia, Daevion's accelerated growth and passion for the arts were evident from an early age, noticed by his mother. At four years old, he ventured into mime ministry at City of Refuge Kingdom Church.

With a natural inclination for physical expression, he refined his abilities through years of dedicated practice. He has earned recognition and was awarded at the National Association for the Study and Performance of African American Music (NASPAAM). Continuing his artistic journey, Daevion engaged in various activities, joining DECA at local, state, and national levels, alongside appearances in productions like "Freedom Day" with Elijah Coles-Brown and the YouTube series "The Bro Code" with Lance Everett, Adam Lee Henderson, Tyrell Morris, & Ryan Williams. Recognizing the potential of social media, he harnessed platforms to connect with a broader audience, releasing popular mime videos on his YouTube channel. His expressive prowess resonated with viewers globally, leading to his role as Melvin Weathers on TV One's syndicated true crime series, "Payback." Additionally, Daevion became a member of the National Society of Collegiate Scholars, serving as VP, Community Service for American Military University – American Public University System.

Corinne Henderson is a highly intuitive, experienced, and naturally gifted healer and transformational soul coach. She has guided hundreds of clients to reclaim their best selves and live lives of greater authenticity, meaning, and connection. It wasn't until her mid-30s that Corinne became aware of unprocessed trauma from her childhood and past lives which contributed to negative subconscious beliefs that kept her stuck in a life of stress, endless pressure, and disconnection. Despite appearing successful in her high-flying finance job with all the material comforts it provided, she felt like an imposter in her own life. This disconnection from her inner truth led Corinne to explore the modern epidemic of severance from the Soul. She soon developed a deeper connection to herself by retraining in hypnotherapy, Rapid Transformational Therapy, and Shamanic Practices. She became aware it was her mission to connect people back to their true source of power: the Soul, which she does by empowering individuals with simple, effective, and engaging tools that restore wholeness to the mental, emotional, spiritual, and physical bodies. Having harmonized the path, Corinne invites those seeking greater connection, purpose, and wellbeing to start today with her signature 'Reconnection' online course, which comes with a 21-day money-back guarantee. Alternatively, you can work with her live in a group setting for an online session, or in a 1:1 session offered both online and in person if you are in the West Yorkshire, England area.

Gabriel Azuola is a private consultant, political strategist, and entrepreneur with over a decade of experience in corporate law, labor law, and financial regulation. He is the founding partner of Cola Blanca Consulting, a boutique firm specializing in providing legal and strategic solutions for FinTech companies, both in Latin America and in global markets.   Throughout his career, he has developed solid expertise in the legal structuring of investments, capital raising, international operational design, mergers and acquisitions, and FinTech regulation. He has advised emerging companies, investment funds, and technology platforms in their expansion and consolidation efforts. During his tenure at OMNi Costa Rica—one of Latin America’s leading FinTech firms—he led the internal legal coordination and articulation with top-tier international law firms across multiple jurisdictions, heading interdisciplinary teams that helped secure over $150 million in funding.   His experience also extends into the public sphere, where he served as a consultant to the Senate of Mexico, contributing to legislative processes, public policy design, strategic communication, and the structuring of civic platforms. These roles gave him deep insight into political decision-making systems across Latin America.   Parallel to his professional work, Gabriel has maintained a steadfast commitment to education and social service. He is an active volunteer with the Educando Niños Foundation and has taught English in vulnerable communities such as Hogar Calasanz. His sense of purpose—rooted in faith and spiritual formation—has been a constant since his early education at the Methodist School of CostaRica, an institution that shaped his vision of holistic excellence based on the integration of mind, body, and soul.   His vocation for law and public life is intimately linked to his lineage. He is a sixth-generation direct descendant of Luis Eduardo Azuola, South American independence leader, brigadier general, and Vice President of Gran Colombia under Simón Bolívar. This heritage inspires not the pursuit of personal accolades, but the honoring of a legacy of liberty, justice, and civic responsibility. It equally carries the solemn continuity of stewardship, for he serves as the present head of the House of Azuola, custodian of its historical memory and bearer of its enduring duty to advance the principles and public virtues that defined its foundational generation. Through this role, he embraces responsibility not as inheritance, but as an ethical mandate to safeguard the dignity of the name he carries and to strengthen the lineage for those who will follow.

He has advised emerging companies, investment funds, and technology platforms in their expansion and consolidation efforts. During his tenure at OMNi Costa Rica—one of Latin America’s leading FinTech firms—he led the internal legal coordination and articulation with top-tier international law firms across multiple jurisdictions, heading interdisciplinary teams that helped secure over $150 million in funding. His experience also extends into the public sphere, where he served as a consultant to the Senate of Mexico, contributing to legislative processes, public policy design, strategic communication, and the structuring of civic platforms. These roles gave him deep insight into political decision-making systems across Latin America. Parallel to his professional work, Gabriel has maintained a steadfast commitment to education and social service. He is an active volunteer with the Educando Niños Foundation and has taught English in vulnerable communities such as Hogar Calasanz. His sense of purpose—rooted in faith and spiritual formation—has been a constant since his early education at the Methodist School of CostaRica, an institution that shaped his vision of holistic excellence based on the integration of mind, body, and soul. His vocation for law and public life is intimately linked to his lineage. He is a sixth-generation direct descendant of Luis Eduardo Azuola, South American independence leader, brigadier general, and Vice President of Gran Colombia under Simón Bolívar. This heritage inspires not the pursuit of personal accolades, but the honoring of a legacy of liberty, justice, and civic responsibility. It equally carries the solemn continuity of stewardship, for he serves as the present head of the House of Azuola, custodian of its historical memory and bearer of its enduring duty to advance the principles and public virtues that defined its foundational generation. Through this role, he embraces responsibility not as inheritance, but as an ethical mandate to safeguard the dignity of the name he carries and to strengthen the lineage for those who will follow.
